Prince Andrew's sex accuser is set to release an 'unsparing' memoir from beyond the grave.

The 'intimate' tome by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre will be published this autumn, six months after she died.

Ms Giuffre sued Andrew, claiming he sexually assaulted her when she was 17 and under the spell of paedophile financier Epstein. The duke settled out of court but has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice is scheduled for release in October, with the 400-page manuscript finished before Ms Giuffre took her own life.

The book contains 'intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, fellow sex trafficker Ghislaine 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', publishers Alfred A Knopf said.

The announcement included an email to author-journalist Amy Wallace a few weeks before Ms Giuffre's death, saying that it was her 'heartfelt wish' the memoir be released 'regardless' of her circumstances.

Sent while Ms Giuffre was in hospital, following disputed claims that a car crash had left her with kidney failure, it said: 'The 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.

'It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.

'In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that Nobody's Girl is still released. I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices.'

The email was sent on April 1. Ms Giuffre died, aged 41, on April 25.

More than three years after Prince Andrew, 65, finalised the civil case brought against him in New York for a reported £12 million, the allegations harking back to 2001 continue to dog him.

Ms Giuffre had long said she was flown from Florida to London by Epstein and Maxwell, a university friend of Andrew's. She alleged that, after a night at Mayfair hotspot Tramp, the pair had sex in Maxwell's mews home, where they had been photographed earlier that night.

There were two further allegations about trysts at Epstein's New York home and his private island in the Caribbean.
