The final version of the book, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, will include her allegations against Robert Giuffre when it is published in the United States on October 21.
According to London’s The Times, the book will include a foreword detailing the alleged abuse Virginia Giuffre claimed to face.
Shortly before her death, Giuffre went public with her claims.
Earlier in 2025, she told People magazine that she was “unable to escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently”, adding, “after my husband’s latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent”.
Robert Giuffre could not be reached for comment by London’s The Telegraph.
When approached by The New York Times about Virginia Giuffre’s claims previously, he declined to comment.

Virginia Giuffre had spent four years working with co-author Amy Wallace on the book and approved the version sent to her by the publishers, Knopf, in October 2024.
In March, she was hospitalised following a car crash in which she shared a picture from a hospital bed, showing her body covered in bruises. After the accident, she reportedly emailed Wallace and her publicist, urging for it to be published “regardless” of the circumstances.
“[It is my] heartfelt wish that this work be published, regardless of my circumstances at the time. 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,” Giuffre reportedly wrote.

However, Dini von Mueffling, her publicist, said that separately, in the weeks before she died, Giuffre claimed she had been pressured into portraying her husband, whom she was in the process of divorcing, in a positive light, making him appear “flawless”.
This, her brothers Roberts and Danny Wilson said, made her feel suicidal.
Texts seen by The Times alleged Robert Giuffre was violent, abusive and “emotionally and physically controlling”.
The book is understood to include references to the Duke of York as well as the abuse Virginia Giuffre suffered during childhood and while she was lured into the late financier Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.

In the wake of the abuse, Giuffre was awarded millions of dollars in compensation, including a substantial payment from the Epstein estate. She also received more than £12 million from Prince Andrew, despite his denying the allegations.
Jordan Pavlin, Knopf’s publisher and editor-in-chief, said: “We worked with Virginia’s brothers and their wives to contextualise the narrative Virginia’s memoir presents, and we appreciate their support of this publication.
“We all believe that Virginia’s voice must be heard, and that her courage in telling her story has the power to offer strength and hope to victims of sexual abuse. Nobody’s Girl is a testament to Virginia’s dignity and fortitude in the face of Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s monstrous cruelty. Its impact will be profound.”
