The woman in question reportedly identified herself after Harry's revelationsPrince Harry hit headlines back in 2023 when his memoir Spare recounted the tale of how he lost his virginity.

Prince Harry on losing his virginity to ‘older woman’
In his tell-all memoir, Harry didn’t hold back from sharing intimate details about his life. As well as discussing his past drug use when he was much younger, he also opened up about when he lost his virginity.
Recalling the moment in his book, Harry said that one of the royal family’s bodyguards, Marko (aka Mark Dyer), paid him a visit when he was studying at Eton College. He reportedly told the prince he had been sent to “find out the truth”.
Harry wrote: “I suspected he was referring to my recent loss of virginity, a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion.
“I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away.
“One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us.”
Harry didn’t reveal the identity of the woman. However, Sasha Walpole has since claimed that she was the mystery woman.

The ‘real woman’ speaks out
Speaking to The Sun in 2023, Sasha, a former groom at Highgrove, claimed she was the woman Harry lost his virginity to.
Sasha, who is a couple of years older than Harry, 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,” she then added.
“We didn’t set out to do it and it wasn’t pre-meditated. He was young. He was young. We had been purely friends and it was a little bit naughty, in the sense that it shouldn’t have been happening.”
She admitted that she had slapped his bum after, describing it as “peachy”. She then said that they never spoke again after the encounter, though she wasn’t “disappointed”.
