The Duke of York Prosecutor Virginia Giuffre is expected to publish her own memoir after signing a book deal believed to be worth millions, according to multiple sources. If correct, this could be the “reason”. king Charles made the decision to kick his younger brother out of his posh suite at Buckingham Palace, a psychiatrist who specializes in sexual abuse cases told Express.co.uk.
Ms Giuffre, who has claimed she was sexually assaulted by Andrew on three occasions when she was 17, agreed to a multimillion-pound settlement with the Duke signing a one-year agreement that neither would discuss the matter publicly. The Duke of York has repeatedly and vehemently rejected her allegations against him and the settlement was not an admission of guilt.
Now, a year later, sources tell the New York Post that she has signed a book deal worth “millions”. It comes after Andrew was reportedly told to pack up his belongings and leave his posh Buckingham Palace apartment this week.
A source told The sun“The King has made it clear that Buckingham Palace is no place for Prince Andrew.”
Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist who specializes in sexual abuse cases, told Express.co.uk she thinks the two recent revelations may be related.

However, he is allowed to keep his 31-room Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lives with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. The reported decision to kick him out of the palace comes just days after sources say Giuffre signed a lucrative book deal.
It is believed that the memoir will be a vessel for her to convey the allegations against Epstein. It remains unclear whether Giuffre’s memoirs will include details of the settlement she reached with Andrew.
As for Prince Andrew, his reputation is already in tatters and cannot get any worse than it already is (barring extremely egregious behavior or remarks on his part).
“The public already thinks he is punished enough by being kept in the background of most royal events. Virginia Giuffre therefore cannot do more damage to his reputation than she already has”.
In February, Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Ms. Giuffre to avoid a civil lawsuit.
Mrs Giuffre had sued the duke, claiming he had sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was 17. Andrew has repeatedly denied the allegations and the undisclosed amount was not an admission of liability.
