Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published in October 2025, delivers a devastating account of trauma, exploitation, and resilience. Released six months after Giuffre’s tragic suicide at age 41, the 400-page book—co-authored with journalist Amy Wallace—lays bare her experiences as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking network. At its core are Giuffre’s unflinching allegations against Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), which she details with raw intensity, piercing the veneer of royal invincibility.
Giuffre, groomed by Maxwell at age 16 while working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, describes being trafficked to powerful men. She alleges three sexual encounters with Andrew, starting when she was 17. The first, in March 2001 at Maxwell’s London home, followed a nightclub outing. Giuffre writes that Andrew seemed “entitled—as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” The encounter was brief and mechanical, leaving her feeling dehumanized. A second occurred at Epstein’s New York townhouse, and the third on Epstein’s private island in an orgy involving other young girls.
These claims echo Giuffre’s earlier sworn statements and 2021 lawsuit, settled out of court in 2022 for an undisclosed sum—reportedly millions—with no admission of liability from Andrew. He has vehemently denied all allegations, insisting he never met her or engaged in wrongdoing. Yet Giuffre’s memoir adds vivid, personal layers: Andrew guessing her age while noting her proximity to his daughters’ ages, caressing her in ways that underscored his perceived privilege.
Beyond the encounters, Giuffre accuses Andrew’s “team” of attempting to hire online trolls to harass her during her civil case. She also claims he hid at Balmoral to evade court papers and, in 2011, instructed a bodyguard to gather dirt on her, including personal details. These revelations intensified scrutiny, contributing to Andrew relinquishing his titles and honors shortly before the book’s release.
Nobody’s Girl is more than accusations against one man; it’s a broader indictment of power’s corrupting influence. Giuffre recounts childhood molestation, Epstein’s manipulation, and being “lent out” to scores of elites. She describes beatings, an ectopic pregnancy possibly linked to the abuse, and attempts to use her as a surrogate. Despite the horror, her narrative affirms survival: escaping at 19, rebuilding her life in Australia, and advocating for victims.
Tragically, Giuffre’s fight ended in suicide in April 2025, amid personal struggles including alleged domestic issues. Her family called the memoir her “legacy,” preserving a voice silenced too soon. Critics hail it as “courageous” and “devastating,” exposing how institutions protect perpetrators over victims.
Andrew’s denials persist, but Giuffre’s words endure, challenging the royal facade and demanding accountability. In an era of #MeToo reckoning, Nobody’s Girl reminds us that no title shields the powerful from truth’s piercing light. Her story—of a girl rendered “nobody” by abuse, yet rising to confront giants—is a testament to unbreakable spirit.
