Prince Harry and I downed ten shots before we went for a passionate romp in a field – we haven’t spoken since
THE mum of two who had sex with virgin Prince Harry behind a pub has spoken for the first time — and revealed how the pair enjoyed a five-minute romp.
Sasha Walpole, 40, admitted the booze-fuelled sex came after the pair downed ten shots of tequila, Baileys and sambuca.
Harry, who at 38 is just two years younger, sparked a worldwide guessing game after his memoir Spare disclosed that he had first had sex with an older lover. He wrote that he was aged 17.
Sasha said: “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.
“One thing just quickly led to another. We ended up on the floor.”
The one-off encounter took place in a meadow behind the car park of the historic Vine Tree Inn in Norton, Wiltshire, in July 2001.
At the time Harry was just 16 — a year younger than his autobiography claims.
Harry and Sasha, who now works as a digger driver, knew each other from when she worked as a stable girl at Highgrove, the country retreat of King Charles, and previously enjoyed trips to polo matches together.
The pair had sex after leaving a party held at the pub to mark Sasha’s 19th birthday.
On the day of their liaison Harry had visited Thorpe Park in Surrey with pals before returning to the pub that night.
Meanwhile, Sasha had completed a shift at a knicker factory after her Highgrove contract had ended.
During the evening, she told him she was upset about splitting from her first proper boyfriend. But later that night her ex turned up at the pub with his new girlfriend.
Sasha said: “Harry was a friend and knew I was gutted and upset. So when the girlfriend rocked up, he knew how I was feeling.
“He didn’t give me a hug — instead he brought me shots. He brought me some shots to kind of say, ‘Come on, let’s lift the mood’.
“I didn’t see him go to the bar but he came up to me and said, ‘Happy birthday — let’s do some drinks’ not long after this girl got there.
“There were about five each — a tequila, a Baileys, sambuca, a mixture — on a black bar tray.
“And we downed them between us. Shot by shot.”
Following their romp Sasha never saw or spoke to Harry again.
She said: “Harry and I never texted or rang each other after that. I didn’t mind. I wasn’t embarrassed.
“Was I disappointed he didn’t ring? No. It was circumstances, we weren’t going out, we didn’t need to ring each other.”
