Prince Harry lost virginity in field behind pub to older woman who liked 'macho horses'

Prince Harry has spoken candidly about losing his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a busy pub.

The Duke of Sussex revealed intimate details about the first time he had sexual intercourse at the age of 17 in his highly-anticipated autobiography, Spare.

The identity of Harry's first sexual partner has been teased by the Prince over the years - with Liz Hurley recently coming out to deny she was the mystery woman.

Using descriptions that could easily have come out of a 50 Shades of Gray novel, Harry says his mature lover "liked macho horses" and treated him "like a young stallion".

Harry does have regrets about his first sexual encounter, which ended with his bum being slapped, because he's convinced they were spotted.

Back in 2001, when he was a student at Eton College in Windsor, Harry confessed all to one of the Royal Family's bodyguards, Marco, when he paid him a visit.

During lunch in a city centre cafeteria, Harry endured a humiliating experience when a sombre-looking Marco said he had come to find out the truth.

In a transcript of the book seen by the Mail, Harry wrote: "I suspected he was referring to my recent loss of virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion.

"I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away. One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us."

However, Harry had needn't confessed because it turned out that had been sent to check up on the young Prince for a different reason.

It was actually because King Charles' press office had been told a newspaper had evidence of Harry taking drugs, which he said was all lies.

Harry didn't get into a serious relationship with his older woman - and three years later he started dating Chelsea Davy.

The identity of Harry's mature lover has been a mystery for decades, but he claimed she was "a beautiful older woman in the countryside".

Some believed that Liz Hurley may have been the one, but the Austin Powers star laughed off the rumours in December.

She told The Times : "Not me. Not guilty. Ha, adding: "No. Not me. Absolutely not."

This was fuelled by wife Meghan Markle previously writing about having a "girl crush" on Liz in a coincidental admission before she met Harry.

Writing on her now-defunct blog The Tig in 2015, the former Suits star said the fondness was ignited by Liz's famed safety pin Versace dress moment.

Despite a huge security operation to protect the content of Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, Spare, a section of the book was leaked earlier today.

Harry claims William called Meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive", while adding that his father, King Charles, made a cruel joke about him moments after he was born.

The Duke of Sussex revealed he killed 25 people while on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.

He also says that the Prince and Princess of Wales encouraged Harry to wear a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party.

The Duke of Sussex, who was aged 20 at the time, caused outrage when he was pictured wearing the soldier's uniform complete with a swastika in 2005.

Harry has claimed they both laughed at what he was wearing. They have not commented on his claims.

Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have refused to content on the contents of the book, which hits the shelves on Tuesday.

This story is based off a translated version of Prince Harry ’s book Spare.

Spare is set to be released early next week at all book stores and can be bought online here.
