Liz Hurley has denied she is the mystery ‘beautiful older woman’ Prince Harry reportedly lost his virginity to.

The 57-year-old actor was asked about the rumour during an interview with the Saturday Times magazine.

According to the outlet, one of ‘the most extraordinary disclosures in Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, Spare, is that as a teenager he lost his virginity to a beautiful older woman in the countryside’.

When asked about whether the rumour that it was her is true, Liz replied: ‘Not me. Not guilty. Ha!’, before going on to add ‘No. Not me. Absolutely not’.

Prince Harry’s 416-page autobiography, Spare, will be released on January 10 next year, with senior royals said to be bracing themselves for the publication.

‘Put it this way, it’s not going to make for a relaxing family Christmas,’ a source told the Mail on Sunday.

It has been claimed that Prince Harry had to submit his book more than once before it was accepted by publishers, sparking fears that it was ‘sexed up’ with revelations about the Royal Family.

A source told The Sun: ‘The book has been back and forth between Harry and [ghost writer] JR Moehringer and the publishers a few times. They wanted more than was in the first draft, and then Harry wanted to refine things after the Queen passed away.

According to the Saturday Times magazine, Prince Harry’s (pictured with wife Meghan Markle in New York this month) autobiography discloses that ‘as a teenager he lost his virginity to a beautiful older woman in the countryside’

‘But there has been extra toing and froing that people don’t know about. This is because the publishers wanted more areas covered and more detail on some things that were already included.

‘There is a real concern that that means Harry has had to sex up the book and include revelations that even he might not even be that comfortable with.’

Publishers Penguin Random House say the book is written with ‘raw unflinching honesty’ and is expected to contain explosive new material addressing Harry’s childhood and his rift with ‘The Firm’ after meeting Meghan.

A source added: ‘The book is much worse than people think.’

Biographer Tom Bower told The Sun: ‘This book is really make or break. I imagine that King Charles has been warned that any retaliation won’t be pretty.

‘All that King Charles can really do is to withhold the titles for his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet. Ultimately, I suppose, he could take away Harry and Meghan’s titles as well, but that’s pretty drastic.

‘I don’t know what else he can do. If it is as bad as I think it is, then Harry and Meghan have gone fully rogue.’

He added that the best thing the royal family could do in this scenario would be to ‘break ties’ with the pair.

The title is presumed to refer to Harry being the ‘spare’ to Prince William’s ‘heir’ but has been translated to sound more ominous in other languages.

In Spain it will be called In The Shadow, in Sweden The Other, and in Denmark, The Reservist.

Harry will narrate the audio version himself, but voice artist Emily Woo Zeller warned: ‘To take words off a page and make them sound like dialogue is a skill. I don’t know if Harry has that skill.’

Announcing the global publishing deal this year, Penguin Random House described the memoir as ‘intimate and heartfelt’

Another source close to Prince Harry told the Telegraph that the Duke of Sussex wrote his controversial memoir for himself, rather than being a ‘takedown of his family’.

It was described by those familiar with the manuscript as a ‘beautiful read’, that readers from all walks of life will identify with.

The experience of addressing his past struggles is said to have been cathartic for Prince Harry.

The source said: ‘You can’t always live your life trying to make your family or your siblings happy. You have to choose your own happiness.’

An initial release date had been pencilled in for ‘late 2022’ to capitalise on the lucrative Christmas market, but the book will not be on the shelves until January 10 – said to be as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen, and, it is rumoured, due to last-minute alterations requested by the duke.
