Britain's Prince Andrew finds himself back in the spotlight following Virginia Giuffre's memoir release, which delivers fresh allegations linking him to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. The book revives accusations that Andrew, aged 65, engaged in sexual activities with Giuffre when she was a minor, claims he has repeatedly denied.

Giuffre's memoir, titled 'Nobody's Girl,' outlines three occasions where she was allegedly coerced into sexual encounters with Andrew. The allegations describe encounters in various locations, including the home of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate. The release has renewed questions about Andrew's past actions and contributed to his public downfall.

Amid the controversy, Prince Andrew has seen his royal roles diminished and affiliations severed. His recent decision to renounce the title 'Duke of York' furthers the distancing from his previous stature. Meanwhile, investigations continue into new claims of improper conduct, keeping the embattled royal in the public eye.
