Prince Harry's strange childhood nickname revealed in sweet note to first lover

Prince Harry is known by many titles but thanks to a former lover, a unique name he went by as a teenager has been revealed.

Sasha Walpole, who claims she took Harry 's virginity over 20 years ago, appeared on Piers Morgan 's TalkTV show on Thursday night and shared some memories from her time with the Duke of Sussex.

Alongside going into detail about her brief sexual encounter with Harry as a teenager, Sasha told the former Good Morning Britain anchor about her friendship with the dad-of-two prior to the pair having sex outside a pub.

"He was lovely, you know, fun, sparky, he was just one of the boys. He was a lad. He was good fun to be around," she recalled to Piers.

Sasha then recalled the night she and Harry took their friendship to a new level outside a pub, where the pair had gathered with others to celebrate Sasha's upcoming birthday.

In addition to revealing how security were looking for Harry during their five minute outdoor sex session, Sasha showed the sweet birthday card the dad-of-two penned for his pal.

Piers read the card's message out, which was: "Dear Sash, Have a very happy birthday and don't get too f*****.

"Luckily I'll be there to keep an eye on you."

How Harry signed the card then revealed an unusual nickname the former working royal gave himself back in the day.

"Lots of love, Baz," Piers read out on air.

"Why did he call himself Baz?" Piers asked Sasha.

She mused: "I've have no idea but he always used to sign off in different ways."

Sasha appeared on Piers' TalkTV show after coming forward and revealing herself as the 'older woman' who took Harry's virginity all those years ago.

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 Walpole has since voluntarily identified herself as the woman Harry briefly wrote about in his bestselling memoir Spare.

Her interview with Piers sparked a debate about privacy as the segment aired on Thursday night.

"In a global TV exclusive, the woman who took Prince Harry ’s virginity in a field behind a village pub gives me HER truth after he invaded her privacy in his kiss-and-tell book," Piers captioned a snap of himself next to Sasha in order to promote the broadcast earlier in the day.

"Except he didn’t invade her privacy?! He didn’t mention the name, she’s done out herself with her story for the cash," one Twitter user pointed out.

"Nope piers this is sad," another added, as a third asked: "Why has he invaded her privacy when he never named her?"

After the interview aired, one happy viewer tweeted: "Such a great interview, seems like a lovely lady who could keep her mouth shut for 20 years. Loyalty is a cool thing. Good luck to her in the future."

Another added: "What a straight talking honest young woman with exactly the right approach to dealing with the kind of crap H has left her to deal with on her own. Great interview Piers."
