Prince Harry's older lover 'didn't know' he was a virgin before their tryst

By Jo Abi|

Prince Harry's older lover who reportedly took his virginity, has identified herself as Sasha Walpole in an exclusive interview with The Sun in the UK.?

Walpole told the publication she "didn't know" Harry was a virgin ahead of their tryst when he was 17.

"I didn't know Harry was a virgin at the time," she said. "It wasn't until probably the next morning when I actually thought about it?. I was a bit, 'Oh no.' Not 'cause of him being a prince, it was just the fact that I'd slept with one of my friends and it was Harry... but then it kind of dawned on me that perhaps he was because he'd never really had a girlfriend that I knew of back then.

"It was just a quickie in the field and yeah, I had no idea."

Before their encounter, Harry penned a birthday card to Walpole which read: ?"Dear Sash, Have a very happy birthday and don't get too pissed! Luckily I'll be there to keep an eye on you. Loads of love xx. Thanks for everything."

This came along with a Miss Piggy toy, both the card and gift further endearing her friend to her.

"He gave me a card, with a joke about a farting whale on the front," she continued. He had signed the card "Baz" which was a name he had used at the time and the nickname some of his friends had for him.

"He never signed off with his real name, even on a text it would be H," she added.

Following their tryst ?she received a note from Harry.

"He said: 'Thanks for everything' จC it wasn't for anything specific, but he could have been referring to my work at Highgrove House."

She spoke of her time spent with the royal and friends in the world of horses, polo and racing.?

"Everyone was equal in the world of horses. It was a mixed bunch of polo players, grooms, hunt staff. You have racing people, the whole shebang," she explained. "It was all about the horses. It didn't matter if you're a groom, a rider or a prince, nobody was bigger than anybody else."

"Harry didn't act like a prince," Walpole continued. "There was no snobbery or hierarchy, it was just mates talking about horse events."

?Prince Harry first revealed he lost his virginity to an "older woman" at the age of 17 in his best-selling memoir Spare.

He described the experience as an "inglorious episode, with an older woman."

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

While much has been made of the fact Harry lost his virginity to an "older woman" we now know Walpole, 40, is only two years older than Harry who is now 38.?
