Prince Andrew is under renewed pressure to come forward with information about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network, as the co-author of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir Nobody’s Girl called on him to “share everything he knows.”
Amy Wallace, who spent four years writing the book with Giuffre before her death earlier this year, told BBC Newsnight that the Duke of York once “indicated he was willing to help investigators in the US” but was “never available, for some reason.”
“That’s something he could still do,” Wallace said. “He could say, as he has repeatedly, ‘I still deny that I was involved… however, I was in these houses, I was on that island, and I saw things. I know how much these women have suffered, and I would like to share what I saw.’”
The book, released in the UK on Tuesday, sheds new light on Giuffre’s allegations that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions — claims the prince has consistently denied.
Wallace described Andrew’s decision to relinquish his royal titles, including Duke of York and membership in the Order of the Garter, as “a symbolic victory” for Giuffre, adding that the move marked “a step in the right direction” for accountability.
“Even though he continues to deny it, his life is being eroded because of his past behaviour — as it should be,” Wallace said.
Calls are growing for the prince to cooperate fully with US authorities investigating Epstein’s global sex trafficking ring.
Government minister Peter Kyle told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that “anybody who has information that could bring justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes should engage with investigators.”
Conservative MP Robert Jenrick echoed the sentiment, urging Prince Andrew to “leave public life forever” and “lead an entirely private life,” adding that “the public are sick of Prince Andrew and the damage he’s done to the reputation of the Royal Family.”
Giuffre’s memoir describes a “web of rich and powerful men” who abused young women within Epstein’s circle. At the centre of that network was Epstein himself and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
Wallace told the BBC that Epstein’s private jets had been modified to include multiple bedrooms, describing them as “flying trafficking agents.”
“Prince Andrew was on at least one of those jets, if not more,” Wallace claimed. “If he truly acknowledges the pain of these women, as he once said, he should now act on it.”
Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting sex from a minor and died in 2019 while awaiting trial on further trafficking charges.
Wallace said Giuffre wrote her book to help others find the courage to speak up:
“She deserves all credit for being brave enough to stand up and say, ‘this isn’t right.’”
