Rebel Wilson has described in her new book how she was still a virgin when a mystery royal invited her to an orgy at the California ranch of a tech billionaire.
The Australian comedian, star of Bridesmaids, said she didn't have sex until she was 35, but shortly before, in 2014, she had a narrow escape at a party at a ranch just outside Los Angeles.
In her memoir, Rebel Rising, she said a low ranking royal with little to no chance of becoming monarch invited her, suggesting there was a need for more girls.
There was a medieval theme, but Wilson, who wore a "buxom damsel outfit complete with cone hat," didn't realise until around 2 a.m. that it was about to turn into an orgy.
"I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs," she wrote. "They are my best physical asset.
"There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden, it's two a.m."
"A guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy," she continued. "I'm like, 'Ooooh, is that candy?' and the guy holding the tray says, "No, this is the molly.'
"He says, 'Oh, it's for the orgy . . . it's about to start . . . the orgies normally start at these things about this time.'"
Having never had sex before, the star felt out of her depth and had to get out, also fearing the party could have been recorded.
"Now the comment by the Windsor about needing more girls started to make a lot more sense," she wrote.
"They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!
"So I'm like two minutes away from being in an orgy... for my first sexual experience!"
"I also get this weird feeling that maybe all this is being filmed by hidden cameras—but that's just a gut instinct," she added.
"Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can – not looking back for fear I'll witness some insane centipede of tech guys and Hollywood wispies around the fire pit.
"Some of my friends have subsequently told me that I should've just tried the orgy. But that would've been like going from zero to a thousand."
Ultimately, Wilson didn't have too long to wait before losing her virginity around a year or so later, but she shared the story of being a late bloomer in the hope of encouraging others not to put pressure on themselves.
She told People: "People can wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature.
"And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don't have to wait until you're in your 30s like me, but you shouldn't feel pressure as a young person."
