Although his book did not break new ground, it has prompted a series of new allegations against Andrew, who has renewed efforts to control the damage to the monarchy from the long-running scandal over his friendship with Epstein.

She wrote that on the day she first met Andrew, Maxwell woke her up and told her it was going to be a special day and that “like Cinderella” she would meet “a handsome prince”.
She said that when they met the prince told her “My daughters are just a little younger than you.” She said that Maxwell had instructed her to “do for him what you do for Jeffrey,” adding: “I knew better than to question his orders.” She said Epstein immediately gave her $15,000 to have sex with Andrew.

Of that settlement, Giuffre wrote: “After casting doubt on my credibility for so long – Prince Andrew’s team even went so far as to employ Internet trolls to harass me – the Duke of York also owes me a meaningful apology.”
He said, “Of course, we will never get a confession. That’s what settlements are designed to avoid.” “But we were trying for the next best thing: a general acknowledgment of what I went through.”
New allegations against the prince!
Andrew, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, had already resigned from all his public duties and charity roles in 2019 after his attempt to quash reports about his friendship with Epstein backfired badly.
The prince was widely criticized for his BBC interview, in which he offered an unbelievable explanation for his continued relationship with the disgraced financier. He also denied that he ever had sexual contact with Giuffre, that he had “no recollection” of ever meeting her and had “no recollection at all” of a now-infamous photo of him with his arm around her waist in 2001.
Andrew also said in the same interview that he had broken off contact with Epstein in December 2010.
Last week, British newspapers published an email that allegedly showed the royal had been in contact with Epstein for longer than he admitted. In the note, reportedly from February 28, 2011, Andrew said they were “in this together” and that they “have to get over it.”
Separately, in London on Sunday metropolitan police said it was investigating a report published in the Mail on Sunday that Andrew had asked a police officer appointed as his bodyguard in 2011 to find out whether Giuffre had any criminal record.
