Andrew is embroiled in controversy once again. Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused him of sexual crimes while she was just seventeen, is set to share her final thoughts in a memoir titled Nobody’s Girl, which will be published posthumously in October. Giuffre, who died in what was ruled a suicide in April, is expected to shake the foundations of the Royal Family with this release. With her book creating headlines, Prince Andrew finds his household gripped by fear.
Just days after Andrew Lownie’s book, Entitled, reignited scrutiny over Andrew’s questionable finances and conduct funded by taxpayers, Giuffre’s memoir threatens to deliver a decisive blow. During previous statements, Giuffre has maintained that Prince Andrew was among those who abused her as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring. This history prompted Andrew to settle a civil case with her for millions.
In a prior BBC interview, Andrew claimed he was dining at a Pizza Express with one of his daughters on a night Giuffre alleged they met. However, his own daughters did not support this alibi, and his assertion of being unable to sweat was quickly contradicted by reports in the media. Even Andrew’s allies suggest that photographs connecting him to Giuffre are falsified, but skepticism about his claims continues to grow.
Ted Doughty from Random House indicated that while Giuffre’s book will delve into her tragic life, it notably does not make allegations against Donald Trump. However, for the Duke of York, the ongoing fallout from Giuffre’s revelations casts a long shadow. He has already distanced himself from public engagements, stripped of several royal patronages and military roles, now appearing only at family events. His absence from a recent church service at Balmoral illustrates the pressure he faces amidst these mounting issues.
The Royal Family’s troubles have intensified, following the explosive details revealed in Lownie’s biography, which sparked renewed interest in their financial dealings and Andrew’s alleged sexual exploits. Giuffre’s upcoming memoir may further tarnish his already fragile reputation, as many of the allegations have been openly discussed before. Polls indicate that public sentiment is not in Andrew’s favor; a recent survey found that two-thirds of Britons want him to lose his royal titles.
Giuffre’s memoir not only serves as her voice from beyond the grave but is also poised to name names that could uncover further scandal within royal circles. With each passing day, the tension around Andrew’s position grows more palpable as the publication date for Giuffre’s revelations draws near.
