Even from beyond the grave, Virginia Giuffre’s unflinching memoir ensures Prince Andrew will forever carry the weight of her accusations like an unshakeable specter.
Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published posthumously on October 21, 2025, by Alfred A. Knopf, has become a #1 New York Times bestseller, selling over a million copies in just two months. Completed before Giuffre’s suicide in April 2025 at age 41, the 400-page book—co-authored with journalist Amy Wallace—fulfills her explicit wish to expose the full truth.
Giuffre details being trafficked as a teenager by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, alleging three sexual encounters with Prince Andrew in 2001 when she was 17: in London (after the infamous nightclub photo), New York, and an orgy on Epstein’s island involving eight other young girls. She describes Andrew as “entitled,” believing sex with her was his “birthright,” and notes he correctly guessed her age, joking about “trading her in soon.”
Though Andrew settled a 2022 civil lawsuit—paying an undisclosed sum without admitting liability—and has always denied wrongdoing, the memoir’s release intensified pressure. Days before publication, he relinquished his Duke of York title and remaining honors. By late October, King Charles III initiated processes to strip further privileges, evicting him from royal residences amid renewed outrage.
Giuffre’s voice—raw, courageous, and defiant—pierces years of royal denials, demanding accountability for elite enablers. From victim to advocate, founding a survivors’ charity, her legacy endures. As sales soar and scrutiny mounts, Giuffre’s accusations haunt Andrew indelibly, a specter no settlement can exorcise.
