In his explosive new memoir “Spare,” Prince Harry detailed losing his virginity in a “quick” romp with an “older woman.”
“Inglorious episode,” the Duke of Sussex writes in the book, which hits shelves in the US on Jan. 10. “She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion.”
He continues, “Quick ride, after which she’d smacked my rump and sent me to grace.”
Harry, 38, seemed to look back on the experience negatively.
“Among the many things about it that were wrong. It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub,” he writes.
While he didn’t identify the woman by name or say when the brief dalliance occurred, rumors have swirled for years that he lost his virginity to Elizabeth Hurley, who is 19 years older than the royal, when he was a teenager.
However, Hurley, 57, vehemently denied the speculation in December.
Harry famously dated his girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 37, on and off from 2004 to 2011. He was also romantically linked to the late Caroline Flack, Camila Romestrand, and Ellie Goulding before striking up his relationship with his now-wife Meghan Markle in 2016.
Elsewhere in his tome, Harry speaks candidly about his penis and even shuts down longstanding rumors that he and his brother Prince William were uncircumcised.
“My penis was a matter of public record, and indeed some public curiosity,” Harry writes. “The press had written about it extensively. There were countless stories in books, and papers (even The New York Times) about Willy and me not being circumcised.”
He adds, “Mummy had forbidden it, they all said, and while it’s absolutely true that the chance of getting penile frostbite is much greater if you’re not circumcised, all the stories were false. I was snipped as a baby.”
Harry had been discussing how his penis was “frostnipped” during his trip to Antarctica prior to William’s wedding to Kate Middleton.
“The pre-wedding dinner was pleasant, jolly, despite Willy visibly suffering from standard groom jitters,” he says. “I regaled the company with tales of the [South] Pole. Pa was very interested and sympathetic about the discomfort of my frostnipped ears and cheeks. It was an effort not to overshare and tell him about my equally tender penis.
“Upon arriving home I’d been horrified to discover that my nether regions were frost nipped as well, and while the ears and cheeks were already healing, the todger wasn’t.”
