Virginia Giuffre claims Prince Andrew’s legal team tried to hire internet trolls to target her after her attack Blame He Royal According to her explosive memoir, she was “raped and beaten.”
in his posthumous book nobody’s girlDue to be released on Tuesday, Giuffre claimed Andrew and his team attempted to “cast doubt on my credibility” after speaking out about alleged abuse at the hands of pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
The latest revelations come as the Metropolitan Police said it is “actively” investigating claims Andrew gave his bodyguard his date of birth and social security number in a bid to dig up dirt for a smear campaign.
Andrew, who has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing, reached A financial agreement with Giuffre in 2022. He gave up the use of his Duke of York title on Friday, but pressure is mounting on the royal family to support a move to formally strip Andrew of his dukedom through parliamentary legislation.
Book gives Giuffre’s detailed description of three different occasions, who died by suicide This year, at the age of 41, she said she had sex with Andrew. The first occasion, he wrote, occurred at Maxwell’s London home in March 2001, when the infamous photograph of the pair was taken by Epstein at his request as a memento for his mother.
In the memoir, Giuffre described the difficulties she and her legal team faced in filing a civil sexual assault case launched in August 2001, in which she wrote that she “alleged that Prince Andrew had raped and battered me when I was a minor, causing serious and permanent harm to me”.
He claimed that Andrew’s legal team did not respond to a letter indicating their intention to prosecute and when action was initiated, they could not be served with the papers due to his “fleeing to Queen Elizabeth’s Balmoral Castle in Scotland and hiding behind its well-guarded gates”.
However, after an American judge accused The case moved forward, he wrote, with Andrew playing “hide and seek” and Giuffre’s legal team getting a “break” when a witness came forward saying she had seen Giuffre and Andrew together at London’s Tramp nightclub.
But in her memoir, Giuffre claimed Andrew’s legal team tried to hire internet trolls to target her online.
“After casting doubt on my credibility for so long – Prince Andrew’s team went so far as to try to employ internet trolls to harass me – the Duke of York also owes me a meaningful apology,” he wrote.
Andrew’s legal team reached an out-of-court settlement, reported to be in the millions, stating that they “never intended to malign Giuffre’s character” and acknowledged that she “suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks”.
In the book, Giuffre accused Andrew of being “entitled – as if he believed it was his birthright to have sex with me”. She said she was “paid $15,000 to serve a tabloid guy named ‘Randy Andy’.”
Giuffre also revealed how the death of Diana, Princess of Wales had scarred her, amid unproven claims that it involved the royal family.
She said that she “didn’t want to have sex with the prince, but I felt like I had to,” adding that she believed there was no way to free herself from the grip of Epstein and Maxwell and that she knew she needed to “keep Epstein and Maxwell happy.”
She claimed that she and Andrew had sex again a month later at Epstein’s home in New York and then on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, where she said they engaged in an orgy with about eight other girls.
Reflecting on her legal battles with Epstein and Andrew, she wrote in her memoir: “I don’t regret it, but the constant telling and retelling has been extremely painful and exhausting. With this book, I want to free myself from my past.”
The titles and honors Andrew will no longer use include his wedding day titles of Duke of York, The Earl of Inverness and Baron Killileigh, his knighthood as Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) and his Garter role as Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
Formally stripping him of the title would require an Act of Parliament, but Charles is believed to view the largely symbolic move as a waste of parliamentary time and the government has said it will be guided by the royal family’s considerations.
Buckingham Palace and Prince Andrew have been contacted for comment.
