Prince Andrew reportedly informed convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that he may have come across Virginia Giuffre, the individual accusing him. This contradicts Andrew’s previous statement during a damaging 2019 interview where he denied ever meeting Giuffre. Despite her claims of being trafficked by Epstein and having engaged in sexual activities with Andrew at the age of 17, the royal has consistently refuted any allegations. Andrew even suggested that a photo showing himself, Giuffre, and Ghislaine Maxwell could have been doctored.
In a 2011 message to Epstein, Andrew expressed uncertainty about meeting Giuffre, stating, “Categoric denial of Sexual Relations. Possible that I met her in a group with others and possible there is a photograph.” He criticized the media for their coverage, accusing them of sensationalism. Andrew vehemently maintains his innocence, stating, “Not bothered any further about it but will keep watch.”
Recent disclosures have arisen following Prince Andrew’s decision to relinquish his titles, including the Duke of York, due to his continued communication with Epstein post-conviction. Allegations also suggest that he tasked his Met Police bodyguard with gathering damaging information on Giuffre. Giuffre’s upcoming book, “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” set for release soon, is expected to delve into her alleged experiences. The book was published posthumously after her death earlier this year.
