Meghan Markle branded a 'gold digger and downgrade' as Piers Morgan grills Harry's ex lover

Piers Morgan has labelled the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle as "a gold digger" as he laughed alongside Prince Harry's alleged first lover Sasha Walpole.

In an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Sasha revealed the details behind her romp with the Prince as she came forward to claim she is the woman referred to in his memoir 'Spare'.

In his recent book, Harry described how as a 17-year-old student at Eton, he lost his virginity to an "older woman" in a field behind a "very busy pub".

Piers, 57, quizzed the former stables worker over her rendezvous with the young royal for his TV show. He also laughed as he exclaimed: "He's gone from a digger to a gold digger!"

Sasha laughed back: "Yep, you could put it like that."

The comment joked as Sasha, 40, no longer works in the equine industry, as she worked in the royal stables when she met Harry, but is now a digger driver by profession.

Whilst discussing the details of the romp, Piers questioned digger driver Sasha over whether the Prince had "traded down" since their romance, with a pointed inference towards Meghan Markle.

He asked Sasha: "Do you think he's traded up from you or down?"

To which, Sasha replied: "Definitely down!"

She later appeared to recant as she said: "I don't know."

Piers also added that Sasha and Meghan "share a lot in common" with the same nickname for the royal Prince. Both Sasha and Meghan affectionally refer to Harry as "H".

In another part of the tell-all interview, Piers asked Sasha if she thought Prince Harry is happy now he's exited the royal family and living in the US. Sasha responded: "He's not the boy I remember, that's for sure. But again I'm not in his shoes, I have no idea what's going on in his head. I haven't seen him for 21 years."

Sasha also revealed that she had no idea details of her tryst with Harry would be made public, as she claimed wished the dad-of-two had given her a heads up about the book admission.

In his memoir, Harry referred to the encounter as "a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion".

Dismissing any notion of the event being romantic, Sasha revealed: "The thing wrong about it was we were two friends and it should never have happened. We crossed the line, it was never intentional there was nothing before, nothing after.

"I mean inglorious? It’s not really that glorious sleeping with someone in a field behind a pub when you are drunk.

“There is nothing glorious about being drunk and then copping off with one of your mates, in a field."
