Giuffre’s Posthumous Memoir Alleges Sex With Prince Andrew at 17 as Guardian Publishes Excerpts

The claims revisit a case resolved by a 2022 civil settlement that Andrew reached without admitting wrongdoing.

Overview

  • The Guardian released excerpts from Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, ahead of its October 21 publication.
  • In the passages, Giuffre alleges three encounters with Prince Andrew—at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home, in New York, and on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island—and says he correctly guessed she was 17 when they first met in March 2001.
  • She recounts a group sexual event on Epstein’s island involving about eight other girls who she says appeared underage, and writes that she coped by taking up to eight Xanax a day.
  • Giuffre sued Andrew in 2021; lawyers announced a financial settlement in February 2022 reported at about £12 million, and Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing.
  • The renewed attention follows Giuffre’s death by suicide in April at age 41, with no new legal action against Andrew reported in the current coverage.
