before she took her own life in April<\/a>, the publisher Alfred A Knopf said.<\/p>\nPrince Andrew has denied Giuffre\u2019s allegations. In 2022, Giuffre and the prince reached an out-of-court settlement after she sued him for sexual assault.<\/p>\n
Knopf\u2019s statement includes an email Giuffre wrote to Wallace 25 days before her death, stating that it was her \u201cheartfelt wish\u201d the memoir be released \u201cregardless\u201d of her circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders,\u201d the email reads. \u201cIt is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giuffre had been hospitalised after a serious accident on 24 March, Knopf said, and sent the email on 1 April. She died on 25 April at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that Nobody\u2019s Girl is still released. I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices,\u201d she wrote to Wallace.<\/p>\n
Knopf\u2019s statement says the book contains \u201cintimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, Maxwell and their many well-known friends, including Prince Andrew, about whom she speaks publicly for the first time since their out-of-court settlement in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knopf editor-in-chief, Jordan Pavlin, said Nobody\u2019s Girl was a \u201craw and shocking\u201d journey and \u201cthe story of a fierce spirit struggling to break free\u201d.<\/p>\n
In 2023, the New York Post reported that Giuffre had reached a deal \u201cbelieved to be worth millions\u201d with an undisclosed publisher.<\/p>\n
Knopf spokesperson Todd Doughty told AP that she initially agreed to a seven-figure contract with Penguin Press, but moved with acquiring editor Emily Cunningham after she was hired by Knopf as executive editor last year.<\/p>\n
Doughty declined to provide further details about the Epstein associates featured in Nobody\u2019s Girl, but confirmed that Giuffre made \u201cno allegations of abuse against [Donald] Trump\u201d, who continues to face questions about the disgraced financier and his former friend.<\/p>\n
Nobody\u2019s Girl is distinct from Giuffre\u2019s unpublished memoir The Billionaire\u2019s Playboy Club, referenced in previous court filings and unsealed in 2019. Through Doughty, Wallace says she began working with Giuffre on a new memoir in spring 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody\u2019s Girl was both vigorously fact-checked and legally vetted,\u201d a Knopf statement reads.<\/p>\n
Giuffre\u2019s co-author on her memoir, Wallace, is an award-winning magazine and newspaper reporter whose work has appeared in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, among other publications.<\/p>\n
A representative for Andrew did not immediately return the AP\u2019s request for comment. Buckingham Palace was asked for comment.<\/p>\n
