The British royal family faces renewed embarrassment as "Nobody's Girl", the posthumously published memoir of Virginia Giuffre—one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers—hit shelves on October 21, 2025, six months after her suicide in April at age 41. Giuffre, who long accused Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her three times when she was 17, detailed the alleged encounters in graphic terms, reigniting a scandal that has dogged the monarchy since Epstein's 2019 arrest and death.

The book, co-written with ghostwriter Amy Wallace and quickly topping Amazon's bestseller list, doesn't introduce fresh allegations but amplifies calls for Andrew to relinquish his remaining titles and privileges. The 65-year-old prince, Queen Elizabeth II's second son, announced last week he would cease using his Duke of York title and HRH designation while denying the claims. However, emerging details—from emails suggesting prolonged Epstein ties to a reported police inquiry into his 2011 request for Giuffre's criminal record—have intensified demands for Buckingham Palace to evict him from his 30-room Windsor mansion and bar him from royal events.

Giuffre's narrative centres on her recruitment at 16 by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who she claimed trafficked her to high-profile abusers, including Andrew, whom she first met in London in March 2001. In the memoir, she described Maxwell waking her like Cinderella for the "special day" with the "handsome prince", who remarked her age mirrored his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie's. Giuffre alleged Maxwell ordered her to "do for him what you do for Jeffrey," leading to sex for which Epstein paid her $15,000.

Subsequent assaults purportedly occurred at Epstein's New York home a month later and on his Caribbean island with eight other underage girls. These accounts echo her 2021 New York lawsuit, settled out-of-court in 2022 for an undisclosed sum—estimated at £12 million—without Andrew admitting liability but acknowledging her trafficking trauma and donating to her victims' charity. Giuffre lamented the settlement's lack of a full apology, noting Andrew's team allegedly hired "internet trolls" to harass her online, a tactic she said undermined her credibility for years.

Andrew's woes trace back to his disastrous 2019 BBC interview, where he dismissed the infamous photo of him with Giuffre's arm around her waist, claiming no recollection of meeting her and citing a Pizza Express alibi for the alleged London encounter. He admitted to ending Epstein contact in 2010, but a leaked February 2011 email, published last week by British tabloids, shows him writing, "We are in this together... we have to rise above it," contradicting his timeline.

London's Metropolitan Police confirmed probing a Mail on Sunday report that Andrew tasked a bodyguard with checking Giuffre's record in 2011, potentially breaching privacy laws. Stripped of public duties since 2019, Andrew has retreated from view, but Wallace urged him to testify in the U.S. about Epstein's network, praising Giuffre's bravery in exposing elite enablers. The scandal, intertwined with Maxwell's 2022 conviction for sex trafficking, has cost the royals millions in legal fees and reputational damage, per palace insiders.

As King Charles III navigates a post-Elizabeth era marked by health issues and family rifts, the Epstein saga threatens to overshadow his slimmed-down monarchy vision. Public pressure mounts via petitions exceeding 100,000 signatures demanding Andrew's full disownment, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces calls to revoke his security detail, funded by taxpayers at £3 million annually. Giuffre's death, attributed to chronic pain from her ordeals, has amplified sympathy for survivors, with Wallace crediting her persistence for Andrew's partial title surrender.

The memoir, blending trauma with defiance, underscores unresolved questions about Epstein's "client list" and royal complicity, fuelling documentaries and lawsuits. For the Windsors, already battered by Harry-Meghan fallout, this resurgence tests institutional resilience, potentially accelerating reforms like asset freezes or parliamentary enquiries to restore public trust in a family long synonymous with pomp amid private peril.
