Rupert Everett casts doubt on Harry's claims he lost virginity in older woman field romp

Rupert Everett has said he knows how Prince Harry lost his virginity - claiming it wasn't to an older woman behind a pub.

It comes after the Duke of Sussex claimed in his memoir Spare that he was "treated like a stallion" by an older woman in a "grassy field behind a busy pub".

However, actor Everett says Harry's account is not strictly true, claiming he knows the identity of the woman involved.

Everett told The Telegraph Magazine : "I know who the woman he lost his virginity to is. And it wasn't behind a pub. And it wasn't in this country.

"I'm just putting it out there that I know."

The identity of Harry's first sexual partner has been teased by the Prince over the years - with Liz Hurley recently coming out to deny she was the mystery woman.

Using descriptions that could easily have come out of a 50 Shades of Gray novel, Harry says his mature lover "liked macho horses" and treated him "like a young stallion".

Harry does have regrets about his first sexual encounter, which ended with his bum being slapped, because he's convinced they were spotted.

Back in 2001, when he was a student at Eton College in Windsor, Harry confessed all to one of the Royal Family's bodyguards, Marco, when he paid him a visit.

During lunch in a city centre cafeteria, Harry endured a humiliating experience when a sombre-looking Marco said he had come to find out the truth.

Harry writes: "I suspected he was referring to my recent loss of virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion.

"I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away. One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us."

The identity of Harry's mature lover has been a mystery for decades, but he claimed she was "a beautiful older woman in the countryside".

Some believed that Liz Hurley may have been the one, but the Austin Powers star laughed off the rumours in December.

She told The Times : "Not me. Not guilty. Ha", adding: "No. Not me. Absolutely not."

This was fuelled by wife Meghan Markle previously writing about having a "girl crush" on Liz in a coincidental admission before she met Harry.

Writing on her now-defunct blog The Tig in 2015, the former Suits star said the fondness was ignited by Liz's famed safety pin Versace dress moment.
