“Ludicrous!” That’s the word Elizabeth Hurley, the sizzling ‘Austin Powers’ starlet, used to squash the scandalous theory that she was the one who ushered Prince Harry into manhood. The rumor mill has been in overdrive since the Duke of Sussex dropped his explosive memoir ‘Spare,’ where he reminisces about his first time with an “older, beautiful woman in the countryside.”
The 58-year-old actress found herself in the eye of the storm, with fans speculating that she was the mystery woman who had a rendezvous with a young Harry in Gloucestershire. But Hurley, ever the firecracker, dismissed the rumors as “absurd” and “ridiculous” on the talk show ‘Watch What Happens Live.’
“I’ve never even bumped into the Duke,” she declared, adding another layer of intrigue to the royal mystery. This isn’t the first time Hurley has had to fend off these rumors. In a 2022 interview with Saturday Times, she laughed it off, saying, “Not me. Not guilty. Ha! No. Absolutely not.”
While she was busy debunking rumors, Hurley did spill some tea about her love life. “I’ve had a few famous men slide into my DMs,” she confessed. “I am seeing someone, but I’ve decided to keep it under wraps unless we get engaged.”
Before her current mystery beau, Hurley has walked down the aisle twice. She was married to Hugh Grant from 1987 to 2000, and then to Shane Warne from 2011 to 2013. She also had a brief fling with businessman Steve Bing. So, while the identity of Harry’s first remains a mystery, one thing is clear – it wasn’t Elizabeth Hurley.
