Prince Harry dropped many bombshells in his explosive memoir “Spare” last month, but one tidbit he divulged in regards to the time he lost his virginity will not be accurate — at the least in response to actor Rupert Everett.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, wrote that he got it on with an older woman, who “supposedly liked macho horses,” in a field behind a pub where he was treated “like a young stallion.”
Nonetheless, Everett recently made the assertion that Harry’s story just isn’t exactly true.
“I do know who the lady he lost his virginity to is. And it wasn’t behind a pub. And it wasn’t on this country [the United Kingdom],” the 63-year-old claimed to The Telegraph.
The “My Best Friend’s Wedding” actor continued: “I’m just putting it on the market that I do know.”
Harry penned in his memoir how his first sexual experience was a “quick ride.”
“I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my a– and sent me away. One in all my many mistakes was letting it occur in a field, just behind a really busy pub. Little question someone had seen us,” he added.
It’s unclear how the “My Policeman” star and Harry could know one another, but Everett was seen shaking hands with Harry’s step-mother, Queen Consort Camilla, in 2010 at a charity fashion show and kissing the previous Duchess of Cornwall at a 2011 event. He also copped to an embarrassing “night out” with Princess Margaret in 1986.
In response to Everett’s allegations, an unnamed “source near the Duke” told The Telegraph: “Amazing that he would know such a private detail higher than Prince Harry himself.”
Rumors have since circulated over the identity of the said woman who supposedly took Harry’s virginity away, with actress Elizabeth Hurley’s name being thrown into the combination.
Nonetheless, the “Royals” star, 57, denied allegations that she was one in an interview with the Saturday Times magazine published last month. “Not me. Not guilty. Ha!” she laughed. “No. Not me. Absolutely not.”
Harry’s bombshell book has caused a stir among the many royal family and his father King Charles could possibly be preparing to share his side of the story in a BBC interview, a royal source revealed on Jan. 31.
Charles, 74, be the topic of a TV profile ahead of his coronation on May 6 and use could sue the airtime to talk his truth.
“Plans are already up and running for coronation coverage on the BBC, including the profile on the monarch. It just isn’t the done thing to avoid subjects in interviews, so it makes matters tricky,” an insider told the Mirror recently.
Broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby has been named as a contender to conduct the live chat with Charles as he’s a longtime pal of the sovereign.
As for Everett’s thoughts on the matter, the actor told The Telegraph that “Spare” made him change his perception of Harry.
“It’s made me change my view,” he said. “I used to be indignant before, and now I just feel very sad – sad for Harry. I felt so sympathetic towards him for years and I still do now.”
