On 15 October, the Guardian published the first extract from Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir in which she outlined allegations of when she claimed Andrew sexually assaulted her at Ghislaine Maxwell’s flat. She writes that Andrew acted as if sex with her was his \u201cbirthright\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said Epstein paid her 15,000 dollars for \u201cservicing the man the tabloids called “‘Randy Andy'”.<\/p>\n
The memoir also includes two other occasions the duke was alleged to have had sex with Giuffre, including in New York a month later and on Epstein\u2019s 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
The Metropolitan Police also says it will look into claims Andrew passed Ms Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard in 2011.<\/p>\n
Andrew told to stop using Duke of York title<\/h3>\n
Amid growing pressure following the release of extracts from Giuffre’s memoir, on 17 October it was revealed Andrew would stop using his remaining titles and honours, including the Duke of York.<\/p>\n
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, Andrew said that in discussion with the King and his immediate and wider family, they decided \u201cthe continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the royal family\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
