Who is Sasha Walpole?
The Sun has revealed that Sasha Walpole is the woman who Harry lost his virginity to.
Harry’s disclosure sparked a worldwide guessing game about the identity of his older lover after writing about the romp in his book Spare.
But now Sasha has told how she is the mystery woman.
She told The Sun: “I am the woman who took Harry’s virginity. It was literally wham-bam between two friends. The sex was passionate and sparky because we shouldn’t have been doing it.
“One thing just quickly led to another. We ended up on the floor.”
How old was Sasha Walpole when she took Prince Harry’s virginity?
At the time Harry was just 16 — a year younger than his auto- biography claims.
The pair had sex after leaving a party held at the pub to mark Sasha’s 19th birthday.
Where did Sasha Walpole and Prince Harry have sex?
The one-off encounter took place in a meadow behind the car park of the historic Vine Tree Inn in Norton, Wiltshire, in July 2001.
Afterward Harry hid in a red phone box to avoid being seen — before Sasha’s pal Bryony drove a protection officer to him in her blue Ford Fiesta.
Sasha said: “We went outside and both climbed a three-bar fence to the field. We were quite drunk at this point. I gave Harry a cigarette. I lit mine and then his.
“We finished our cigarettes — Marlboro Lights — and it just happened. He started to kiss me.
“He was wearing boxers. There was no chatting, no words.
“It was exciting that it was happening. It was exciting that it was happening like the way it was. We were away for 15 minutes but the sex was about five minutes.”
How did Sasha Walpole and Prince Harry know each other?
Sasha met Prince Harry at 17 when she started working as an assistant groom at King Charles’s Gloucestershire home, Highgrove.
She explained: “They were lovely to work for and made me feel welcome. I would see the family from time to time.”
Sasha had first socialised with William, now 40, when the pair attended a show by the late Cornish stand-up comedian Jethro.
She said: “I think William enjoyed Jethro. When I met Harry he knew me as a groom and we started chatting.
“I saw them a lot when they were home. There was a trust that they could go out without having bother or hassle, surrounded by like-minded, horsey people.
“I saw Harry more as we went to the same places.”
Are Prince Harry and Sasha Walpole still in contact?
Following their romp Sasha never saw or spoke to Harry again.
She said: “Harry and I never texted or rang each other after that. I didn’t mind. I wasn’t embarrassed.
“Was I disappointed he didn’t ring? No. It was circumstances, we weren’t going out, we didn’t need to ring each other.”
Where is Sasha Walpole now?
Sasha shares her family home with hubby Ian — who she started dating in late 2001 and married in 2016 — and their two young girls.
She became a digger driver and now has her own groundworks business.
Sasha said: “I’d always driven dumpers and diggers with Dad.
“Ian bought me my first digger for my birthday. I drive a one-tonne that goes through doorways and a three-tonne too.
“I don’t think people will be amazed about me and Harry.
“People are usually amazed about me driving a digger.
“I think our friends from back then will be more surprised that I am driving a digger and not working with horses.
“But I like being in this world now, digging holes.”
