Prince Andrew 'gagged' Virginia Giuffre to stop her tarnishing the Queen's platinum jubilee, memoir claims [View all]

Prince Andrew insisted that his sexual abuse accuser, Virginia Giuffre, agree to a one-year gag order to avoid undermining Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee in 2022, her memoirs have revealed. Andrew relinquished the use of his titles and honours on Friday, including his Duke of York title, after facing mounting pressure from King Charles following the long-lasting Epstein scandal.

In her posthumous memoir released next Tuesday, Ms Giuffre exposes details of further attention on the allegations of abuse against the disgraced prince and his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

She tells how Andrew's disastrous Newsnight interview was like an "injection of jet fuel" for her legal team, and it raised the possibility of "subpoenaing" his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and drawing them into the legal case, according to The Telegraph.

Ms Giuffre said she got "more out of" Andrew than a reported 12-million-dollar payout and two-million-dollar donation to her charity because she had "an acknowledgement that I and many other women had been victimised and a tacit pledge to never deny it again".
