The 'older women' rumoured to have been in the frame before Sasha Walpole ... trends now
The identity of the mystery horse-lover who had 'passionate' five-minute sex session with Prince Harry was revealed yesterday.
In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry detailed how he lost his virginity when discussing how a royal aide had paid him a visit to discuss a potential scandal.
The royal claimed he 'mounted' his mystery lover, an older horse-loving woman, behind a busy pub – thought to be the Rattlebone Inn in Wiltshire.
'I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my a** and sent me away. One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us.'
And yesterday, the mystery horse-lover was revealed to be digger driver Sasha Walpole, 40, who had known the Prince since her days as a groom at the future King Charles' Gloucestershire estate, Highgrove.
Mother-of-two Sasha Walpole (pictured with her digger) claims Harry kissed her after asking her if she wanted to go outside for a cigarette during her 19th birthday party back in 2001

The mother-of-two said: 'We didn't set out to do it – it wasn't premeditated and I didn't know he was a virgin. There were no virgin vibes – he seemed to know what he was doing.
'It was quick, wild, exciting. We were both drunk. It wouldn't have happened if we weren't.'
Harry's surprising account fuelled feverish rumours over who the mystery woman could be.

Catherine Ommanney, 51Rumours circulated that interior designer Catherine Ommanney, 51, was the horse-loving woman who 'spanked' Prince Harry after taking his virginity.
Ms Ommanney dated Harry when she was 34 and he was 21.
She denied being the woman in question, adding that he was 'clearly' an experienced lover by the time they got together in 2006.
His former lover said that she hated horses and she was 'definitely not that girl in the field'.
The British reality star, who hit the small screen when she appeared in American reality TV show The Real Housewives of DC, met the prince in a bar in Chelsea in 2006, during which time he was in a long-term on-off relationship with socialite Chelsy Davy.
She says that after meeting in a bar, the pair then went to Eclipse nightclub in South Kensington together, before heading to one of his friend's houses.
Catherine Ommanney said she did not believe she would be featured in Prince Harry's biography

In January, Ms Ommanney said the Duke of Sussex 'needed an older' woman but 'doesn't know what he's found in Meghan'.
She told Good Morning Britain: 'We met at a dinner party and we had mutual friends in Australia we stayed with - that's how we started talking.
'He was surrounded by 20-year-olds.... I listened to him a lot, and I think that's what he needed.
'I'm not going to slander Meghan because I think she's done a good enough job of it herself.
'I don't know what he's found in Meghan... I'm really sad for him, I'm sad for the whole Royal Family because I don't think he's going to recover from this very quickly.'
