A posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre accuses the Duke of York of being 'entitled - as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright,' according to extracts published in the Guardian newspaper.
The book, Nobody's Girl, written by the prominent accuser of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is due to be published next week, almost six months after Ms Giuffre took her own life.
Her book, which calls Epstein a 'master manipulator', describes three occasions where she alleges Prince Andrew had sex with her, including at Ghislaine Maxwell's house in London.
It's further embarrassment for Prince Andrew, who reached a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre in 2022, and has always denied any wrongdoing.
Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, is the testimony of Ms Giuffre, who died by suicide in Australia in April, in a book co-written with author Amy Wallace. Ms Giuffre, who met Jeffrey Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell, claimed that she was one of many vulnerable girls and young women who had been sexually exploited by Epstein and his circle of wealthy connections.
The powerful friends were claimed to include Prince Andrew and the extract published in the Guardian gives her account of when they met in London in March 2001, when she was aged 17.
She describes her experience of being woken by Ghislaine Maxwell, who promised a day 'just like Cinderella', before meeting Andrew, who guessed her age correctly as 17, and offered comments on his daughters being just a little younger than her.
Giuffre recounts the encounter, detailing a notable photograph taken with Andrew, followed by dinner and a visit to a nightclub where she described him as a 'bumbling dancer'.
She reported feeling his 'entitled' demeanor as he acted as if sexual interaction was his prerogative, which she claims involved intimate behavior and financial compensation from Epstein afterwards.
Giuffre also revisits the other sexual encounters she described with Andrew, including occasions at Epstein's townhouse and private island.
In her recollections, she highlights the nefarious nature of Epstein's behavior and the exploitation of vulnerable girls like herself. Giuffre expressed her struggles with mental health and the effects of her experiences with Epstein.
After leaving Epstein's influence, she resettled in Australia with her family, tragically taking her life at 41. Prince Andrew has consistently denied the accusations against him, reaffirming his past denials during interviews and asserting his lack of recollection of meeting Giuffre.
With each revelation from Giuffre's memoir, the complications of Prince Andrew's past association with Epstein cast a long shadow over the royal family.
