Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Jemna, Emma Gillespie, editor in chief at The Daily Oz,
and everyone's talking about Nobody's Girl. This is the posthumous
book written by Virginia Virginia Giufrey.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, this week we've had that book released posthumously. Of course,
as you mentioned, jones Us, Virginia Gufrey, the woman who
has long accused Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of rape
and sex trafficking. She died earlier this year by suicide
at the age of forty one, but she leaves behind
this book, which is this raw account of you know,
(00:33):
detailing a life of abuse and the systems that failed her.
It was co written with a journalist called Amy Wallace,
who said that Jufrey insisted the book be released no
matter what happened to her, even if she passed away.
And it opens kind of by directly addressing the fact
that it's going to be a hard read for the audience.
She says, I know it's a lot to take in,
(00:54):
but please don't stop reading. That's how it all starts.
And then, you know, describes years of sexual abuse, first
as a child Virginia Guprey ledge as her father abused her.
He denies that, and then we move into the sex
trafficking as a teenager, she alleges by Jeffrey Epstein and
Glaine Maxwell.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
She was a perfect target for them because of her vulnerability.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Exactly which the kind of setup of learning more about
her childhood I think paints a new picture of what
she had been through to that point. But Glaine Maxwell,
she said, was a molestor with posh manners and an
aristocratic pedigree, who groomed her and recruited her at Marra Lago,
the Trump owned resort. Giffrey writes she was haunted by
(01:37):
Epstein and Maxwell right through her life. She still feared
them both, but she said the worst of it wasn't
the physical abuse. She said, it was the psychological abuse
from the start. They manipulated me into participating in behaviors
that ate away at me, eroding my ability to comprehend reality,
preventing me from defending myself. She believed she might die
(01:57):
a sex slave all these years now. Of course, it
was the Epstein friendship with Prince Andrew that has been
the subject of all of this debate and tension and
controversy over the last ten years. The memoir describes when
Virginia met Prince Andrew. She said he was friendly enough
but still entitled, as if he believed having sex with
me was his birthright. Now the royal family obviously knew
(02:21):
this memoir was coming out. We had some leaked emails
over the weekend in the sort of fallout of Prince
Andrew denouncing his ties or his royal titles. I suppose
he's the Dukedom, the dukedom. He's kept the princedom, but
he's ditched the dukedom. Leaked emails that suggest he was
in cahoots with his security and police trying to dig
(02:42):
up dirt on Virginia Drew Fray. Obviously it has to
be said these are all alleged wrongdoings. He's continued to
deny any involvement or that he even ever met Virginia.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Although he did pay her a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Exactly he settled with her out of court some years ago,
but has never admitted.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
To any Look at that if you someone had an
accusation towards me and that I'd never met them, I
wouldn't pay them many money.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But also, isn't there an email that's been revealed that
he sent to Jeffrey Epstein when that photo came out
of him with Virginia Guffray Giffrey, where he says, oh, well,
I guess we're both in this. Let's together. He doesn't
deny that the photograph exists, which he has since.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And the emails are so damning that we're leaked over
the weekend that the Met Police in London are investigating there,
taking that very seriously and they're looking into it so
they could yet be criminal charges to come for Prince Andrew.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But there's massive scrutiny now in the UK. You know
what the tabloids are like there. They're really going for him.
With this posthumous memoir coming out. It's been revealed that
he's still living at the Royal Lodge in Winsor, this
thirty bedroom mansion where apparently he's paying one pound a
year in rent as part of a seventy five year
(03:54):
lease that allows him to stay there until twenty seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Even the other Royals pay rent and he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well exactly, So the push now is to get him
out of the house. Apparently there's a group of MPs
and politicians in UK Parliament saying we need to legally
strip him of the titles, including Prince. So even though
he's voluntarily ditched the dukedom and the other random titles
that no one's ever heard of over here, he still
kind of legally has a claim. So MPs there want
(04:20):
that to be dealt with in Parliament. I mean, it's
causing massive headaches for King Charles. Apparently William was the
one who really pushed him to get this done now.
But I think this is really just the beginning of
a new chapter of this scandal for the royal family
and for Prince Andrew.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
That Prince the King is palming it all off. Prince William,
he's putting that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
All I want to say is a modern monarchy. We
do a lot of work in sexual trafficking, et cetera.
We cannot have Andrew being the centerpiece.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, the royal family, they can't have this long list
of what's his face, royals that aren't doing any work
in the public community, on the.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Public Excuse me, that's Prince Wat's his face. M thank you.
I'm looking forward to reading this book. It's going to
be a hard going but fascinating Thank you. M Gillespie.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
