King Charles’s former stable girl kept her romp with her boss’s son a secret for 21 years before finally confessing to her dad.
Sasha Walpole, 40, told how she confided in her mother, Lyn Alvis, 63, and her sister hours after the July 2001 tryst in a field behind a pub near the monarch’s Highgrove home.
But mum-of-two Sasha has only recently confessed to sleeping with the Prince to her dad, Tony, 71, after the Duke of Sussex detailed the encounter in his book, Spare.
The controversial memoir was written after Harry and wife Meghan quit the Royal Family and settled in California. Sasha said she was in “this situation because Harry has put it out there” and it’s “something your parents probably should never read.”
Although her mother and sister were “OK” with what happened at the time, she said her father hadn’t listened “because he didn’t want to hear what his teenage daughter was doing”.
Sasha said that her family never spoke about the incident again until Harry, 38, published his memoir last month.
She was disappointed he went into detail, adding that he could have said he lost his virginity and “left it at that”.
In his book, the Prince detailed losing his virginity to an “older woman”.
He said: “She liked horses quite a lot and treated me not unlike a young stallion. Quick ride, after which she smacked my rump...”
When Spare came out, Sasha asked her father whether she should speak out.
Mr Alvis was forced to read it. She added: “It is awkward because of what Harry wrote about me slapping his bum, really cringey.”
Sasha said that she had been on the pill when she had the drunken one-off with the Prince, after celebrating her 19th birthday at The Vine Tree pub in Norton, Wilts.
She said that the encounter was “passionate and sparky”, that she had no contact with Harry after and that she wished him “all the best”.
