'17? My daughters are... Just a little younger than you'

Virginia Giuffre's new book claims Andrew compared her to princesses before sex

- BY JENNIFER NEWTON Deputy Royal Editor

PRINCE Andrew told Virginia Giuffre “my daughters are just a little younger than you” on the night they allegedly first had sex when she was 17, her posthumous memoir claims.

Ms Giuffre, who died by suicide in April aged 41, wrote that the duke was asked to guess her age at their alleged first meeting at Ghislaine Maxwell's London pad in 2001.

The book says he correctly picked 17 before comparing her to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - then 12 and 10.

The memoir, Nobody's Girl, which is released next week, details three occasions when Ms Giuffre claimed she was trafficked to have sex with the disgraced duke.

It also claims Andrew acted “entitled”, as if sex with her was his “birthright”. The prince strongly denies any wrongdoing.
