Prince Harry’s first lover has opened up about the “shock” she felt after he detailed their intimate encounter in his book, Spare.

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told 6PR Breakfast 'Sasha Walpole' is the woman who has gone public as the 'older woman.'

"She was two years older than him...it was a 19th birthday. I think most of us when he talked about this older woman who took advantage of him, were thinking like a Maggie Smith - but no she was a friend," Peter Ford said.
