Virginia Giuffre, known for her allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, revealed in her posthumous memoir that her eagerly anticipated first television interview was never broadcast. The late Epstein accuser claimed this in her book, which was released after she tragically took her own life at the age of 41 last April.

In her memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” Giuffre shared that she felt “overpowered by those I tried to hold accountable.” This revelation came just as King Charles revoked his brother’s royal titles and residence.

Giuffre recounted that every major television network was eager to have an interview with her, eventually leading her to select ABC as her platform of choice.

She detailed her journey from Denver to New York with her three children to sit down with journalist Amy Robach. This was an effort to help her children understand why she was frequently occupied with calls or traveling.

During the lengthy 90-minute interview, Giuffre divulged everything she knew about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s orchestrated sex trafficking operations.

She noted that she disclosed the names of several men, including Andrew, to whom she was allegedly trafficked. Giuffre expressed that she was moved to tears as she recounted certain harrowing experiences of abuse.

‘There was a celebratory feeling in the room’ after the interview was filmed but, Giuffre wrote, the excitement soon turned into worry when its release kept getting delayed. 

‘Finally, someone from the network told my legal team that because I’d told Robach about being trafficked to Prince Andrew, the network had to reach out to Buckingham Palace and an attorney for Epstein,’ she continued. ‘Why that was causing such delays was unclear…But for whatever reason, ABC never aired the interview.’ 

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, Giuffre died by suicide in April this year. She was 41. 

However, the Savannah-born advocate laid bare the extent of abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of the late paedophile, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Andrew in her posthumous memoir. 

She claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times – allegations he has repeatedly and vehemently denied – during that time. 

Ahead of its publication, the disgraced 65-year-old Royal Family member gave up use of his royal titles, including Duke of York, as the memoir’s ghostwriter said Virginia would have seen this as a ‘victory’. 

This was especially after the setbacks she allegedly encountered during her legal battles, including the ABC interview that was never broadcast. 

Explaining what allegedly happened at the time, Giuffre claimed every major TV network ‘wanted to interview me’, adding: ‘We weighed our options and, in the end, chose ABC.’

She said she was a ‘fan of the anchor Amy Robach’ who was working with her producer Jim Hill, ‘a top-notch investigative reporter’. 

She shared how ABC ‘hired two nannies’ for Alex, Tyler, and Ellie, so she could prep for the interview at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel before the interview.

‘I was excited,’ the memoir read. ‘This could be a game changer, I thought.

‘After years of seeing the media as my enemy, I wanted to believe that the media could also help our cause,’ she said, on behalf of Epstein’s accusers.  

When the interview was over, ‘there was a celebratory feeling in the room’, she said. 

Giuffre added: ‘When I reunited with my kids that night, I told them, “Your mom did a good job today.”

‘Then the waiting began,’ she continued, explaining that the broadcast kept getting delayed. 

‘We were strung along for weeks, with no explanation for the delay,’ the memoir read.

‘Finally, someone from the network told my legal team that because I’d told Robach about being trafficked to Prince Andrew, the network had to reach out to Buckingham Palace and an attorney for Epstein.

‘Why that was causing such delays was unclear,’ the book continued. ‘Robach and her producer were outraged. ‘But for whatever reason, ABC never aired the interview.’

A footnote in the harrowing memoir described former ABC journalist Robach’s ‘hot mic’ moment when she was filmed saying that lawyers for the paedophile financier and the Firm ‘applied pressure to nix the interview’. 

‘Robach said that “every day I get more and more p****d” that her interview with me didn’t air and that “what we had was unreal”,’ it read. 

‘In the recording, Robach said that she was told by higher-ups, “Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No-one knows who that is. This is a stupid story”. 

Giuffre also claimed ABC ‘feared losing access to Prince William and Kate Middleton’ in the future. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Robach and ABC News for comment.  

At the time, Robach described the video as having captured a ‘private moment of frustration’ in a statement that read: ‘The interview itself, while I was disappointed it didn’t air, didn’t meet our standards. 

‘In the years since no one ever told me or the team to stop reporting on Jeffrey Epstein, and we have continued to aggressively pursue this important story.’ 

ABC News also said ‘not all of our reporting met our standards to air’ at the time. 

Giuffre wrote this setback on her quest for justice against her abusers left her feeling despondent.

‘I’d been defeated once again by the people I was trying to speak out against.  

‘And I couldn’t help wonder, if a media giant like ABC could be shut down in its attempts to reveal the truth, was there any hope for survivors like me?’

Giuffre would wait four years for the opportunity to tell her story on TV. 

When she finally sat down opposite Samantha Guthrie along with five other Epstein accusers for NBC’s Dateline, Giuffre described in detail how she was allegedly forced to have sex with Andrew in 2001 when she was 17. 

The alleged encounter reportedly took place at Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s London townhouse after the royal gave her vodka at a nightclub. 

Andrew has repeatedly and vehemently denied Guiffre’s accusations, calling them ‘false’ and ‘without foundation’ and saying ‘any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is ‘categorically untrue’.

‘He was an abuser. He was a participant,’ she told the Dateline programme.

 ‘The first time in London, I was so young. Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and said, “You’re gonna meet a prince today.”

‘I didn’t know at that point that I was going to be trafficked to a prince,’ she said.

Although he denies Giuffre’s account, Andrew settled a US civil case she lodged for a reported £12million, reportedly receiving money from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to help meet the costs.

It comes after King Charles sensationally stripped Andrew, 65, of all his titles and the home where he lived with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, announcing his decision in a clinically cold statement. 

The Palace added pointedly: ‘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.’ 

Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew in August 2021, seeking unspecified damages for battery, including rape, and the infliction of emotional distress.

She alleged that she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times when she was just 17 years old under the orders of the late paedophile.

This newspaper previously revealed how Andrew told the Met Police to dig up dirt on Giuffre by handing over her confidential social security number and date of birth to his taxpayer-funded police protection officer.

The Met is ‘actively looking into the claims made’.

Ahead of Giuffre’s memoir being published, Andrew agreed to give up his royal titles – including Duke of York. 

Speaking to Newsnight afterwards, the ghostwriter of Nobody’s Girl, Amy Wallace, said his ‘life is being eroded because of his past behaviour’. 

Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire about what she thought of Andrew relinquishing his titles, Amy said: ‘I can speak for Virginia.

‘I know that she would view it as a victory that he was forced, by whatever means, to voluntarily give them up.

‘For many, maybe particularly in the United States, but maybe even in the UK, it’s a symbolic gesture, but it’s an important one.

‘It’s made history, modern history, in terms of the royal era. I mean it… I’ve never heard of such a thing happening, and it is also just a step in the right direction.

‘You know, Virginia wanted all the men who she’d been trafficked to against her will to be held to account.

‘And this is just one of the men, but he is being forced to, even though he continues to deny it, his life is being eroded because of his past behaviour, as it should be.’

It comes after King Charles officially announced Andrew would be stripped of his ‘Prince’ title and be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor with immediate effect.

 In a bombshell announcement, His Majesty also confirmed Andrew has been ‘served notice’ to leave the Royal Lodge and ‘move to alternative private accommodation’.
