\n

The late sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre alleged in her memoir that Prince Andrew was “entitled” and “believed having sex with me was his birthright”.<\/p>\n

In a posthumous book, Nobody’s Girl, Ms Giuffre details her alleged sexual encounters with the Duke of York<\/a><\/strong> when she was 17, which have been previously reported.<\/p>\n

Prince Andrew has always denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

She also describes her manipulation by Jeffrey Epstein<\/a><\/strong>, who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a><\/strong>, who was jailed for recruiting young girls for Epstein<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In extracts, reported in The Guardian<\/a><\/strong> and The Times<\/a><\/strong>, Virginia Giuffre said she was introduced to Andrew in March 2001 while staying at Maxwell’s house near Hyde Park, London.<\/p>\n

She wrote: “Maxwell woke me up that morning by announcing in a sing-songy voice: ‘Get out of bed, sleepyhead!’ It was going to be a special day, she said. Just like Cinderella, I was going to meet a handsome prince!”<\/p>\n

She added that when she met Andrew, he correctly guessed she was 17 and told her: “My daughters are just a little younger than you.”<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre was keen to take a photograph of the encounter.<\/p>\n

That image, showing him with his arm around Giuffre, has become infamous. The duke later claimed the picture had been doctored.<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre wrote in her memoir about visiting a nightclub with Andrew: “He was sort of a bumbling dancer, and I remember he sweated profusely.”<\/p>\n

That claim was strongly denied by Andrew, who said in a 2019 Newsnight interview that he suffered from a condition which meant he was unable to sweat.<\/p>\n

When they returned to the house, Ms Giuffre claimed in the memoir that she ran Andrew a bath before they had sex.<\/p>\n

“He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright,” she wrote. She added: “In my memory, the whole thing lasted less than half an hour.”<\/p>\n

She wrote Epstein paid her $15,000 for “servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy'”.<\/p>\n

The memoir includes two other alleged sexual encounters with the duke, including in New York a month later and on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands when she was around 18.<\/p>\n

The extract describes the latter as an “orgy” with “approximately eight other young girls” who “appeared to be under the age of 18”.<\/p>\n

In the 2019 Newsnight interview, Andrew denied claims that he slept with Ms Giuffre. In 2022, Andrew and Ms Giuffre settled out of court<\/a><\/strong> in her civil sex assault claim against him.<\/p>\n

He stated: “I can absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”<\/p>\n

He said the alleged encounter in 2001 did not happen because he had spent the day with his daughter, Princess Beatrice, taking her to Pizza Express in Woking for a party.<\/p>\n

In September, it emerged Andrew’s ex-wife had called Epstein a “supreme friend” in an email<\/a><\/strong>. Sarah, Duchess of York, had written an apology to the sex offender for disowning him in the media.<\/p>\n

Her spokesperson said the message was written because he had threatened to sue her for defamation. The duchess was dropped by a number of charities<\/strong><\/a> she had been a patron of.<\/p>\n

Her spokesman said it was sent ‘in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats’.<\/span>

Peter Mandelson was also recently sacked by Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> <\/strong>after it was discovered the British ambassador to the US had also sent messages to Epstein, calling him “my best pal”, after he was jailed awaiting sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

The Duke of York has been contacted for comment about the latest allegations in Ms Giuffre’s book, while Buckingham Palace declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
