In her first interview in years, Virginia Giuffre wipes away tears as she recounts the moment she realized the world might finally believe her: “I was just a kid when they took everything from me.” Now, at 42, the woman at the center of the Prince Andrew scandal is breaking her silence in a raw and unflinching conversation that lays bare the enduring pain, the unanswered questions, and the royal’s desperate attempts to escape accountability.T

In a poignant posthumous revelation, Virginia Giuffre’s voice echoes once more through previously unseen footage from a 2019 BBC Panorama interview, aired in November 2025. Giuffre, who tragically died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, detailed her harrowing experiences with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew (now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after being stripped of his royal titles). This “powerful new interview” footage resurfaces amid renewed scrutiny, exposing the enduring impact of one of the most damaging scandals to beset the British monarchy.

Giuffre, then 17, recounted being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. In the unearthed clips, she described meeting Andrew in London in 2001. Introduced by Maxwell, Giuffre was taken to Tramp nightclub, where Andrew allegedly danced with her profusely sweating—”like it was raining everywhere”—before the encounter escalated. “Ghislaine tells me that I have to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey, and that made me sick,” Giuffre said, expressing shock that such behavior came from royalty. She felt like “a toy to be passed around,” compelled into sexual acts against her will.

These allegations, which Andrew has vehemently denied, contributed to his downfall. The 2025 airing followed King Charles III’s decision to strip Andrew of all royal titles, honors, and styles in October, rendering him simply Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. This move came after revelations of 2011 emails contradicting Andrew’s claims of severing ties with Epstein, alongside extracts from Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, published that month.

Giuffre’s story began as a vulnerable teenager recruited by Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago. Trafficked to powerful men, she alleged three sexual encounters with Andrew: in London, New York, and on Epstein’s private island during an orgy. “He knows what happened, I know what happened,” she asserted in the interview, challenging Andrew’s infamous 2019 Newsnight denial where he claimed no recollection of meeting her despite photographic evidence.

The scandal’s shadows persist. Giuffre settled a civil lawsuit with Andrew in 2022 for an undisclosed sum (reportedly millions), with no admission of liability. Yet her memoir and this footage amplify calls for accountability. Her family hailed Andrew’s title removal as “unprecedented,” stating an “ordinary American girl” brought down a prince through courage.

Giuffre’s advocacy for trafficking survivors shone through her founded charity and relentless pursuit of justice. Tragically, the toll proved immense. As her brother Sky Roberts tearfully noted, she was a “fierce warrior.” This resurfaced interview not only revives painful memories but underscores systemic failures protecting the elite. The Epstein web entangled figures like Andrew, highlighting how power shields predators while victims fight in silence—or, heartbreakingly, are silenced forever.

Even in death, Giuffre’s words demand reckoning. The lingering shadows over Andrew’s scandal remind us: truth, though delayed, casts long light on hidden darkness.
