Actor Rupert Everett has raised doubts about Prince Harry’s claim of losing his virginity in a field behind a pub.
In an interview with the Telegraph magazine on the day of the much-anticipated release of the Duke’s memoir, Spares, Everett expressed skepticism about the story.
According to Prince Harry, the open-air encounter took place when he was a student at Eton in 2001.
The Duke, who would have been 17 at the time, described the older woman as treating him like a young stallion.
However, Everett has a different perspective on the matter.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Everett revealed that he knows the woman involved and stated that the encounter did not take place behind a pub or in the United Kingdom.
When asked if he believed Prince Harry was intentionally covering up the true identity of the woman, Everett responded with a slight grin, leaving the question unanswered.
The actor’s revelation about the incident has altered his perception of the Duke, expressing sadness rather than anger.
He sympathizes with Prince Harry, particularly regarding the fallout from the Taliban controversy, which has caused him to lose support from a group that once held him in high regard.
In the midst of the speculation surrounding the woman in question, Liz Hurley was the first to be identified as a potential suspect.
However, in an interview, she denied any involvement, stating unequivocally, “Not me.
I’m not guilty.”
Susanna Harvey, a former model, and Catherine O’Mahony, an interior designer, also distanced themselves from the encounter.
Harvey had previously admitted to passionately kissing Prince Harry in a muddy field after a Christmas ball in 2001, but she dismissed the recent rumors, posting a picture on Instagram with a packet of ginger nuts, claiming, “Believe zero of what you read.”
O’Mahony, who dated Prince Harry when she was 34 and he was 21, stated that she despised horses and was definitely not the woman in the field.
In another revelation, a former fellow soldier disclosed an incident involving Prince Harry.
According to The Sun, the Duke of Sussex, while intoxicated, stumbled into a sentry booth at St James’s Palace, triggering a panic alarm.
The soldier, who witnessed the event, described Prince Harry as being in a state of disarray, with his actions prompting three guards to rush to the scene.
At the age of 27, Prince Harry was eventually escorted back to his apartment by two police officers.
The incident was later discussed at Wellington Barracks near St James’s.
The soldier, who had served in the armed forces for over a decade and suffered injuries from an IED in Afghanistan, expressed frustration with Prince Harry’s claims in his memoir, referring to him as a “social hand grenade” within officer circles.
While Rupert Everett’s revelation challenges Prince Harry’s account of losing his virginity, the true details of the incident remain uncertain.
As the Duke’s memoir continues to generate interest, readers are left to question the accuracy of his recollections.
The ongoing speculation surrounding the woman involved adds another layer of complexity to the story.
Only time will tell if further revelations will shed light on this intriguing chapter of Prince Harry’s life.
