Harry used codename on birthday card for woman who took his virginity
A woman who says she took Prince Harry's virginity in a field behind a busy pub has shared a birthday card the Duke of Sussex gave her, using a codename.
Sasha Walpole spoke out this weekend, saying she is the "older woman" Harry mentioned in his memoir Spare, which was published last month.
The former stable worker at King Charles' Highgrove said the pair, who were pals at the time, had "passionate and sparky" sex which she described as a "wham-bam between two friends".
In his book, Harry spoke candidly about losing his virginity at the age of 17, claiming his lover "liked macho horses" and treated him "like a young stallion".
He wrote that his first sexual encounter ended with his bum being slapped - which Ms Walpole still remembers to this day.

The woman said the Duke gave her a Miss Piggy funfair toy and a birthday card signed "Baz" - a nickname some friends used to address him, alongside "Bazza, Spike, Bazzarooni".
The card, which had a joke about a farting whale in the front, read: "Dear Sash, Have a very happy birthday and don't get too p***ed! Luckily I'll be there to keep an eye on you. Loads of love, Baz xx. PS: Thanks for everything."
Ms Walpole told The Sun on Sunday: "He won a Miss Piggy wearing a tropical outfit, and when he got to the party he gave it to me as a present with the card.
"I noticed that Harry had stuffed Miss Piggy's bra with extra paper to give her boobs a boost."
Ms Walpole, who was celebrating her 19th birthday with her friends at the Vine Tree Inn in Norton, Wiltshire, said Harry also added a tray of ten shots - five each - which saw the pair very drunk by closing time, reports the Mail on Sunday.
After that, Harry and Ms Walpole snuck off into a field behind the historic pub's car park for a cigarette, she said.
The woman said they had sex but it was not planned and it felt "a little bit naughty" as she had a feeling that it shouldn't have been happening.
She added: "It was exciting that it was happening. It was exciting that it was happening like the way it was. We were away for 15 minutes but the sex was about five minutes."
Now aged 40 and a married mum-of-two, Ms Walpole is just over two years older than the 38-year-old Prince.
