Virginia Giuffre’s Memoir Reveals Prince Andrew’s Sense of Entitlement in Alleged Abuse by Epstein and Maxwell

In her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre provides a raw account of the sexual exploitation she endured as a teenager at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and several high-profile figures, including Britain’s Prince Andrew. The book, titled Nobody’s Girl, details how she was drawn into a world of manipulation and abuse, beginning when she was just 16 and working at Mar-a-Lago.

Giuffre describes being recruited by Maxwell, who presented Epstein as an opportunity for a brighter future, perhaps training as a massage therapist. Instead, she was quickly immersed in a cycle of coercion and sexual demands. Epstein, portrayed as a cunning manipulator, and Maxwell, his enabler with an air of sophistication, allegedly groomed and trafficked her to influential associates.

A significant portion focuses on her encounters with Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles. Giuffre alleges three separate incidents of sexual abuse involving the royal, with the first occurring in London in March 2001 when she was 17. She recalls Maxwell excitedly preparing her for the meeting, likening it to a fairy-tale encounter with a “handsome prince.” That evening, at a nightclub and later at Maxwell’s residence, the interaction escalated.

Giuffre writes that Andrew, then in his early 40s, accurately guessed her age and remarked that his own daughters were only slightly younger. While he came across as cordial on the surface, she perceived an underlying arrogance. Reflecting years later, she noted his demeanor suggested he viewed intimacy with her as something inherently owed to him due to his status—an entitlement rooted in privilege. She describes the act as brief and mechanical, followed by him thanking her afterward, which underscored the transactional and dehumanizing nature of the experience.

These allegations align with previous claims, including a widely circulated photograph of Andrew with his arm around the teenager, taken by Epstein. Giuffre emphasizes that those around her—Epstein, Maxwell, and others—were aware of her youth yet did nothing to intervene, treating vulnerable girls as disposable.

The memoir also touches on the broader pattern of psychological control employed by Epstein and Maxwell, breaking down victims gradually through isolation, rewards, and punishment. Giuffre expresses lingering trauma from these events, haunted by memories even after escaping the network.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied all accusations of wrongdoing, including any sexual contact with Giuffre. He reached a financial settlement with her in 2022 without admitting liability, and he has maintained that he regrets his association with Epstein.

Giuffre’s writing serves as a testament to survival and a call for accountability. Published after her tragic death by suicide in April 2025, the book underscores the devastating impact of sex trafficking on young victims and highlights how power dynamics enabled such exploitation. It stands as a final, powerful statement from a woman who fought publicly for justice against some of the world’s most influential figures.
