The book also reports two other occasions on which she alleges she had sex with Andrew – in Epstein’s townhouse in New York and on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands.
All three of the claimed meetings with Andrew have been reported in detail before, including in her previous witness statements and accounts, but this brings them together and provides her own perspective.
“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch,” she writes.
The book also reveals that she was taking tranquilisers to cope with her life working for Epstein.
“Sometimes, when I was really struggling, I took as many as eight Xanax a day,” she writes.
She also explained why she didn’t leave “Epstein’s lair even after we knew what he wanted from us.”
“How can you complain about being abused, some have asked, when you could so easily have stayed away? But that stance discounts what many of us had been through before we encountered Epstein, as well as how good he was at spotting girls whose wounds made them vulnerable,” she writes.
“Several of us had been molested or raped as children; many of us were poor or even homeless. We were girls who no one cared about, and Epstein pretended to care.”
After leaving Epstein, Ms Giuffre had settled in Australia where she lived with her husband and three children. She took her own life at the age of 41.
Epstein had killed himself in jail in New York in while awaiting trial. Ghislaine Maxwell was jailed on charges related to sex trafficking.
Prince Andrew made a financial payment to Ms Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement, after she had brought a civil case against him, and he denies all the accusations made against him.
He refutes Ms Giuffre’s claims about having sex with him at the three locations: “I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened,” Andrew said in his BBC Newsnight interview.
“I can tell you categorically I don’t remember meeting her at all. I do not remember a photograph being taken and I’ve said consistently and frequently that we never had any sort of sexual contact whatever,” he said.
Prince Andrew has faced challenges over aspects of his own account.
He said he had cut all links with Epstein after seeing him in New York in December 2010, but an email later emerged from February 2011 which suggested Andrew was still in touch, with the promise to “play some more soon”.
The Duke of York’s office has been contacted for comment.
