Virginia Giuffre has publicly alleged that Prince Andrew sexually abused her on multiple occasions when she was a teenager trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and controlled by Ghislaine Maxwell, and that he treated sex with her as an entitled “birthright.” Prince Andrew has consistently and unequivocally denied all allegations and reached a 2022 civil settlement with Giuffre without any admission of liability.

Key Allegations She Made

  • Giuffre has said in court filings and interviews that she was directed by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions when she was around 17–18, including in London, New York, and on Epstein’s private island.
  • She has described Andrew as “friendly enough, but still entitled,” writing that he acted “as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.”
  • In her memoir, she recounts being paid by Epstein after “servicing” Andrew and frames these encounters as part of her being trafficked and abused within Epstein’s network.

How She Spoke About Him Publicly

  • Outside a U.S. court hearing in Epstein’s criminal case, Giuffre said she would “never be silenced” until those she accuses, including Andrew, were “brought to justice,” and said of him: “He knows exactly what he’s done.”
  • She has portrayed him as a powerful man who exploited her vulnerability as a trafficked minor, tying his behavior to broader systemic failures around Epstein’s abuse.

Prince Andrew’s Response

  • Andrew has repeatedly stated that “nothing happened” and that he has “no recollection whatsoever” of ever meeting Giuffre, rejecting her version of events in high‑profile interviews.
  • In 2022, he settled Giuffre’s civil lawsuit in the U.S.; the settlement included a payment and a statement expressing regret over his association with Epstein but did not include any admission of wrongdoing toward Giuffre.

Recent / “Latest News” Angle

  • Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, published in 2025, has put her allegations back into the spotlight by giving more detailed narrative accounts of the alleged encounters and Andrew’s behavior.
  • After publication and renewed public pressure, King Charles stripped Andrew of all royal titles, and Giuffre’s family publicly hailed this as a “victory,” saying she had helped “bring down” the former prince.
