In a posthumous memoir titled *Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice*, Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, details harrowing allegations against Prince Andrew, Duke of York. The book, co-written with author Amy Wallace, is set for release next week, nearly six months after Giuffre’s tragic suicide in April. The memoir recounts three instances where Giuffre claims she was forced into sexual encounters with Prince Andrew, including at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London residence, Epstein’s New York townhouse, and his private island in the US Virgin Islands. Giuffre describes Prince Andrew as ‘entitled,’ alleging he acted as if sexual relations with her were his ‘birthright.’ She also recalls a notorious photograph taken in London in 2001, where Prince Andrew, then 41, placed his arm around her waist while Epstein snapped the picture. The memoir further reveals Giuffre’s struggles with trauma, including her reliance on tranquilisers to cope with the abuse. Despite reaching a financial settlement with Giuffre in 2022, Prince Andrew has consistently denied all allegations, stating in a BBC Newsnight interview that he ‘categorically’ never met her or engaged in any sexual contact. The book sheds light on Epstein’s manipulative tactics, his circle of powerful associates, and the systemic exploitation of vulnerable young women. Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019, while Maxwell is serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking. Giuffre’s memoir serves as a poignant testament to her fight for justice and the enduring impact of her experiences.
