Elizabeth Hurley is currently promoting Strictly Confidential, a film written and directed by her look-alike son Damian. Mother and son have been making the American promotional rounds, which is how Elizabeth ended up on Watch What Happens Live this week. At some point, she was asked about the speculation last year that she was the “older woman” who took Prince Harry’s virginity. Remember all of that? Harry barely devoted three sentences in Spare to his first lover, and the Mail and the Sun both paid some woman, Sasha Walpole, to come out of the woodwork and claim that she was Harry’s first. Sasha Walpole was so chaotic and sleazy, btw. In any case, Elizabeth Hurley says she’s never even met Harry, much less slept with him.
Elizabeth Hurley is slamming rumors that she took Prince Harry’s virginity. The theory surfaced after the Duke of Sussex, 39, recalled the first time he had sex in his book “Spare,” which was released in January 2023.
“That was ludicrous!” Hurley, 58, said in response during a “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” appearance on Wednesday. “He said, ‘She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.’ And they were like, ‘Ah, it’s Elizabeth.’ It was absurd. It was ridiculous.”
She added, “It was like saying, ‘He’s great-looking. He’s American.’ Oh, it’s Andy Cohen.”
In fact, Hurley and Harry haven’t even crossed paths before. She quipped: “I’ve never met him in my life.”
As I was trying to figure out if Harry and Elizabeth’s paths might have crossed at some point, I remembered that they’re both part of the group of celebrities suing the f–k out of the Daily Mail for hacking and all of that illegal sh-t. Like, it’s all the same lawsuit with Elton John, Sadie Frost and Baroness Doreen Lawrence. That puts the whole “Harry and Elizabeth slept together” rumor in a different light, doesn’t it? It also adds some layers to how quickly the tabloids payed Sasha Walpole to come forward to embarrass Harry. Incidentally, one of the things which is underreported is how much coordination is likely happening behind-the-scenes with the plaintiffs of all of these media lawsuits. I’ve felt for some time now that Harry is probably communicating with a lot of the other hacking victims.

The trash rags are so horrible… what woman wants to be in the cover of a rag with that title / description ? Ewww
Ikr? “Er Dad…I had Harry in a field.” I hope she was well paid for that headline. When people are young, they never think about how something like that will follow and haunt them to their grave. Smh .
She is correct, his description in Spare is so generic that it was a ridiculous leap. I also remember that Sasha woman claiming that he had ruined her life and embarrassed her kids with that part of the book. That is was so easy to figure out it was her because something, something ( still don’t believe it’s been confirmed). Seems to have had no issue appearing on the front page of two national newspapers though. Funny how all these people that came out the woodwork during Spare, you’ve never heard from again. Almost like they only popped up because of monetary incitement.
I’m sure the money was nice but Sasha Walpole only ending up embarrassing herself
The press go after Liz because she’s still close to Hugh Grant, and if you think they hate Harry that’s nothing on what they feel about Hugh. He gave evidence to the Leveson enquiry and has campaigned relentlessly on press intrusion and hacking. He can be a bit of an a*** but he’s also been incredibly courageous – the tabloids are desperate to get him.
Elizabeth Hurley is a more fun theory than random woman with no dignity who sells Harry out to the tabs.
i still don’t think sasha did anything wrong. Harry made money telling the story in Spare; she made money telling it to the tabloids. if it wasn’t her, im sure Harry would have sued the papers over it.
Interesting point. I don’t necessarily think she was wrong in cashing in on the story, but I find two aspects of this incredibly cringe:
1. Her insistence that his extremely vague description forced her into the spotlight and
2. I mean those headlines are just awful, and she offered herself up for ridicule by participating in this circus.
If she’s not embarrassed, hey take the cash. Not like I know how I’d behave if I had that kinda story in my back pocket, but I like to think I’d parlay it into thinly veiled work of “fiction” or something, hope for a Lifetime movie that people snicker at but brush off as probably not a true story.
Chaine, I don’t think he would sue. He deliberately kept that vague so that people wouldn’t know who it is. If he sued because it wasn’t Sasha, he would have to say who it was. I don’t think Harry cares if she does this to herself. I hope she got paid a whopping big sum, otherwise why would she do this?
@Chaine, I think the wrong part is that he blamed Harry for outing her. Like everyone said, he kept it very vague, the phrase “an older woman” made everyone think a woman in her 30’s, 40’s. She said, some friends knew about it, so she came forward instead of her friends leaking her name, but again she blamed Harry, not her “friends”. If she was like, “yeah, that is ME!” and got her bag from the tabloids or wrote a book about it, I don’t think anyone would say “how dare you!”.
I find Damien Hurley a very creepy looking guy.
Yup…and I find their relationship creepy too.
Which part of wearing the highest slit ever on an outing with your son is creepy?
That was uncalled for…if anything, they look normal. I always hated when kids act like that was not the actually woman that gave birth them, fed them from their actually body, watch their actual naked skin for years.
They look like a loving parent and child…
It very weird to me when people add ‘creepy’ to certain things.
