Following Prince Harry’s bare-all autobiography ‘Spare’, Sasha Walpole is speaking to Piers Morgan on TalkTV saying that she wished Prince Harry would have spared her a ‘heads-up’ before talking about how he lost his virginity to her.

The Duke of Sussex never named the ‘older’ woman who he detailed took his virginity in a field behind a pub, however Sasha Walpole, a former Highgrove groom came forwards earlier this week to confirm it was her.

The 40-year-old digger driver knew Prince Harry from when she worked on King Charles' country retreat, and told the Sun on Sunday that she was ‘the woman who took Harry’s virginity,’ in July 2001.

Although Harry’s book came out almost a month ago, Sasha Walpole, a mum of two, said she had to reveal her identity as she felt pressured to protect her privacy, with the ‘hunt’ to find out who she is feeling like a ‘ticking time bomb’.

She said: “I would have never spoken out if Harry hadn’t. I’m not that sort of person. If I was going to talk about it, I could have done so a long time ago. He has brought it to my door by writing about it.

"At first I thought I could hide and that it would blow over. But as the names of different women, some of whom I know, became public I realised that to make the speculation stop, I needed to tell the truth.".

Now, Sasha, who described her world as ‘getting a little bit smaller’ since the book was released on 10 January, is speaking to Piers Morgan for a Talk TV interview.

Piers Morgan has made some bombshell interviews as of late, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Rishi Sunak, and the former Good Morning Britain presenter has shared clips of his upcoming chat with Sasha Walpole.

Talking about Sasha and Harry’s one-time sexual encounter, Piers Morgan suggested that Sasha will get to tell her truth after keeping the night a secret for over 21 years.

In a teaser clip, Piers asks Sasha whether the Duke of Sussex should have had the manners to tell her about the anecdote featuring in his kiss-and-tell book, to which she replied, ‘he could have given me a heads up.’

Sasha said: “People are asking family and friends, ‘oh yeah we know who it is,’ and then suddenly it’s just the reality of this isn’t going to go away, forever this is going to flare up, until they know it is…yes, I couldn’t have said anything, but it isn’t going away, and this is a means to an end.”

While viewers can watch Sasha give her side of the story on losing her virginity to Prince Harry, they can also expect to see the former groom give her take on Harry and William’s rift, after knowing the pair from her time at Highgrove.

Piers Morgan asks Sasha what she would say to the royal brothers if she saw them now among other questions, some of which have been branded ‘obsessive’ and ‘vile’, when mentioning if Harry had ‘traded up’ with Meghan Markle.

Twitter users took to social media to share their horror about Piers’ line of questioning, specifically expressing why he had to bring Meghan into the discussion when she wasn’t a part of the event.
