A posthumous memoir has revealed disturbing new claims about Prince Andrew’s alleged encounter with a teenage Virginia Giuffre, including that he reportedly compared her age to that of his young daughters.
According to the late accuser’s account, the Duke of York correctly identified Giuffre as 17 years old during their alleged 2001 meeting in London, then remarked that his daughters were “just a little younger.” At the time, Princess Beatrice was 12 and Princess Eugenie had just turned 11.
The memoir details how Giuffre was brought to London through arrangements made by Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly woke her that morning with promises of meeting “a handsome prince.” The evening culminated in the now-infamous photograph showing Andrew with his arm around the teenager, though the royal has consistently denied ever meeting her.
Giuffre’s account describes the alleged encounter as lasting less than thirty minutes, with the royal appearing “entitled” and acting as if sexual contact was “his birthright.” She claimed to have received $15,000 from Jeffrey Epstein following the evening for what was described as “servicing” the prince.
The memoir also recounts a nightclub visit where Giuffre described Andrew as “a bumbling dancer” who “sweated profusely”—a detail that conflicts with the prince’s previous claims about a medical condition preventing him from sweating.
Andrew has repeatedly denied all allegations, stating in a 2019 interview that he had “no recollection” of meeting Giuffre and suggesting the photograph was doctored. The new claims emerge from a memoir published posthumously after Giuffre’s death earlier this year.
