Overview

• Excerpts published this week describe three alleged encounters with the duke in 2001, including when she was 17, with details of a bathtub scene and a later encounter on Epstein’s island described as an orgy.
• Giuffre writes that Epstein paid her $15,000 after the first alleged meeting and that Andrew thanked her in a clipped accent before Maxwell told her the next morning, “The prince had fun.”
• She recounts Andrew correctly guessing she was 17 and remarking his daughters were slightly younger, a detail included in The Guardian’s publication of the extract.
• Andrew has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and in 2022 settled Giuffre’s U.S. civil lawsuit without admitting liability, with court papers noting a payment and a donation to her charity.
• Separately reported leaked correspondence dated Feb. 28, 2011 shows Andrew telling Epstein, “we are in this together,” a note that appears to undercut his 2019 claim that contact ended in 2010, while no new palace sanctions have been announced despite media speculation about further restrictions.
