Giuffre’s Posthumous Memoir Intensifies Pressure on Prince Andrew as Police Open Inquiry

The bestseller’s release is increasing calls for the prince to cooperate with investigators.

Overview

  • The memoir, published today, quickly rose to No. 1 on Amazon UK and details Giuffre’s claims of three sexual encounters with Prince Andrew, including one when she was 17, and an orgy involving Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Prince Andrew has stopped using the Duke of York title, and the royal family’s website now reflects the change.
  • London’s Metropolitan Police announced an inquiry into a report that Andrew asked an officer to seek material to discredit Virginia Giuffre.
  • Co-author Amy Wallace and US congressman Pete Sessions say the publication heightens the need for Andrew to speak to American investigators.
  • Media scrutiny of Andrew’s finances deepened as The Times reported he has paid no rent on Royal Lodge since 2003 under a long lease; he denies Giuffre’s allegations and previously settled her civil suit.
