Virginia Giuffre is to publish a memoir from beyond the grave: Prince Andrew’s sex abuse accuser’s autobiography called ‘Nobody’s Girl’ is to hit shelves in a matter of weeks

Prince Andrew’s sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre is to publish a bombshell tell-all memoir from beyond the grave. 

The self-penned autobiography called ‘Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice’ is expected to hit the shelves in the US on October 21. 

Ms Giuffre’s book, which will be published six months after she died by suicide at her home in Australia, is set to heap more bad news on the disgraced Duke of York. 

She was one of the most prominent victims of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and claimed she was trafficked for sex at 17, including to Prince Andrew.

The Duke of York denied the claims but reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 for an undisclosed sum, reportedly about $16million. 

It is understood that Ms Giuffre’s book was finished more than a year ago but its release date was delayed due to her health issues. 

However, a spokesperson for Knopf, which is a division of Penguin Random House, confirmed on Sunday that Nobody’s Girl would be published this autumn. 

They revealed the memoir contains intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about Ms Giuffre’s time with Epstein and his many friends, including Prince Andrew. 

Meanwhile, editor-in-chief Jordan Pavlin described the 400-page book as a ‘raw and shocking journey and the story of a fierce spirit struggling to break free’. 

Knopf’s statement also included an email from Ms Giuffre to the author-journalist she worked on the book with – Amy Wallace – in the weeks before her death. 

The message said it was her ‘heartfelt wish’ the memoir be released ‘regardless’ of her circumstances.

‘The content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders,’ the email reads. 

‘It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.’

Ms Giuffre had been hospitalized following a serious accident March 24, Knopf said, and sent the email on April 1 just weeks before she died on April 25.

‘In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that NOBODY’S GIRL is still released,’ she wrote to Wallace. 

‘I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices.’ 

In 2023, the New York Post reported that Ms Giuffre had reached a deal ‘believed to be worth millions’ with an undisclosed publisher.

Knopf spokesperson Todd Doughty said that she initially agreed to a seven-figure contract with Penguin Press, but moved with acquiring editor Emily Cunningham after Knopf hired Cunningham as executive editor last year.

Ms Giuffre had stated often that, in the early 2000s, when she was a teenager, she was caught up in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring and exploited by Prince Andrew and other influential men.

Epstein was found dead in a New York City jail cell in 2019 in what investigators described as a suicide. 

His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted in late 2021 on sex trafficking and other charges.

Andrew had denied Ms Giuffre’s allegations but in 2022, the pair reached an out-of-court settlement after she had sued him for sexual assault.

The disgraced duke has since become embroiled in a number of other scandals, including over alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo.

Attempts to force him out of Royal Lodge, where he has lived for the past 20 years have failed, and he was also banished from Christmas at Sandringham last year. 

And just this morning, Prince Andrew was seen driving away from Balmoral, hours before the royals gathered at Crathie Kirk for the annual service.

The publication of Ms Giuffre’s memoir also comes after the duke was heavily criticised in a book penned by Andrew Lownie and serialised by the Mail, called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.

In the explosive new biography that came out earlier this month, it is alleged that Prince Andrew was dubbed ‘sex obsessed’ and a ‘perverted animal’ by Epstein.

There was even a long-standing rumour of an affair with a household staff member when he was still married to the Duchess of York.

One nanny is said to have left because he made unwelcome advances.

However, a family friend also described the prince as ‘not very socially adept’ and a ‘bedroom bore’ when it comes to women.

‘He’s about as subtle as a hand grenade,’ said another.

As a young man Andrew was said to be juvenile and fond of sly pranks – and sources said he has not changed much as an adult.

One friend described him as a ‘nightmare to sit next to at dinner’, making ghastly jokes about whether the ladies are wearing knickers and ‘lavatorial’ jokes.

At the same time he has a strong sense of of his own position as a senior member of the Royal Family, demanding people call him ‘Your Royal Highness’ and ‘Sir’ and insisting people stand up when he comes into the room.

Some aides have been reduced to tears, while another was moved to different duties because Andrew ‘disliked a mole on the man’s face’.

Former prime minister Boris Johnson was said to have remarked after being forced to dine with Andrew: ‘I’m the last person to be a republican but, f***, if I ever have to spend another lunch like that, I soon will be.’
