Virginia Giuffre’s Key Allegations Against Prince Andrew in Her Posthumous Memoir Nobody’s Girl

Virginia Giuffre, the prominent survivor and accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal, detailed her harrowing experiences in her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published in October 2025. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41 in Western Australia, shortly after expressing her firm wish for the book to be released regardless of her circumstances. Co-written with journalist Amy Wallace, the 400-page account provides her unfiltered perspective on years of exploitation by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including specific claims involving Prince Andrew, whom she accused of sexual abuse when she was a teenager.

The memoir revisits and expands on allegations Giuffre first made publicly, which led to a 2022 civil settlement with Prince Andrew (without any admission of liability on his part). Andrew has consistently denied all accusations of wrongdoing, including ever meeting Giuffre or engaging in any sexual activity with her. The book mentions him approximately 88 times, framing her encounters as part of a broader pattern of being trafficked to powerful men.

Key claims regarding Prince Andrew include:

• Three alleged sexual encounters: Giuffre describes three separate instances of sexual contact with the prince, orchestrated through Epstein and Maxwell. These reportedly occurred in different locations: one in London (at Maxwell’s Belgravia townhouse in March 2001, when Giuffre was 17), one in New York, and one on Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• The London meeting and “birthright” entitlement: In a detailed recollection of their first alleged encounter in March 2001, Giuffre writes that Maxwell introduced her to Andrew, who correctly guessed her age as 17 during a guessing game. She portrays him as “friendly enough, but still entitled,” asserting that he behaved “as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” The encounter is described as non-consensual and part of her exploitation.
• An alleged orgy involving multiple participants: One of the encounters is characterized as occurring within a group setting—an “orgy” involving Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and around eight other girls. Giuffre expresses profound distress over the dehumanizing nature of these events, tying them to her fear that she “might die a sex slave” under Epstein and Maxwell’s control.
• Broader context of manipulation and abuse: Giuffre frames these incidents within her two years as what she calls a “sex slave” for Epstein and Maxwell, during which she was “lent out” to numerous wealthy and influential figures. She describes being habitually used, humiliated, choked, beaten, and bloodied, with powerful individuals—including those in Epstein’s circle—aware but indifferent.
• Settlement insights: The memoir touches on the 2022 out-of-court resolution, noting that negotiations accelerated after Andrew retained U.S. lawyer Andrew Brettler (experienced in #MeToo cases). Giuffre and her team sought more than financial compensation—they wanted acknowledgment of her suffering—though the final agreement included no such admission from Andrew.

The book’s release intensified scrutiny on Prince Andrew, contributing to reports of him relinquishing royal titles amid renewed pressure related to his Epstein ties and other controversies. Giuffre’s family described the memoir’s impact as a form of “victory,” crediting her courage in exposing truths about abuse and institutional complicity.

Giuffre’s narrative also covers her recruitment by Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago at age 16, ongoing trauma, and advocacy efforts, underscoring systemic failures that allowed predators to operate unchecked. While the memoir revives painful details, it stands as her final testament to survival and justice-seeking in the face of profound exploitation.
