Giuffre Memoir Alleges Prince Andrew Treated Sex as His 'Birthright'

A posthumous excerpt deepens scrutiny of the Duke’s Epstein ties ahead of the Oct. 21 release.

Overview

  • An excerpt from Virginia Giuffre’s upcoming memoir describes her first alleged encounter in March 2001, claiming the Duke was “friendly enough, but still entitled,” with graphic details of the encounter.
  • Giuffre alleges three sexual encounters, including one at Epstein’s New York townhouse and another on Little Saint James that she characterizes as an orgy with other underage girls.
  • She writes that Andrew correctly guessed she was 17 and remarked his daughters were “just a little younger,” and that Epstein later paid her $15,000.
  • Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, previously questioned the authenticity of the 2011 photo, and settled Giuffre’s U.S. civil suit in 2022 for a sum reported to exceed £12 million without admitting liability.
  • Separately reported leaked 2011 correspondence appears to show Andrew telling Epstein “we are in this together,” and some outlets report the King could limit Andrew’s access to royal estates, a potential sanction not confirmed by the Palace.
