Virginia Roberts Giuffre said she was 17 when she first met the Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, during a March 2001 trip to London with convicted sex offender Epstein and his alleged associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Ghislaine tells me that I have to do for Andrew what I do for Jeffrey and that made me sick,” she told BBC Panorama during Monday’s hour-long special, "The Prince and the Epstein Scandal.”
I just didn’t expect it from royalty
Giuffre said she had met Andrew in the night at Maxwell’s London home, where Epstein was also present, before the quartet went to the Tramp nightclub.
“We went into the VIP section. There was no waiting in the lines obviously, you were with a Prince. Andrew asked me what I wanted to drink and I said, ‘Something from the bar.’ He had something clear, I know mine was vodka.”
After the nightclub, Maxwell allegedly issued the orders, and Giuffre’s night with Andrew started with a bath, she said.

“Well there was a bath and it started there and then it led into the bedroom and it didn’t last very long, the whole, entire procedure. It was disgusting. He wasn’t mean or anything but he got up and said, ‘Thanks,’” she said.
I sat there in bed just horrified and ashamed and felt dirty
A spokesperson for Royal Communications said in a statement to FOX Business the duke "unequivocally regrets" his association with Epstein.
"Epstein’s suicide left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims. The Duke deeply sympathizes with those affected who want some form of closure," the statement reads. "It is his hope that, in time, they will be able to rebuild their lives. The Duke is willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required."

The spokesperson also "emphatically denied" reports that Andrew ever had any sort of relationship with Giuffre.
