Prince Harry should have told me before spilling sex story in book, fumes 'older lover'

Prince Harry's 'older lover' has said that the Duke of Sussex "could have given her a heads up" that he was going to speak about their tryst in his memoir.

In his book Spare, Harry recalls the moment he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a busy pub, sparking worldwide speculation about her identity.

Digger driver Sasha Walpole has since confirmed that she was the one who had sex with Harry after celebrating her 19th birthday at a pub in Wiltshire in 2001.

She had kept their passionate romp a secret for 21 years, but spoke out in an interview with Piers Morgan as she said that speculation would "never stop" over the incident.

Sasha had been just two years older than Harry at the time when she had invited him - then a 17-year-old Eton schoolboy - to celebrate her 19th birthday at the pub.

She said that they had had a two-and-a-half year friendship prior to then, but never spoke again after their field tryst.

Speaking on TalkTV, she said: "People are asking, family and friends. We know who it is, and then suddenly it's just a reality of 'This isn't going to go away'

"Forever this is going to flare up. Until they know who it is, they're going to be questioning people.

"And yes I could not have said anything but then it's never going to stop."

She continued: "He could have given me the heads up that you know, 'I'm going to put it in the book'."

It comes after viewers slammed Piers' question to her about Meghan, in which he asked: "Would you agree it was inglorious then? Did you know as you were in flagrante in the field that he was a virgin? Do you think he should have had the manners to let you know? What do you think of Meghan Markle?

"Do you think he has traded up from you or down? If Prince Harry is watching this what would you say to him? This is a guy who's sixth in line, or fifth in line to the throne of this country, talking about losing his virginity to you."

Viewers were horrified by the former Good Morning Britain presenter's choice of questions and the fact he brought Meghan up when discussing an incident she wasn't involved in.

"That's low even for you Piers," one unimpressed viewer told the star on Wednesday night.

"Didn't think you could stoop any lower.. I was wrong," another added, as a third declared: "Here we go again...his obsession...Meghan!"

One Twitter user joked: "Piers Morgan interviewing the person who Harry lost his virginity to is beyond peak Alan Partridge."
