We now know the identity of the woman Prince Harry wrote about in his explosive memoir, Spare. The prince recounted a salacious story from his youth wherein he lost his virginity to an "older" woman behind a pub, though he never revealed her name. But now, a British mom of two has come forward to say she is that mysterious woman.
The story of how Harry lost his virginity was one of the first tidbits leaked from his book.
The royal's tale about how he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub became a very hot topic of conversation after Page Six released an excerpt that had been translated from a Spanish copy of Harry's book. In the passage, the prince described an "inglorious episode" where he'd been treated no better than a horse out to stud after grabbing some drinks with a friend.
Now the woman is speaking out about what happened between them.
Talking to the Daily Mail, Sasha Walpole — who is now 40 and just two years older than Harry — confessed to being the older woman from the book. She said their impromptu sexual encounter happened the night of her 19th birthday party, to which she invited her then-17-year-old friend Harry.
"He started to kiss me," she recalled of what happened when they stepped out for a cigarette together. "It was passionate, intense. We both knew. It went from a kiss on to the floor pretty quickly."
Sasha said she only viewed him as a friend and not the royal he was.
"We didn't set out to do it — it wasn't premeditated, and I didn't know he was a virgin," she continued. "There were no virgin vibes. He seemed to know what he was doing. It was quick, wild, exciting. We were both drunk. It wouldn't have happened if we weren't."
We honestly can't imagine how she must have felt in the moment.
Sasha also explained the 'horsey' send-off she gave him.
One of the strangest aspects of Harry's story was his claim that the woman he was with had treated him "like a horse" after their encounter.
"Afterwards, I did grab his bum and give him a slap. I gave him a little squeeze as well. He had a peachy bum," Sasha explained, adding that they were both part of the horse scene at the time. "I don't know about the stallion thing; I think that was more to do with the fact that I worked with horses."
Sasha's not upset that Harry shared their story with the world.
Although some people might be upset or embarrassed to see their teen exploits turned into a public spectacle and gossip fodder, Sasha insisted that she isn't angry with her one-time lover. That's good news for Harry, whose book has seemed to rile up quite a few people. (Rumor has it he won't be allowed anywhere near his father King Charles' upcoming coronation.)
We have to admit we're glad that the woman's identity has been revealed and that she was only two years older than Harry at the time.
