Sasha Walpole, the Briton who was famously outed as the woman who took Prince Harry’s virginity when he was 17, is auctioning a present the royal gave her.
The 40-year-old is auctioning a Miss Piggy doll that Harry gave her on eBay to raise money for victims of the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria.
The porcine Muppet is dressed in a tropical outfit and is reportedly stuffed with tissue paper that Harry (38) put in its bra.
Bidding has already shot past $2 000 (around R36 350).
In the listing, Sasha, who works as a digger driver, describes the doll as “a colourful piece of royal history”.

“I hope this colourful piece of royal memorabilia will prove a great talking point for whoever wins and will make a contribution to relieving the disaster in Turkey and Syria – a much more important issue than princes and their lovers,” she wrote in the listing.
Harry reportedly won the prize at Thorpe Park Resort, an amusement park in Surrey, and gave it to Sasha on her 19th birthday, with a card that said, “Loads of love, Baz” – his nickname at the time.
In his tell-all memoir, Spare, he revealed that he lost his virginity to an older woman behind a busy pub in England.
“She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion. Quick ride, after which she'd smacked my rump and sent me off to graze.”
Sasha says she was "moved by the devastation of the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria to auction this cheeky piece of royal history”, and said the proceeds will go to the Disaster Emergency Committee.
The card is not being auctioned.
Sasha says she wanted to help with relief efforts shortly after her story with Harry went public.
“The earthquake happened the day after my story came out and I remember thinking how much more important this was than who had or hadn’t slept with a prince,” she told the Daily Mail.
She says the doll has been in her attic for the past 20 years, and “hopefully someone can give her a new lease on life”.
