Virginia Giuffre, late accuser of Prince Andrew, is reportedly set to make bombshell claims in her posthumous autobiography, written before her death in April
In her posthumous autobiography, Virginia Giuffre is reportedly set to claim Prince Andrew felt “entitled” and believed sleeping with her was his “birthright”.
The Jeffrey Epstein victim, who tragically died aged 41 in April, is said to detail the three occasions when she was allegedly trafficked to have sex with the disgraced duke in ‘Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice’, due to be released in the US on October 21.
According to The Sun, Ms Giuffre is expected to claim Andrew even said “thank you” in a “clipped British accent” after one alleged encounter when she was just 17. She is also said to describe how Ghislaine Maxwell lavished praise on her the morning after the first alleged encounter, telling her: “You did well, the prince had fun.”

The memoir, co-written with journalist Amy Wallace in the years before Ms Giuffre’s death, will describe her abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking.
“In 2011, Virginia Roberts Giuffre hit the headlines as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison and whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalysed his fall from grace,” the book’s blurb reads.
“This is the powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront adversity and trauma of the darkest form, yet found the strength to move forwards, reclaim her voice and shine a light on evil – advocating for others and fighting for a safer, fairer world.”
Ms Giuffre’s memoir describes her first alleged meeting with Andrew on March 10, 2001, at Maxwell’s Belgravia home, where the British socialite made her feel “like Cinderella”, a US source told The Sun.
The report suggests the book will claim the prince correctly guessed Ms Giuffre’s age was 17, saying his daughters, who were then 12 and 10, seemed “younger than you”.
Ms Giuffre is said to recount giving Epstein a Kodak FunSaver camera from her room, which he used to take the infamous picture of her and Andrew – allegedly on March 13, 2001. She reportedly describes a later encounter at Mayfair nightclub Tramp, where she says the prince bought her cocktails and was a “bumbling dancer” who “sweated profusely”.
The memoir reportedly will claim Maxwell instructed her to “do for him what you do for Jeffrey”, after which Ms Giuffre allegedly ran a bath for Andrew, who “was particularly attentive to my feet”. Following the alleged encounter, the book is said to claim Andrew said “thank you” in his “clipped British accent” and that Epstein paid her $15,000 (£12,000) for the meeting.
Ms Giuffre is said to write: “He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.” Describing the image of her and Andrew, she is said to add: “We had no idea of the commotion this photo would later cause.”
Prince Andrew, who paid Ms Giuffre a reported £12 million in an out-of-court settlement, has repeatedly denied having sex with Ms Giuffre. In his Newsnight interview, he said he was at Pizza Express in Woking at the time Ms Giuffre claims they allegedly met. He also suggested the photo was faked, claiming he has a medical condition which stopped him sweating.
Virginia Giuffre died by suicide at her farm in Western Australia in April this year, her family said. Ms Giuffre – who was born in the US – had been living with her children and husband Robert in the suburb of North Perth, but reports before she died suggested the couple had split after 22 years of marriage.
Her death came weeks after Ms Giuffre posted on Instagram to say she had been seriously injured in a car accident. Local police later disputed the severity of the crash.
Following her passing, her family said she had been a “fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse”, and that the “toll of abuse… became unbearable”.
