Virginia Giuffre told me in 2001 she slept with Prince Andrew, witness says

Carolyn Andriano, who testified in the trial of sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in New York last month, has claimed that Virginia Giuffre told her in 2001 that she slept with Prince Andrew.

Andriano, then 14 and living in Florida, said she was texted by Giuffre (formerly Virginia Roberts, before her marriage) in 2001 from London, who claimed she had slept with the prince.

Andriano told the Mail that Giuffre sent a picture of her with the prince by text. The Guardian was unable to immediately verify the claims independently.

Representatives for the prince declined to comment, according to the Mail.

Andriano waived her right to anonymity for the Mail interview.
