Prince Harry reveals he had sex for the first time with an older woman behind a pub, opens up about cocaine use
By Bronte Gossling|
Prince? Harry has revealed he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field at the age of 17.
According to leaked and translated extracts from his memoir Spare, first obtained by The Sun from Spain, a teenaged Harry had sex for the first time with an unnamed older woman in a field behind a "very busy pub" between 2001 and 2002.
Harry reportedly writes that the woman treated the young prince like a "young stallion", which he reveals in a passage where he speaks about how one of the British royal family's bodyguards, who he says was called Marko, visited him when he was studying at Eton in Windsor and told him he had been sent to "find out the truth."

?"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," Harry writes.
"I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away," he continues.
"One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us."
Marko, however, was actually checking up on Harry because Charles' press office had caught wind of the fact that a newspaper had evidence of Harry taking drugs, which he said was "all lies."

Harry, however, did reveal in Spare that he had "taken cocaine" during a shooting weekend in 2002's British summer, when he was 17, and did "a few more lines" on other occasions, per the Times.
?He writes it was not "fun and it did not make me feel as happy as it seemed to make others but it did make me feel different and that was my main goal. To feel. To be different".
He continues, "I was a 17-year-old willing to try almost anything that would upset the established order. At least that was what I was trying to convince myself of."

In January 2016, when Harry was 31, the duke writes he went to California with friends, drank tequila, got drunk, and took magic mushrooms. He then writes that he started hallucinating, believing a rubbish bin in a bathroom ?was staring at him and growing a head, at which stage the toilet had also become a head, and began talking to him.
Harry then left the room giggling, he says, and his friend later believed his puffer jacket had turned into a dragon.

The duke has previously spoken about his drug use, telling Oprah Winfrey in 2021: "?I was willing to drink. I was willing to take drugs. I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling."
Charles sent Harry to Featherstone Lodge, a drug rehabilitation clinic in south London, in 2002 after he admitted to smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol.?
As for the unnamed woman's identity, Liz Hurley denied ?longstanding rumours it was her in an interview in December.
