Prince Harry’s book Spare became an instant hit when it was released on January 10. Over a month later, it’s clear that the fallout from the book hasn’t helped mend his relationship with the British Royal Family. In fact, the rift between Harry and his family may be worse than before.
One part of the book that grabbed attention was Harry’s detailed account of how he lost his virginity. He revealed that at 17, he had an experience with an “older woman” in a field behind a pub. The identity of the woman wasn’t revealed initially, and this led to much speculation in the media.
Recently, Sasha Walpole came forward to identify herself as the woman involved. In an interview, she gave her side of the story, revealing that the night was not as romantic as Harry had described. According to Sasha, they were both drunk, having tequila and sambuca to celebrate her birthday. The two were friends who climbed over a fence to the field, where things happened quickly.
Sasha explained that after their encounter, they went their separate ways. She wasn’t embarrassed by it, and they never kept in touch afterward. She also reflected on how people at the pub noticed her appearance after the event, laughing because she seemed disheveled.
While she didn’t mind Harry sharing the experience in his book, Sasha found it uncomfortable. She questioned why he went into so much detail, especially about the slap on his backside. She said if Harry hadn’t written about it, she would have kept the memory to herself.
Sasha’s parents, while supportive, have expressed concern for her safety following the media attention. She has kept a low profile, but now, due to Harry’s book, she’s been forced into the spotlight.
