Elizabeth Hurley wants to make it very clear that she was not the “older woman” who swiped Prince Harry‘s V-card.
The actress stopped by the Bravo Clubhouse for Wednesday night’s (April 3) episode of Watch What Happens Live, where host Andy Cohen brought up the speculation that she was the horse-loving English woman the Duke of Sussex wrote about losing his virginity to in his bombshell memoir, Spare.
“That was ludicrous,” Hurley immediately answered. “He said, ‘She was English, she was older than me, it was in Gloucester.’ They were like, ‘Oh, it’s Elizabeth!’ It was absurd.”
She continued, “It was ridiculous. It’s like saying, ‘He’s great looking, he’s American.’ And they say, ‘Oh, it’s Andy Cohen.’ It was absurd.”
Before they could move on to the next question, Cohen couldn’t help but poke fun at the rumors.
“But was Harry a good lover and were you gentle with him?” he joked, before Brooke Shields chimed in, “Oh my god! What’s wrong with you? … Now I need to protect her from you! Goddammit!”
Hurley simply laughed off Cohen’s remark, telling him one last time that she has “never met” Prince Harry.
The former working royal initially sparked speculation after he wrote about having an “inglorious episode” with “an older woman” when he was only 17 years old in his memoir, which came out in early 2023.
“She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion,” he wrote, per E! News. “Quick ride, after which she’d smacked my rump and sent me off to graze. Among the many things about it that were wrong: It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub.”
With Hurley out of the equation, it looks like internet sleuths are heading back to the drawing board!
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
