Virginia Giuffre has stated that she was 17 years old at the time she was with Prince Andrew in 2001, and that the first alleged encounter took place in March 2001, about five months before her 18th birthday.

Age and timing

  • Virginia Giuffre was born on August 9, 1983, in Sacramento, California.
  • She has alleged that she was trafficked to Prince Andrew when she was 17, with the first encounter in March 2001, which is consistent with being a minor at that time (about 17 years and 7 months old).

How this is usually described

  • Major news outlets and reference works describe her as being 17 when she says she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, emphasizing that she was under the age of 18.
  • Prince Andrew has consistently denied these allegations, and the civil lawsuit in the United States was settled in 2022 without an admission of liability, so the claims remain legally unproven even though they are widely reported.
