Recently, never-before-seen interview footage featuring Virginia Giuffre has emerged, just days after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor lost his royal title as a prince.
In the interview, which was broadcast on the U.K.’s BBC Panorama on November 4, Giuffre recounted her alleged interactions with Andrew.
“I felt like a toy, passed around,” she stated in the footage, which was recorded in 2019. “But I was a human being with emotions, feelings, and a sense of sadness. It was baffling to know that this man, who had daughters, could still abuse me. It just doesn’t add up.”
Giuffre, who tragically took her own life earlier this year, claimed to have had several sexual encounters with Andrew beginning in 2001 when she was a minor. Since her allegations became public in 2019, Andrew has consistently denied them. It is alleged that Andrew met Giuffre through his association with the late billionaire and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
“He knows what happened, I know what happened,” Giuffre stated in the interview. “And there’s only one of us telling the truth.”
Following Giuffre’s initial allegations, Andrew appeared on BBC’s Newsnight for a now-infamous interview with journalist Emily Maitlis. The disgraced former royal family member claimed that he had “no recollection” of ever meeting Giuffre during the interview, despite there being a photo of them together.
In the wake of the interview, Andrew stepped back from his royal duties. Then, in 2021, Giuffre sued him for sexual abuse. They settled outside of court the following year.
Andrew’s connection to Epstein has continued to make headlines, coming to a head earlier this year.
Andrew previously stated that he had cut off all contact with the late Epstein in 2010. However, emails between the two from 2011 surfaced last month. Then, an excerpt from Giuffre’s posthumously released memoir was published, detailing her alleged first encounter with Andrew.
The former Duke of York announced in a statement on October 17 that he would be giving up his royal titles as the scandal continued. Giuffre’s memoir, which was officially released on October 21, included more claims against Andrew — alleging that they had three sexual encounters together.
By the end of October, King Charles III officially stripped Andrew of his prince title and evicted his brother from the Royal Lodge.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,” Buckingham Palace shared in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, October 30. “Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
The statement added, “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
