\nWhy you can trust Sky News
\nSix months after Virginia Giuffre\u2019s death, her posthumous memoir is published today \u2013 detailing alleged sexual encounters with Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n

In Nobody\u2019s Girl, Ms Giuffre writes about three alleged sexual encounters with the prince \u2013 who gave up his titles last week after mounting pressure over his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and his links to an alleged Chinese spy.<\/p>\n

Andrew has always vigorously denied all the accusations against him.
\nMs Giuffre also recounts harrowing details of being manipulated by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, told her co-writer Amy Wallace weeks before her death that it was her \u201cheartfelt wish\u201d for the book to be published even in the event of her death.<\/p>\n

Here are the key claims Ms Giuffre makes in the memoir.<\/p>\n

\u2018I believed I might die a sex slave\u2019<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the memoir, Ms Giuffre writes about her battle to escape the control of Epstein and Maxwell.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people. I was habitually used and humiliated \u2013 and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied.<\/p>\n

Giuffre and Andrew\u2019s alleged first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Epstein took his own life in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was jailed for recruiting young girls for Epstein.<\/p>\n

Giuffre and Andrew\u2019s alleged first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre wrote that on the day she allegedly met Andrew in 2001, Maxwell told her \u201cjust like Cinderella, I was going to meet a handsome prince\u201d.<\/p>\n

She added that when she met Andrew, he correctly guessed she was 17 and told her: \u201cMy daughters are just a little younger than you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre wrote in her memoir about visiting a nightclub with Andrew: \u201cHe was sort of a bumbling dancer, and I remember he sweated profusely.\u201d<\/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

\u201cAfterward, he said thank you in his clipped British accent. In my memory, the whole thing lasted less than half an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre added: \u201cThe next morning, it was clear that Maxwell had conferred with her royal chum because she told me: \u2018You did well. The prince had fun\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

She described the prince as \u201cfriendly enough, but still entitled\u201d adding: \u201cAs if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wrote Epstein paid her $15,000 for \u201cservicing the man the tabloids called \u2018Randy Andy’\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the Newsnight interview, Andrew said he had \u201cno recollection whatsoever\u201d of meeting Ms Giuffre.<\/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

Two other alleged sexual encounters<\/strong><\/p>\n

The memoir also describes two other alleged sexual encounters with the prince, 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 \u201corgy\u201d with Epstein and \u201capproximately eight other young girls\u201d who \u201cappeared to be under the age of 18\u201d who \u201cdidn\u2019t really speak English\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018My mum would never forgive me\u2026 if I didn\u2019t pose for a picture\u2019<\/p>\n

Ms Giuffre was keen to take a photograph of the first time she allegedly met Andrew.<\/p>\n

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

Ms Giuffre said she remembered running for her \u201cKodak FunSaver\u201d camera \u2013 adding that \u201cmy mum would never forgive me if I met someone as famous as Prince Andrew and didn\u2019t pose for a picture\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
