Elizabeth Hurley has unequivocally dismissed rumors linking her to Prince Harry’s past, labeling the speculation as “absurd.”

The Duke of Sussex’s memoir Spare hinted at an encounter with an older woman, described as someone fond of “macho horses” who treated him akin to a “young stallion.” However, Harry opted not to disclose the identity of this person.

Following the book’s publication, speculation swirled, with some pointing fingers at Elizabeth Hurley. But the actress swiftly refuted these claims during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, deeming the notion “ludicrous.”

“That was ludicrous. 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,” Hurley stated.

Furthermore, she asserted that she had never crossed paths with Harry, adding a touch of humor by complimenting the host: “He’s great-looking. He’s American. Oh, it’s Andy Cohen.”

In Spare, Harry recounted the encounter as an “inglorious episode” that took place in a grassy field behind a bustling pub. The revelation sparked further intrigue, with Sasha Walpole stepping forward to claim she was the woman involved.

Sasha disclosed details of their rendezvous, which occurred after a night of revelry celebrating her 19th birthday in 2001. She described the encounter as “instant, fiery, wham bam,” attributing the spontaneity to the circumstances.

“We didn’t set out to do it – it wasn’t premeditated and I didn’t know he was a virgin. There were no virgin vibes – he seemed to know what he was doing. It was quick, wild, exciting,” Sasha shared with the Daily Mail.
