Virginia Giuffre claimed Prince Andrew was "entitled" and believed having sex with her was his "birthright" in a posthumous memoir being published six months after her death by suicide. The explosive 400-page autobiography reveals disturbing new allegations about the Duke of York's alleged encounters with the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking victim when she was 17.
The book, titled "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice", was completed before Giuffre took her own life at age 41 at her farm in Australia. According to the memoir, Prince Andrew allegedly said "thank you" in a "clipped British accent" after their encounter, while Ghislaine Maxwell praised Giuffre afterwards, saying "You did well, the Prince had fun".
Detailed allegations emerge
Giuffre describes her first alleged meeting with Prince Andrew on 10 March 2001, following a flight from Morocco to London with Epstein and Maxwell. She claims Maxwell helped select her outfit at the socialite's Belgravia townhouse and asked Prince Andrew to guess the teenager's age, which he allegedly correctly identified as 17.
Metro reports that Giuffre completed the manuscript just 25 days before her death, with explicit instructions for posthumous publication. The memoir also details how she first met Maxwell at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in summer 2000, where her father worked in maintenance and secured her a job as a locker room attendant.
Royal settlement and denials
Prince Andrew settled Giuffre's civil lawsuit out of court in February 2022 for a reported £12 million while vehemently denying all allegations of wrongdoing. The settlement came more than 20 years after the alleged encounters, but the Duke has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings.
The memoir contains what publishers Alfred A Knopf describe as "intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details" about Giuffre's time with the Epstein trafficking network. This marks the first time she has spoken publicly about Prince Andrew since their out-of-court settlement.
Trafficking network details
Only The Guardian reports additional allegations in the memoir describing an orgy on Epstein's Little Saint James island involving Prince Andrew and approximately eight other girls who "appeared to be under 18". The memoir chronicles Giuffre's years as a victim of the trafficking operation run by paedophile financier Epstein and his accomplice Maxwell.
Giuffre's tragic story began with childhood sexual abuse in California, leading to time as a runaway and in foster care before being trafficked at 14. Her advocacy work for trafficking victims continued until her death, with Maxwell now serving a 20-year sentence for her role in the operation.
