Virginia Giuffre claimed she was forced to stay silent for the sake of the Queen.
In her memoir, Prince Andrew's sexual abuse accuser revealed she was given a court order to avoid discussing the allegations during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Giuffre - who died by suicide in April - exposed the alleged wrongdoings of the prince and his relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which comes out October 19.

"I agreed to a one-year gag order, which seemed important to the prince because it ensured that his mother's platinum jubilee would not be tarnished any more than it already had been," she detailed in her book.
The same year of the Queen's big milestone, a U.S. judge allowed the civil case to proceed, and Elizabeth stripped Andrew of his military titles.
Prince Andrew's Newsnight Interview

In her upcoming memoir, Giuffre also detailed how Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview was an "injection of jet fuel" for her legal team that raised the idea of potentially "subpoenaing" his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. In the 2019 conversation with Emily Maitlis, the prince shockingly revealed he "did not regret" his friendship with Epstein, who reportedly trafficked Giuffre. He said he had "no recollection" of meeting the California native in 2001 and presented an alibi, alleging he was at Pizza Express with his daughter Beatrice during the day in question. Giuffre claimed Andrew coaxed her into having s-- three times, including at age 17 after being exploited by Epstein.

The former duke paid his accuser a large sum of money to settle the civil sexual assault case with her in 2022.
He and Giuffre reached a "settlement in principle" of her claims, per court documents filed in February of that year. The now-65-year-old also made a "substantial donation to Ms Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights" and vowed to "demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein" by supporting the "fight against the evils of s-- trafficking, and by supporting its victims," legal papers read.

Giuffre believed she got "more out of" Andrew than $12 million and a $2 million donation to her charity because she had "an acknowledgment that I and many other women had been victimized and a tacit pledge to never deny it again."
