Prince Andrew’s teenage sex accuser Virginia Giuffre feared she might ‘die a sex slave’ at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful circle, her posthumous memoir reveals.
Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice is set to reveal disturbing new details about Ms Giuffre’s time with the paedophile financier, sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and their many well-known friends, including Andrew.
In the memoir from beyond the grave, which will be published on Tuesday almost six months after she took her own life, Ms Giuffre says she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times.
She claims that on one occasion, she had an orgy with Epstein, Andrew and eight other young women on the financier’s 72-acre island, Little Saint James, which he nicknamed ‘Little Saint Jeff’s.’
Andrew, who reached a financial settlement of a reported $12million with Ms Giuffre in 2022, has always denied any wrongdoing.
The publication of the memoir is set to put Prince Andrew under even more scrutiny, just days after he finally announced he would drop his titles after speaking with his brother King Charles amid increasing pressure over his ties to Epstein.
In a disturbing extract seen by the BBC, Ms Giuffre paints a sinister picture of Epstein’s sex trafficking network, saying the girls were required to look ‘childlike’ and that her childhood eating disorder was ‘only encouraged’.
‘In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people,’ she writes.
‘I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied. I believed that I might die a sex slave.’

Ms Giuffre claims Epstein subjected her to sadomasochistic sex which caused her ‘so much pain that I prayed I would black out’.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a person under the age of 18. He was found dead in his jail cell in August 2019, while Maxwell was jailed for 20 years in 2022 for finding girls for Epstein to abuse.
In the book, Ms Giuffre explains how she first met Prince Andrew in March 2001, claiming Maxwell woke her up and told her she was going to have a ‘special day’ and ‘just like Cinderella’ she would meet a ‘handsome prince’.
She says that when she met Andrew later that day, Maxwell told him to guess her age.
The prince, who was then 41, ‘guessed correctly’ that she was 17, recalling how he said: ‘My daughters are just a little younger than you.’
Later that night, Ms Giuffre claims she went to Tramp nightclub in London, with Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell, where the prince ‘sweated profusely’.
Ms Giuffre wrote that on the way back to Maxwell’s house afterwards, she was told: ‘When we get home, you are to do for him what you do for Jeffrey.’
She claims they had sex back at the house, adding: ‘He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.
‘The next morning, it was clear that Maxwell had conferred with her royal chum because she told me: ‘You did well. The prince had fun.”
Ms Giuffre wrote that ‘she didn’t feel so great’, adding: ‘Soon, Epstein would give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy’ – a lot of money.’
She claims they had sex for a second time around a month later at Epstein’s New York townhouse.
Meanwhile, the third occasion was on Epstein’s ‘paedo island’ as part of what Ms Giuffre called an orgy with eight other women. Prince Andrew was contacted for comment.
Ms Giuffre said in a sworn declaration in 2015 that she was ‘around 18’ at the time of the orgy.
‘Epstein, Andy, and approximately eight other young girls and I had sex together,’ she says. The other girls all appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English.
‘Epstein laughed about how they couldn’t really communicate, saying they are the easiest girls to get along with.’
She claims she lost her baby days after having the orgy with Andrew.
Ms Giuffre wrote: ‘On July 8, 2001, Epstein, a few others and I flew to Teterboro Airport, outside New York City.’
She says she later woke up in a ‘pool of blood’ and remembers Epstein taking her to hospital and whispering to a medic about her care.
She wrote: ‘I had a tiny incursion near my belly button, which was consistent with a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. But Epstein told me I’d had a miscarriage, which is something altogether different. The one thing I remember clearly is that, at one point, a doctor told me I might never be able to have children.’
In the book, she adds: ‘Epstein never wore a condom. Neither did the men he and Maxwell trafficked me to.’
There is no suggestion Andrew was the father of the unborn baby.
Ms Giuffre filed a lawsuit against the royal in August 2021, seeking unspecified damages for battery, including rape, and the infliction of emotional distress.
She alleged that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times when she was just 17 years old under the orders of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The case was settled outside of court for a reported $12 million, with $2million thought to have been donated to her sex trafficking charity. Prince Andrew did not admit wrongdoing and has consistently and vehemently denied the claims.
However, in her new book Ms Giuffre exposes the details of the gagging order she was reportedly asked to sign by the prince.
She writes: ‘I agreed to a one-year gag order, which seemed important to the Prince because it ensured that his mother’s Platinum Jubilee would not be tarnished any more than it already had been.’
The agreement meant Ms Giuffre was barred from discussing her abuse at the hands of Epstein during the 70th year of the late Queen’s reign.
Andrew last week finally fell on his sword and announced he would no longer use his titles after speaking with his brother King Charles amid increasing pressure over his ties to Epstein.

