Prince Harry is really revealing his true colors these days.

He mentioned the details of his first sexual encounter, causing embarrassment to the woman who had kept it quiet for decades. She actually sheltered his privacy.

Given the slew of paparazzi that constantly follows the British monarchy, the lady in question, Sasha Walpole, could have sold her story to the press long ago, making some money and getting her 10 minutes of fame.

However, she showed she really was a lady by keeping the secret until Prince Loose-Lips decided to tell all. At that point, she felt she had to tell the story in her own words.

According to her, she was a horse groomer at the time and the princes were avid polo players, which is how they became friends. And, according to her, that’s all it was — a friendship. There was never any romance between them. They had been drinking with several friends prior to the drunken encounter in a field behind the pub.

She told her mother after the encounter, but hadn’t told her dad. However, she felt, once Prince Harry revealed “cringey” details in his memoir, she had to come out because she feared her father getting the wrong impression.
