Virginia Giuffre Describes Prince Andrew as Polite Yet Deeply Entitled in Her Posthumous Memoir

In her powerful posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Giuffre offers a detailed and personal account of her alleged encounters with Prince Andrew. She depicts the British royal as someone who appeared cordial and engaging on the surface, yet was fundamentally shaped by an overwhelming sense of entitlement rooted in his privileged position.

Giuffre recounts her first meeting with Prince Andrew in London in March 2001, when she was 17 years old. According to the book, Ghislaine Maxwell introduced them and playfully asked the then-41-year-old royal to guess Giuffre’s age. He correctly identified her as 17 and remarked that his daughters were just a little younger. Giuffre writes that Maxwell later instructed her to “do for [Andrew] what you do for Jeffrey,” leading to what she describes as coerced sexual encounters.

Reflecting on his demeanor years later, Giuffre notes: “He was friendly enough, but still entitled — as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” This characterization captures a man who, in her view, carried himself with outward politeness while viewing the situation through the lens of royal privilege and expectation. She further details additional alleged incidents, including one involving profuse sweating during dancing at a nightclub and another that reportedly included intimate attention to her feet before intercourse.

The memoir, released in October 2025 several months after Giuffre’s death by suicide in April 2025, expands on her earlier public allegations. It portrays the encounters as part of the broader pattern of exploitation she experienced while being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell. Giuffre emphasizes the psychological toll, describing how these experiences contributed to lifelong trauma even as she fought publicly for accountability.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied all allegations of sexual misconduct, stating he has no recollection of ever meeting Giuffre. The two parties reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022, in which Andrew paid an undisclosed sum to Giuffre and made a donation to her victims’ charity. He was subsequently stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by Queen Elizabeth II and has maintained a low public profile since.

Giuffre’s reflections in Nobody’s Girl add emotional depth to the well-documented scandal. She presents Andrew not as a cartoonish villain but as a product of unchecked power — outwardly affable yet operating with the assumption that rules and consequences did not fully apply to him. This nuanced portrayal has resonated with readers, sparking renewed discussions about entitlement among the elite and the challenges survivors face in confronting high-profile abusers.

The book has drawn significant attention for its candid style and focus on Giuffre’s journey from victim to advocate. Through her writing, she continues to shine a light on the human cost of sex trafficking and the ways in which privilege can shield individuals from full accountability. While Prince Andrew’s legal team has dismissed many of the claims as previously litigated and resolved, Giuffre’s voice — preserved in these pages — ensures her perspective remains part of the public record.

Nobody’s Girl stands as both a personal testimony and a broader call for justice. Giuffre’s description of Andrew as cordial yet profoundly entitled encapsulates the complex dynamics of power, consent, and exploitation that defined her experiences and continue to fuel global conversations about the Epstein case.
