Virginia Giuffre’s upcoming memoir is revealing new details about her alleged encounters with Britain’s Prince Andrew.

In an excerpt from her posthumously published book, “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, describes her first interaction with Andrew in 2001.

Giuffre recounts meeting the Duke of York at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London townhouse in March of that year, when she was 17 and Andrew was 41.

According to the excerpts obtained by The Times of London, Giuffre says she was initially excited when Maxwell — who was later found guilty of recruiting victims for sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — told her that she would be meeting the prince. She writes in the book about feeling “like Cinderella.”

However, when Andrew arrived, Guiffre claims Maxwell enlisted the prince to play “a game” where he was asked to guess the girl’s age, which she says he “guessed correctly.”

“My daughters (Eugenie and Beatrice) are just a little younger than you,” the royal allegedly told her at the time.

Later that night, Guiffre claims she and the royal had sex in the bathroom at Maxwell’s home. Reflecting on the encounter, Giuffre writes that in the years since, she “thought a lot about how he behaved,” saying that while he was “friendly enough,” he acted “entitled” — as if he believed having sex with her “was his birthright.”

Giuffre also claims that Epstein, whom she was allegedly introduced to while working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, paid her $15,000 to have sex with multiple people on his private island, including himself and “the man the tabloids called ‘Randy Andy.’”

In 2022, Prince Andrew ultimately reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre on a lawsuit in which she accused of him of sexual abuse. The settlement included a statement in which Andrew expressed regret for his association with Epstein, though he continued to deny any wrongdoing.

“It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others,” the statement read. “He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims.”

Giuffre’s upcoming memoir was reportedly completed a year ago, with her saying that she wanted it published, even in the event of her death.

“Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” is set to be released on Oct. 21.
