“Nobody’s Girl,” a new book from late Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, is shedding light on a shocking cache of allegations against Prince A
A new book is shedding light on a shocking cache of allegations against Prince Andrew.
The memoir “Nobody’s Girl,” to be published Oct. 21 posthumously from Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers, details her encounters with the royal. It comes after a new report alleged Prince Andrew asked police to help him dig up dirt on her after she accused him of sexual abuse.
Reports of the attempted smear and revelations from the book come on the heels of an announcement from Buckingham Palace that Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, will no longer use his royal titles after years of criticism about his behavior and connections to Epstein.
Here’s a look at Giuffre’s accusations against Andrew in the book.
The palace declined to comment further beyond Friday’s statement.
Giuffre recalls Prince Andrew guessing her age
In one excerpt from the book, Giuffre recalls an evening spent with Andrew, then divorced, who joined Epstein and his since-jailed associate Ghislaine Maxwell for dinner.
“Just like Cinderella, I was going to meet a handsome prince!” Giuffre writes, recalling the shopping spree Maxwell took her on before the dinner. “Her old friend Prince Andrew would be dining with us that night, she said, and we had lots to do to get me ready.”
When Andrew arrived, Giuffre claims, Maxwell asked him to guess her age, and he accurately estimated 17.
“‘My daughters are just a little younger than you,’ he told me, explaining his accuracy. As usual, Maxwell was quick with a joke: ‘I guess we will have to trade her in soon,'” Giuffre recalled.
Virginia Giuffre alleges Prince Andrew felt ‘entitled’ to sex, licked her feet
Writing that she was instructed by Maxwell to “do for him what you do for Jeffrey,” Giuffre said Andrew acted as if he was owed sex with her.
“In the years since, I’ve thought a lot about how he behaved,” she wrote. “He was friendly enough, but still entitled—as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” Giuffre then described the encounter, which involved the two sharing a hot bath, then having “intercourse” which lasted “less than half an hour.”
“He was particularly attentive to my feet, caressing my toes and licking my arches,” she alleged.
Virginia Giffre says she felt she ‘had to’ have sex with Prince Andrew, was paid by Epstein
In the aftermath of the incident, Giuffre said Epstein paid her for the encounter.
“Soon, Epstein would give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy’ – a lot of money,” she wrote, adding later: “I hadn’t wanted to have sex with the prince, I said, but I felt I had to. Our livelihoods depended on it, for one thing, but I also truly believed there was no way for me to free myself from Epstein and Maxwell’s grip.”
Virginia Giuffre describes second encounter with Prince Andrew
Detailing another alleged assault by Andrew, Giuffre recalled another visit the prince made to Epstein’s home in 2001.
“As always when the prince was around, Maxwell was being a saucy flirt,” she wrote. Maxwell had purchased a puppet that she thought looked like Andrew as a joke, Giuffre wrote, and when the prince arrived, she brought it out.
“Maxwell put the puppet in my lap, positioning one of its hands on one of my breasts,” she wrote. “The symbolism was impossible to ignore. Johanna and I were Maxwell and Epstein’s puppets, and they were pulling the strings.” Johanna Sjoberg was another of Epstein’s alleged victims.
Virginia Giuffre alleges orgy with Prince Andrew
Recalling her third sexual encounter with Prince Andrew, Giuffre writes that it turned out to be an orgy.
“I don’t know exactly when I had sex with Prince Andrew for the third time, but I do know the location: Little Saint Jeff’s,” she writes, referring to a private island owned by Epstein. “I also know that it was not just the two of us this time; it was an orgy.”
Quoting a deposition she gave in 2015, Giuffre writes: “Epstein, Andy (Prince Andrew), and approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together. The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age of eighteen and didn’t really speak English. Epstein laughed about how they couldn’t really communicate, saying they are the easiest girls to get along with.”
Story behind Virginia Giuffre photo with Prince Andrew, Epstein
Recalling the decision to open up to the press about her experience, Giuffre writes about delivering the photo of her alongside Epstein and Prince Andrew to British journalist Sharon Churcher in early 2011, which later found itself splashed on tabloids.
“I greeted her at my front door with an envelope that I’d stashed in one of our bookcases,” she wrote. “Inside were several snapshots from my time with Epstein and Maxwell. The photo of Prince Andrew with his arm around me was among them.
“Churcher had asked me over the phone to write down what I could remember of my time with Prince Andrew, and I gave those handwritten pages to her when she arrived,” she continued, going on to detail her shock at a tabloid photo that she later saw of Andrew walking with Epstein.
“When Maxwell had first arranged for me to have sex with Prince Andrew in London in 2001, Epstein was still largely concealing his predilection for young girls behind closed doors or on his private island,” she wrote. “But by 2011, everyone knew that Epstein—though he’d gotten off with a light sentence—was a convicted sex offender. Seeing this new photo of Prince Andrew at Epstein’s side made ‘Randy Andy’ seem even more arrogant to me.”
Virginia Giuffre says Prince Andrew hid in response to lawsuit
Detailing her quest for legal reprieve after being “trafficked” by Prince Andrew, Giuffre alleged that in 2020, the royal fled to the monarchy’s hideaway estates in order to avoid accountability.
“Initially, the prince made it difficult for my lawyers to serve him with papers, fleeing to Queen Elizabeth’s Balmoral Castle in Scotland and hiding behind its well-guarded gates,” she wrote. “At the end of September, however, a judge scolded Prince Andrew’s lawyers for engaging in ‘a game of hide and seek behind palace walls,’ and ruled that service could be made through his US-based lawyers.”
Giuffre went on to accuse “Prince Andrew’s camp” of planting a negative story about her in The Telegraph amid Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial to cast doubt on the legitimacy of her claims. She details being stalked by paparazzi and alleges “Prince Andrew’s team had even gone so far as to try to hire internet trolls to hassle me.”
