Giuffre Memoir Sparks New Pressure on Prince Andrew

Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl alleges she had three sexual encounters with Prince Andrew — in London, New York and on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island — and says Andrew correctly guessed she was 17. The book went on sale in London days after Andrew relinquished the Duke of York title under pressure from King Charles; Andrew denies the allegations and made an undisclosed settlement payment in 2022. Its publication quickly hit bestseller lists and has reignited calls for the royal family to distance itself from Andrew, prompted lawmakers to seek measures to strip him of titles, and led police to probe reports that he asked a police officer in 2011 to dig up information on Giuffre. Giuffre’s family has publicly urged Buckingham Palace to “do the right thing,” called for investigations and accountability, noted she planned to use settlement funds to support anti‑trafficking work, and said they remain proud of her courage after her suicide earlier this year.
