Prince Andrew’s long shadowed past has finally caught up with him, culminating in his decision to relinquish his royal titles on October 17th amid mounting allegations and public scrutiny.
Central to the fallout is the powerful posthumous testimony of Virginia Giuffre, whose memoir Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice shines a spotlight on the Prince’s alleged misconduct and his controversial association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In the memoir, Giuffre reveals that Andrew allegedly used a “code name” to conceal his identity during encounters with trafficked women.
She recounts, “Since I gave that account, the pilot has said in a deposition that a coded notation (‘AP’) that he made on his flight log for 4 Jul, 2001, referred to Prince Andrew.
He [the pilot] said that Epstein, the Prince, another woman, and I flew from Saint Thomas that day back to Palm Beach.” The incident involved multiple women, though Giuffre could not fully recall the events at the time.
Giuffre also detailed two additional alleged encounters with Andrew while being trafficked by Epstein.
She claimed their first meeting occurred in 2001 in London, when she was just 17 and Andrew was 41.
Shockingly, she said Andrew allegedly remarked, “My daughters are just a little younger,” in reference to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were then 12 and 11.
Virginia Giuffre’s revelations also touched on the involvement of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, claiming that the York sisters allegedly met Jeffrey Epstein at a young age.
According to reports, including one by the Daily Mail, the princesses were just 9 and 8 when they first encountered Epstein, whom their mother, Sarah Ferguson, referred to as “nice Jeffrey.”
While the sisters would later visit Epstein’s infamous private island, Little Saint James, the earliest documented interaction appears in a 1998 flight log.
The entry, listed as “Princess Sarah Ferguson and kids,” suggests that the young royals were in Epstein’s orbit from an early age, highlighting the troubling reach of the disgraced financier.