There was a sense of relief at Buckingham Palace as Andrew relinquished his remaining titles – including Duke of York, his membership of the Order of the Garter – but he will remain a prince as he is the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
But Ms Giuffre’s family have led growing calls for Andrew to have his ‘prince’ title removed after The Mail on Sunday published a fresh series of exclusives yesterday which raised further questions over his behaviour.
This newspaper revealed how Andrew told the Met Police to dig up dirt on Ms Giuffre by handing over her confidential social security number and date of birth to his taxpayer-funded police protection officer. The Met is ‘actively looking into the claims made’.
The MoS also revealed how Epstein introduced Andrew to a second woman who had been sexually abused by the paedophile financier for years and how he bankrolled Sarah Ferguson, Andrew’s ex-wife, for 15 years.
And royal experts have told the Daily Mail how the next few days could be ‘toxic’ for Andrew and risks overshadowing King Charles’s royal engagements, including his state visit to the Vatican with Queen Camilla on Wednesday.
Ahead of Ms Giuffre’s memoir from beyond the grave being published on Tuesday, her ghost writer Amy Wallace will appear on Newsnight tonight. The constant stream of Andrew’s name in the headlines is set to bring ‘more days of pain ahead’ for the Royal Family, a source told the BBC.
A royal source told the BBC there are currently no plans for the removal of his prince title but added: ‘The headlines are taking a lot of oxygen out of the royal room.’

The book is to be published on Tuesday, a day before Charles begins a state visit to the Holy See, during which he will become the first British monarch to pray at a public service with the Pope since the Reformation.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail: ‘The problem the Royal Family has is that it cannot control events. The posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl by poor Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life in April this year, will, according to early reports, be toxic for Andrew.’
He said ‘only 1 per cent’ of documents linked to Epstein have been made public, adding: ‘This could therefore be an almost endless stream of embarrassment and it is clear that they could be highly incriminating both to Andrew and also to Sarah Ferguson as yesterday’s MoS revealed.
‘There will almost certainly be more public disgust at what is revealed.
‘When William becomes King he is likely to pursue a tough policy and we may never see Andrew or Sarah in public again at a royal event.’
A report in The Sunday Times suggested that the Prince of Wales was ‘not satisfied’ with the decision concerning Andrew’s titles.
The newspaper suggested William intended to take a ‘more ruthless’ approach to his disgraced uncle, and would ban him from his future coronation.
It is understood, however, that the King and William are in lockstep over how to deal with the former duke.
Andrew, still a prince and living in the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge mansion, issued a statement in his own words on Friday in which he said he was giving up his Duke of York title and honours, to prevent distracting from the work of the monarch and the royal family.
Ms Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, has urged the King to go further and strip Andrew of his right to be a prince.
Charles is said to have acted, in consultation with William, Andrew and the royal family, on Friday, after it emerged Andrew had emailed Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 saying ‘we’re in this together’, three months after he claimed he had broken all contact with him.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips the Government would be guided by the royal family on any formal action to remove Andrew’s titles.
He said: ‘I think it’s really important as a Government minister, that we allow the royal family to make decisions on these questions.’
He also described the claims that Andrew wanted his bodyguard to smear Ms Giuffre as ‘deeply concerning allegations’.
In 2022, the then-Duke of York paid millions to accuser Ms Giuffre to settle a civil sexual assault case, despite claiming never to have met her.
In the book, Ms Giuffre also described how Andrew’s disastrous Newsnight interview was like an ‘injection of jet fuel’ for her legal team, and it raised the possibility of ‘subpoenaing’ his former wife Sarah, and daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, and drawing them into the legal case.
Ms Giuffre said she got ‘more out of’ Andrew than a reported $12million pay-out and two million dollar donation to her charity, because she had ‘an acknowledgement that I and many other women had been victimised and a tacit pledge to never deny it again’.
The prince’s 2019 Newsnight interview, which he hoped would clear his name, backfired when he said he ‘did not regret’ his friendship with convicted paedophile Epstein, who trafficked Ms Giuffre.
He was heavily criticised for failing to show sympathy with the sex offender’s victims.
Andrew also said he had ‘no recollection’ of ever meeting Ms Giuffre, and said he could not have had sex with her in March 2001 because he was at Pizza Express with Beatrice on the day in question.
It comes as the Mail revealed how King Charles threatened to have Andrew officially stripped of his titles unless he ‘saw sense’.
Charles made clear he would not hesitate to take decisive ‘further action’ if his brother refused to give up his dukedom and other honours after he lied about cutting ties with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, it can be revealed.
The Daily Mail understands that despite the growing tsunami of evidence against him, the former Duke of York was digging his heels in with a ‘startling lack of contrition’.
It was a situation the King deemed ‘intolerable’, sources said.
The only way for Charles to legally strip Andrew of his titles would have been to take it through Parliament, and he has never wished to take up its valuable time and resources in dealing with the matter.
But last week he privately made clear to Andrew that a raft of options were open to him if he did not fall on his sword.
Some have questioned whether the act of making Queen Elizabeth’s second son simply set aside his titles is adequate in the circumstances.
But sources say that to involve Parliament when it is dealing with huge domestic and economic challenges, not to mention major global security issues, could have been seen as a waste of resources and taken months – or even a year – to conclude.
The fact courtiers were even willing to consider taking the matter out of his hands – whether through Parliament or by other means – is believed to have ‘shocked’ Andrew into finally taking action.
A royal source said yesterday: ‘The thought of him still continuing to use the titles and honours that had been conferred upon him for another day, month or year while other options were explored and enactioned was intolerable, for the sake of the wider family. And at last, for the wider good, Andrew saw sense.’
