Days before the official publication of Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice on October 21, 2025, the BBC obtained a full copy of Virginia Giuffre’s unflinching posthumous account, pulling back the veil on the hidden horrors within Jeffrey Epstein’s elite circle. Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, completed the 400-page manuscript with co-author Amy Wallace, explicitly stating her wish for its release regardless of circumstances.
The BBC’s advance access allowed exclusive revelations, including Giuffre’s harrowing fear that she might “die a sex slave” under Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s control. She describes being groomed at 16 while working at Mar-a-Lago, trafficked to powerful men, and subjected to repeated abuse. Central to the memoir are detailed allegations against former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), recounting three alleged sexual encounters in 2001— in London, New York, and on Epstein’s island—where he purportedly guessed her age as 17 yet proceeded.
Giuffre paints Epstein’s network as a web of entitlement, where billionaires, politicians, and royals turned a blind eye. She alleges brutality from a “well-known prime minister” and reflects on the psychological devastation that lingered despite her advocacy for survivors.
Though Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing and settled a 2022 civil suit out of court without admission of liability, the memoir intensifies scrutiny. Co-author Wallace, in BBC interviews, urged Andrew to share what he witnessed of Epstein’s crimes.
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, Nobody’s Girl has become a bestseller, selling over a million copies by December. Giuffre’s voice endures as a powerful indictment of elite impunity, empowering survivors and demanding accountability long after her tragic passing.
