I think this whole thing is uncomfortable. Harry’s description comes across as he is being used and it is inglorious and almost tacky.

In Sasha’s account (yes, I know they are friends etc) but she was so young (19 is young) her boyfriend had broken up with her, she was really sad, Harry bought her lots of shots, got her drunk, had sex with her in a field without protection and never checked in on her after. How did he know that she wasn’t pregnant?

If my son ever treats a girl like that (only 13 still) I will beyond cross with him.

It has to be part of his narrative as a victim. Always.

Oh, and the bit about ghosting. She's a stable girl working for the bloody Prince of Wales and he's the son of the Prince of Wales and also a prince. It's supposedly a friendship but the power imbalance is too great. She was hardly in a position keep up contact. If a squire in a Victorian novel had done this to one of the maids, I know what we'd all be thinking.

Victim or a kind of puerile, immature view.

And if they became too much of a nag he cut their head off though that would be frowned upon these days I expect.

Exactly. It saved him the effort of staring into his pints of mead complaining about his Trouble 'n' Strife.

I still find her passivity and resignation quite odd. Give the prince what he wants without any expectations of it developing into something meaningful.

She is a lady. She was discreet for 20 plus years and only spoke when backed into a corner. And she spoke with dignity and respect. Unlike Harry.

Christ on a bike. If my early shags wrote about it in a stupid book I would be hopping mad. And probably a very great deal less gracious than Sasha.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 11:35

There's also a thing a certain kind of man does of 'losing his virginity' more than once with various women. So it wouldn't surprise me if than one woman along the way thinks she was his first time (re: R E).

However since this has come from the horse's own mouth (har har) I'm thinking it's likely to be true. Although having said that, I don't know if Baz would recognise the truth if it bit him on his arse!

However her story corroborates his so I do believe her.

Plitvice · 05/02/2023 11:35

I also found it uncomfortable that she said that they could go out for a pint if they ever ran into one another. She knows that that would never happen for so many reasons even if they were in the same place at the same time. It is that self-subordination that gives me the ick.

Completely agree!

You mean her pragmatism and her understanding of/acceptance of the reality of things?

LindorDoubleChoc · 05/02/2023 11:37

@windinthetree - do you really not believe her? that's a bit desperate isn't it?

It is not like he went on to marry a princess. The difference between Sasha and his wife is that one believed in herself and massively dreamed her way up and the other settled to be seen as a notch on his bedpost.

Plitvice · 05/02/2023 11:40

Also, different stage of life and all that...

Ridemeginger · 05/02/2023 11:40

To be fair to Sasha, she doesn't speak as if there was a big power imbalance between them or that they are anything other than friends and equals. She says as much in the article. A woman of less integrity, really looking to cash in, would have done a DM Sad Face narrative about being taken advantage of by a prince and discarded. She doesn't do that.

I do agree that his failure to check up on her afterwards reflects badly on him, but teenage boys who've never had to take responsibility for anything can be like this. My ex piped up one day, many years into our relationship, that he'd lost his virginity and got the girl pregnant while still at school, and had no idea what happened to her or whether she went ahead and had the baby. Absolutely shocking, but he was the type to never own a single thing he ever did - he had a similar victim narrative, despite having a privileged upbringing. His parents were horrible though, so that was always his default, victimhood. She was also a couple of years older than him, so he deemed the episode to be her fault. Both my ex and Harry were grown ups with responsibilities when recounting their respective encounters - arrested development, man children both.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 11:41

Nah. They were young, it's not the same situation at all as with Meg. She was perfectly alright to have a little teenage play with a prince and then go on her way! He was a friend, not a love interest.

Maybe she didn’t want anything meaningful.

I suppose it was just a one night stand between teenagers. I don't think he will be mounting her digger for old time's sake so a non event really.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 11:45

Yes quite. Not many women/men do want full-on meaningful relationships in their teens.

And equating sex with automatic subservience is extremely un-feminist.

What? I can't make much sense of this.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 11:51

That's because it's quite nonsensical.

And Harry really is no prize as far as I'm concerned.

I agree he is no prize.

Plitvice · 05/02/2023 11:58

There was definitely a huge power imbalance which she is in obvious denial about. It could never not have been there.

Samcro · 05/02/2023 11:58

no doubt she will be on big brother or Im a celeb.

Might've been in one actually very narrow respect. However it's highly likely she would have been quite markedly more emotionally mature than him, and perfectly capable of drunkenly deciding it might be fun to have a bit of a fumble and no harm done, didn't need to go anywhere after that.

Women do not have to be cast in the victim role every single time.

I'm curious about those who think she's going to exploit the situation. Why would she be on a reality TV program? For 20+ years she's kept a dignified silence. If she wanted to use her connection to Harry to make money then she would have done so years ago.
