The "older woman" Prince Harry described losing his virginity to has come forward and spoken out about the young royal's first time.

Last month, Prince Harry shocked the world with the release of his very candid biography, titled Spare (named after the nickname given to the sibling of a future monarch).

Despite the 38-year-old retiring as a senior royal and moving to the US with his wife Meghan Markle, audiences were amazed by the in-depth nature of Prince Harry's book - especially considering how private the Royal Family had remained for centuries.

In the book, the prince talks about his time in the UK military, his regrets over watching Markle's Suits sex scenes, and even claims that he was physically attacked by his older brother, Prince William, following an argument at his cottage.

And if all of that wasn't enough, he also wrote about the time he lost his virginity to "a beautiful older woman in the countryside" - which turned out to be around the back of the UK pub.

While some have speculated about who the older woman could have been (with some even throwing Elizabeth Hurley into the mix), the woman who Harry says treated him "not unlike a young stallion" has now come forward.

Sasha Walpole - who is just two years older than Harry - has now told the Daily Mail: "I've kept this a secret for 21 years... I wouldn't have said anything if he hadn't have put it in his book."

The 40-year-old mom-of-two revealed that the "spontaneous and sparky" incident took place in a field behind The Vine Tree pub in the Wiltshire village of Norton.

Walpole - who is now a digger driver by profession - says she invited the then-16-year-old Harry to the pub to celebrate her 19th birthday. She claims that after the pair downed five shots each (all bought by Harry), they were very drunk as last orders were called at the bar.

Prince Harry then asked Walpole if she wanted to go outside for a cigarette - but the pair ended up climbing over a fence and into a field.

"He started to kiss me,' Walpole says. "It was passionate, intense. We both knew. It went from a kiss on to the floor pretty quickly."

She continued: "It was instant, fiery, wham bam, between two friends.

"It was sparky because we shouldn't have been doing it. He wasn't 'Prince Harry' to me, this was Harry, my friend, and the situation had got a little bit out of control. It felt naughty, I suppose, in the sense that it shouldn't be happening."

Despite not being gone for too long, Walpole says that Harry's disappearance led to his security detail having to borrow a Ford Fiesta in order to drive around and look for him.

Walpole stressed that it certainly wasn't premeditated and that it would never have happened if they weren't drunk. And despite it being Harry's first time, she says there were no "virgin vibes" and that "he seemed to know what he was doing".
