BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY BRACES FOR NEW ALLEGATIONS AGAINST PRINCE ANDREW
The royal family is preparing to face new, posthumous accusations against Prince Andrew. The revelations are set to come from the memoir of Virginia Giuffre, the woman who had accused the Duke of York of sexual abuse before taking her own life in Australia in April.
The British royal family is bracing for another potential scandal involving Prince Andrew. The new "shocking" allegations are contained in a posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser of the Duke of York. According to UK tabloids, Giuffre, who took her own life in April, will have her book, titled Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published on October 21.
Giuffre, a victim of the late American financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, had previously reached a multi-million dollar out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew, which spared him from a civil trial. Despite the settlement, the Daily Mail suggests the memoir promises a "revenge from beyond the grave," targeting the prince, whose standing in the royal family has been severely damaged by the Epstein scandal and other controversies.
Sources close to the court reportedly fear the book will contain revelations even more shocking than what has already been made public. This concern comes even after Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted partner, attempted to exonerate the prince in recent depositions from her U.S. prison cell.
Prince Andrew, who is currently at Balmoral for the royal family's traditional summer vacation, has been keeping a low profile and avoiding public appearances with other family members. His reputation was also recently highlighted in the biography The Rise and Fall of the House of York, by Andrew Lownie, extracts of which were published in the Mail in recent weeks.
