Elizabeth Hurley Responds To Rumour She Took Prince Harry’s Virginity

Elizabeth Hurley has insisted she’s never seen Prince Harry’s crown jewels.

On Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, the British actor addressed a wild theory that she took the royal’s virginity thanks to a vague passage in his memoir, Spare.

“That was ludicrous!” she told host Andy Cohen, according to a clip published by the New York Post.

“He said, ‘She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.’ And [people] were like, ‘Ah, it’s Elizabeth.’ It was absurd. It was ridiculous.”

Elizabeth also reportedly told aNDY that she’s “never met him in my life”, according to the Post.

“She liked horses, quite a lot and… treated me not unlike a young stallion,” he wrote. “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.”

While Elizabeth denied knowing Prince Harry in real life, the rumour may have been spurred by the star’s love for horses — and a business transaction she once had with another royal.

Elizabeth sold a three-year-old filly named Memory to Queen Elizabeth II in 2011 for a reported 500,000 pounds (about $633,000), according to Horse & Hound.

The Austin Powers performer is also known for her cheeky and straightforward personality, which seems to somewhat match the description of the unnamed woman in Spare.

In 2015, during another interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Hurley was asked why her 13-year relationship with fellow English actor Hugh Grant didn’t work out.

It was a loaded question, being that Hugh was arrested in 1995 after being caught in a car with a sex worker while he still was dating Elizabeth.

In response to the question, she made a jokey face acknowledging the elephant in the room but opted to share her reason for the split.

“He used to really annoy me,” Elizabeth said. “I mean, I love him, but he’s very annoying. …My friends used to call him Grump-elstiltskin.”

Liz Hurley’s Son Damian Reveals The Cheeky Nickname Hugh Grant Has For Him And His Famous Mum

Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant may not be a couple any more, but it seems like the pair still have a very cheeky relationship. 

Liz’s son Damian has revealed the nickname the Notting Hill actor has for him and his famous mum. 

Hugh is actually godfather to the 19-year-old, and in a profile on Elizabeth in The Sunday Times (£), Damian spoke about his relationship with Hugh. 

“My godfather Hugh [Grant] calls us ‘the Monsters’,” Damian said.

“He says we’re like a tornado when we swarm into a room … we look ‘terrifyingly alike and cause mayhem’.” 

Damian has regularly made headlines for his similarity to his mother, even sporting a version of Elizabeth’s ‘safety pin dress’ that she wore to the premiere of Four Weddings And A Funeral with Hugh over 25 years ago.

Elsewhere in the interview, Liz said she hopes she always remains friends with ex-boyfriend. 

“He’s very happily married,” she told the paper. “I spent some time with him and his wife a few weeks ago at a birthday party. He has five children.

“He’s a great daddy. His career is through-the-roof fantastic at the moment. Best reviews of his life, brilliant offers on the table. We’re good friends and I hope it always stays that way.”

She also revealed that Hugh has been surprised at the way she has changed since they were together from 1987 to 2000. 

“I was a recluse for years. I didn’t leave the house unless I was being paid to do so. I couldn’t bear people listening to me, staring at me, watching me. I felt vulnerable and scared the entire time,” she said.

Recalling a more recent time when she and Hugh drove to pick up Damian from school, Elizabeth continued: “On the way I stopped the car and said, ‘I’m getting a coffee.’ When I got back, he said, ‘You went out to a shop? I’ve never seen you do that ever.’ I told him I now go to my local Waitrose. He was like, ‘You go to a supermarket?’ It’s normal for me now.

“I don’t know if I’d go to Waitrose on the Kings Road, I think I’d start sweating, but Boots on Fulham Road? Maybe.”
