Liz Hurley has denied being the 'older woman' who took Prince Harry's virginity behind a pub.
Harry, 38, recalled how he lost his virginity behind a 'busy pub' to an 'older woman' who 'spanked him' back in 2001.
In his new autobiography, Spare, The Duke of Sussex recalled how he was taken for lunch by a royal bodyguard named Marko, who was investigating rumours he had been taking drugs.

At the time, King Charles' press office had been alerted that a newspaper had evidence that Harry had been using recreational drugs.
Marko told him: “They’ve asked me to discover the truth, Harry.
“I suspected that he was referring to the recent loss of my virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked horses a lot and treated me like a young stallion," wrote Harry.
“I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked me on the backside and sent me on my way. One of my many errors was to do it in a field, just behind a crowded pub.”
Asking Marko what he meant, Harry realised he had been talking about something different.
He told him: “About your drug taking.”
The encounter happened in 2001, while Harry was attending Eton, meaning he was aged 16 or 17 at the time.
The prince did not reveal the identity of the 'older woman' and last month, Liz Hurley denied it was her.
Speaking to The Times, Hurley, 57, said: "Not me, not guilty, ha. No, not me. Absolutely not."
In the book, Harry also opens up about wearing a Nazi uniform as a costume to a birthday party in 2005, claiming brother Prince William and Kate Middleton urged him to wear the outfit.
Harry attended the 'Native and Colonial'-themed birthday party thrown by Olympic show jumper Richard Meade for his son, also named Harry.
"I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazy uniform, they said," Harry writes in his book, according to Page Six.
He then tried on the outfit for them to help solve the toss-up between both costume options.
"They both howled. Worse than Willy's leotard outfit! Way more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point."
Prince Harry attended the party with his elder brother Prince William, who reportedly wore a skin-tight black leotard with a leopard skin pattern which was paired with matching leopard skin tail and paws.
Spare will be released on 10 January.
