The woman who deflowered Prince Harry revealed how the young stallion prince “made the move” behind a British pub before ghosting after doing the “mega awkward” deed.

In her first television interview, Sasha Walpole told Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV that Prince Harry was no longer the teen boy she once knew and joked he traded down to “gold digger” Meghan Markle.

“He made the move. Yeah, I don’t even really know why or what happened,” Walpole said, explaining that the pair went outside after doing shots of Baileys, whiskey and Sambuca.

“We were just having a cigarette and before you know it was all happening … He started kissing me and then before you know it, it was all going on.”

The Duke of Sussex, who is two years younger than Ms Walpole, revealed the encounter in Spare, which he described as “inglorious” and Ms Walpole agreed.

She said she didn’t know he was a virgin until the next day, when it became “apparent it was his first [time]”. She agreed that the “entire collision” lasted five minutes, which Morgan joked wasn’t bad, given the circumstances.

The next day, Prince Harry gave her a card and a soft toy Miss Piggy he had won at Thorpe Park.

“There was no messaging, there was nothing,” she said of their friendship after “crossing the line,” adding Prince Harry might have felt “mega awkward”.

“The thing wrong about it was we were two friends and it should never have happened. We crossed the line, it was never intentional there was nothing before, nothing after,” she said.

“There is nothing glorious about being drunk and then copping off with one of your mates, in a field.”

After the quick ride, Ms Walpole smacked his rump and sent the young stallion to grace, as Prince Harry described it in Spare.

Ms Walpole said the two went their separate ways and Prince Harry’s security, who had been in the car park, went looking for the new man in the fields behind the pub.

After returning to the group of friends, Ms Walpole said her friends giggled but kept calm.

“Everyone was a bit like, keep quiet and carry on,” she said.

The encounter was kept quiet for 21 years until the tryst was revealed in Prince Harry’s memoir, which Ms Walpole said was hypocritical given his repeated pleas to be left alone by the world’s media.

“If you want to live a private life and you want to get out of the limelight and leave the Royal family, or whether to live your life as you want to live it, to then sell a book and go on Netflix is kind of going against what you’re saying you want,” she said.

Looking back on Prince Harry, Ms Walpole said she remembers their teenage years fondly, adding that the young royal grew up in a world without camera phones.

“He was lovely, you know, fun, sparky, he was just one of the boys. He was a lad. He was good fun to be around,” she said.

Ms Walpole said she was “on the fence” about her former lover’s new wife, Meghan Markle.

“I don’t know the lady. I wish him all the best. I wish him the happiest,” she said, before adding that he is “not the boy that I remember”.

“But again, I am not in his shoes. I have no idea what’s going on in his head. I haven’t seen him for 21 years, but you know, you make your own happiness”.

Asked whether Prince Harry was still happy or if he had traded up or down, Ms Walpole joked “definitely down”, with a laugh. “Perhaps I should take him a tray of shots and just talk it over,” she said.
