Mystery 'older' woman who took Prince Harry's virginity speaks out

The 'older' woman who took Prince Harry's virginity after the royal detailed the raunchy rendezvous in his new tell-all memoir Spare has spoken out.

In his book, the Duke of Sussex said he lost his virginity "to a beautiful older woman in the countryside" behind a pub.

"She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion," he wrote. "Quick ride, after which she’d smacked my rump and sent me to graze.

"Among the many things about it that were wrong. It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub."

While the royal did not identify the mysterious older woman, Sasha Walpole, 40, has revealed she was involved in the tryst in July 2001.

She had been celebrating her 19th birthday at the pub when she and Harry, then 16 going on 17, snuck off for 15 minutes.

“I am the woman who took Harry’s virginity. It was ­literally wham-bam between two friends. The sex was passionate and sparky because we shouldn’t have been doing it," she told The Sun.

“One thing just quickly led to another. We ended up on the floor.”

She said they were "quite drunk" at the time after downing 10 shots of tequila, sambuca and Baileys.

“We went outside and both climbed a three-bar fence to the field. We were quite drunk at this point," she told The Sun. "I gave Harry a cigarette. I lit mine and then his.

“We finished our cigarettes — Marlboro Lights — and it just happened. He started to kiss me.

“He was wearing boxers. There was no chatting, no words.

“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.”

After Prince Harry detailed the encounter in Spare, rumours were circulating as to who the mystery woman could be.

Some suggested it was actress Liz Hurley as she had lived in Gloucestershire where a number of royals own property.

The 57-year-old shut down the speculation last year when asked whether she took the young prince's virginity.

"Not me. Not guilty," she said before adding, "No. Not me. Absolutely not".
