Older woman who took Harry's virginity says their sexual encounter 'crossed the line'

The woman who claims she took Prince Harry's virginity 20 years ago has said their brief sexual encounter 'crossed a line'.

Sasha Walpole has identified herself as the woman Harry briefly wrote about in his bestselling memoir Spare earlier this year, as he recalled the night he had sex for the first time outside a pub.

She claims she was unaware her former lover was going to write about their tryst in his autobiography and wishes the dad-of-two had given her a heads up about the book admission.

In his memoir, Harry described how as a 17-year-old student at Eton, he lost his virginity to an "older woman" in a field behind a "very busy pub".

The dad-of-two referred to the encounter as "a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion".

Sasha admits there were things 'wrong' about her sexual encounter with Harry all those years ago and it was never her intention to sleep with the Duke of Sussex.

Harry never named Sasha as the woman who took his virginity when writing in his memoir Spare, but Sasha has since come forward to publicly reveal herself and open up about her time with Harry to Piers Morgan.

Quizzed by the former Good Morning Britain host on whether their encounter was 'inglorious' as Harry described it, Sasha revealed: "The thing wrong about it was we were two friends and it should never have happened. We crossed the line, it was never intentional there was nothing before, nothing after.

"I mean inglorious? It’s not really that glorious sleeping with someone in a field behind a pub when you are drunk.

“There is nothing glorious about being drunk and then copping off with one of your mates, in a field," she added with a smile when chatting on TalkTV on Thursday night's show.

Sasha went on to describe how they used to go to The Vine Tree, where the incident happened, and to other pubs in the local area. Prince William would also join the friends in the pub - and was there on the night in question - and she added it was a relaxed atmosphere where everyone mixed.

Elsewhere in the interview, Sasha recalled how she "almost fell off [her] sofa" when she realised Harry had opened up about his first sexual experience in his book.

She admitted how she always feared the story would come out but was in "disbelief he went into so much detail because then it’s obvious who it was, so for me that was like a huge thing. Suddenly I was like, oh no, everyone is going to know and then the next day all the messages started."
