Overview
- Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, is released today, reiterating claims she had sexual encounters with Prince Andrew at 17, including a group encounter on Jeffrey Epstein’s island.
- The Metropolitan Police say they are examining new disclosures and have opened a preliminary inquiry into reports Andrew asked a protection officer to dig up material to discredit Giuffre.
- Prince Andrew announced he will no longer use his royal titles or honors, acknowledging the continuing allegations have become a distraction for the monarchy.
- Reporting citing the Sunday Times says Prince William plans a zero‑tolerance approach that would exclude Andrew from future royal events, including his coronation.
- Lawmakers are urging formal removal of remaining titles as fresh scrutiny falls on the origin of the reported £12 million settlement and on past financial help to Sarah Ferguson, while Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie skipped a high‑profile British Museum gala.
