Virginia Giuffre ‘would view Prince Andrew giving up titles as a victory’
Giuffre’s co-author says Andrew dropping titles an ‘important step’
- The co-author of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, Amy Wallace, says that Ms Giuffre would have considered Prince Andrew relinquishing his royal titles a victory.
- Ms Wallace called the move a symbolic but important step in holding men accountable.
- Andrew announced he had given up the use of his royal titles and honours amid scrutiny over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, days before the publication of Ms Giuffre's book.
- Ms Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, alleged that she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times after being trafficked by Epstein; Andrew has denied the allegations.
- Ms Wallace said that Andrew relinquishing his titles had “made history” and was “a step in the right direction”.
