I Feel Exposed, Says Woman Claiming To Be Prince Harry’s First Sexual Partner
A 40-year-old woman, Sarah Walpole, who claimed that she was the one that Prince Harry mentioned as the older woman he lost his virginity to in his memoir, Spare, has said that the British royal need not have described the details of their sexual encounter.
In an exclusive interview with UK’s Daily Mail on Sunday, Walpole said that her privacy was intruded on by the prince with his recount of their teenage sexual relations.
Speaking with the UK news outlet, she said, “I kept this a secret for 21 years. I did it because Harry was a friend, regardless of whether he’s a Prince or not. I didn’t invite any of this attention, but I know the hunt would have kept going until people found me. I don’t understand why he went into such detail. He could have said he lost his virginity and left it at that. But he described how it happened – in a field behind a pub.
“That’s fine if you’re not the other person involved. But if you’re me, then you suddenly feel as if your world is getting a little bit smaller.”
She added that Harry could have found a way to reach out to her since he was going to write about her even anonymously.
“It is his story, and he’s entitled to write what he wants. He didn’t name me but people who were there that night, or simply part of that social circle, would be able to work out it was me. Possibly, Harry could have thought about that before publishing. He could have found me if he had tried.”
Walpole, who makes a living from driving diggers is now married with two children.
