"A posthumous memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein's best-known accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has sold 1m copies worldwide in just the two months after its release. Publisher Alfred A Knopf announced on Tuesday that more than half the sales for Nobody's Girl came out of North America; in the US, the book is now in its 10th printing after an initial run of 70,000 copies. Giuffre's book, co-written by author-journalist Amy Wallace, was published in early October."
"The memoir helped revive criticism of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly a British prince, whom Giuffre alleged had sex with her when she was 17. And it heightened demands that the Justice Department release its files on Epstein, who killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Giuffre died by suicide in April at age 41. This is a bittersweet moment for us, Giuffre's family, including siblings Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson, said in a statement."
"Within weeks of Giuffre's book being published, King Charles III stripped Mountbatten-Windsor of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence. Mountbatten-Windsor has long denied Giuffre's claims but stepped down from royal duties after a disastrous November 2019 BBC interview in which he attempted to rebut her allegations. He paid millions in an out-of-court settlement in 2022 after Giuffre filed a civil suit against him in New York."
Nobody's Girl, a posthumous memoir by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, sold one million copies worldwide within two months of release. Publisher Alfred A Knopf reported over half of sales came from North America; the US edition entered its tenth printing after an initial 70,000-copy run. The book, co-written with Amy Wallace and published in early October, intensified public scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and renewed calls for the Justice Department to release files on Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre died by suicide in April at age 41; her family praised her impact while mourning her absence. King Charles III removed Mountbatten-Windsor's remaining titles soon after publication.
