IN Fire, Prince Harry mentioned names and surnames, which caused him more than one problem and, possibly, an irreparable break with his birth family. There is a character in the memoir who, however, enjoys anonymity, perhaps due to the intimate and personal nature of the episode in which he is the protagonist. The “old woman” with whom the Duke lost his virginity in the back of the pub., the one that quoted “he loved horses” and made him feel like a “young stallion”. The media began to speculate as to who it could be. Lady Diana’s son’s first mistress make a huge hole in the water. Nobody thought about it Sasha Walpole could be Harry’s First Ladya girl who in the early 2000s worked as a groom at Highgrove, the estate of King Charles III in Gloucestershire.

It is Walpole, now 40, married with two children, who speaks to Sun revealing his identity: according to him, he decided to speak in order to anticipate the press and for fear of finding “photographers at the door of the house” (even if many people think that he did it only for economic gain). IN FireHarry talks about his first time with an older woman (Sasha is actually only two years older than the prince) what he calls “the infamous episode” happened drunk in the back of the pub. An episode that lasted “several minutes” and did not have a romantic sequel.

Sasha Walpole talking to tabloids confirms across the board, going back in time to its 19th birthday in July 2001. Harry was 16 years old at the time, studying at Eton and was among the guests at a party hosted by a young lady at the Vine Tree pub in the village of Norton in Wiltshire. . I’m so familiar with it he gives her a soft toy Miss Piggy, accompanied by a funny birthday card with a pompous whale joke. Tipsy and elated, they go out to smoke in the field behind the pub when they start kissing. “Harry started kissing me, it was passionate, intense” said the 40-year-old, who now works as a backhoe driver, “we both knew how it would end.” Things “quickly” boil. “It was instant, fiery, bam bam, between two friends, it was not Prince Harry for me. It was Harry, my friend,” Sasha continued, confirming Harry’s story about the “slap” in Fire.

“It wasn’t intentional and I didn’t know he was a virgin. It was fast, wild, exciting. We were both drunk and this would never have happened if we weren’t drunk,” explained Walpole, who, as stated on the daily mailworked for the royal family from September 1999 to April 2001. Did it hurt you that Harry called their date humiliating? Absolutely not. “It didn’t hurt me that Harry called it inglorious, because it really wasn’t all that glorious. We were drunk in the field behind the pub: how could that be nice?” Today she will go for coffee with her former friend, who, however, insists on the invasion of privacy and did not warn her of his presence in the book. “I kept our secret for 21 years. Why couldn’t Harry have warned me what he was going to tell the world?”
