Prince Harry has gained somewhat of a reputation for being pretty generous with information since marrying Meghan Markle, but opening up about losing his virginity left some people gobsmacked.
The 40 year old Duke of Sussex married the Duchess, 43, in 2018 in a ceremony that was watched by 1.9 billion people - making it the third most watched event of all time.
In 2020, the two stepped down as working royals and became financially independent, following Meghan's mental health suffering as a result of relentless media scrutiny and racist language from a 'senior royal.'

Meghan and Harry opened up about their experience in a now infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Harry then went on to give even more detail in his explosive memoir, Spare, which was published in 2023.
While Harry did indeed touch upon the more emotionally difficult parts of his life, including his estrangement from his brother, Prince William, and the loss of his mother, the late Princess Diana - he also pokes fun at his younger years.
In no-holds-barred content, the Prince even discusses losing his virginity.

Harry revealed all about the 'inglorious episode' with an 'older woman', that occurred when he was 17 years old.
Harry wrote: "She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion.
"Quick ride, after which she'd smacked my rump and sent me off to graze. Among the many things about it that were wrong: It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub."
We told you it was jaw dropping.

He also shared some memories of Princess Diana.
Harry recounted his dad, King Charles, saying: 'Mummy was quite badly injured and taken to a hospital, darling boy.'
Harry wrote: "He always called me 'darling boy,' but he was saying it quite a lot now. His voice was soft. He was in shock, it seemed."

Charles added that his dad said: 'I'm afraid she didn't make it,' and Harry writes: 'everything seemed to come to a stop.'
Harry continued: "What I do remember with startling clarity is that I didn't cry. Not one tear.
"Pa didn't hug me. He wasn't great at showing emotions under normal circumstances, how could he be expected to show them in such a crisis? But his hand did fall once more on my knee and he said: 'It's going to be OK.'
"That was quite a lot for him. Fatherly, hopeful, kind. And so very untrue."
