A woman has come forward claiming to be the "older woman" who took Prince Harry's virginity, saying it was an unexpected five-minute of being "a little bit naughty".
Sasha Walpole said she and the Prince had sex in a field after celebrating her 19th birthday at a pub in Wiltshire in 2001. The 40-year-old former stable worker at King Charles' Highgrove said the sex was "passionate and sparky" but between two friends.
It's after the Prince opened up on how he lost his virginity in his memoir, Spare, revealing he had a brief encounter in a field behind a pub aged 17, reports The Mirror. Ms Walpole said the tryst actually happened in the summer of 2001, which would put him at 16 years old.

“I am the woman who took Harry’s virginity," she told The Sun on Sunday. "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.”
Ms Walpole claims the pair had downed several shots of tequila at the time, with Prince Harry's security team out looking for him while they canoodled. She said that the two of them had been drinking at the Vine Tree Inn in Norton, Wiltshire, celebrating her 19th birthday when they snuck off into a field behind the historic pub's car park for a cigarette.
“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.”
Ms Walpole added: “We didn’t set out to do it and it wasn’t pre-meditated. He was young.
"We had been purely friends and it was a little bit naughty, in the sense that it shouldn’t have been happening.
Now aged 40 and a married mum-of-two, Ms Walpole is just over two years older than the 38-year-old Prince. On the experience, she describes only seeing him as her friend rather than third in line to the throne, saying something just got "a little bit out of control".
“No one warned me about the night being included in the book - and Harry, or his people, could have found me to tell me if they had wanted to do so. I lead a peaceful life — I didn’t invite this.”
