A forthcoming memoir, set for release months after the author’s death, recounts a 2001 meeting with a British royal and the events surrounding a widely circulated photograph.
The author describes being prepared for the encounter by an associate of Jeffrey Epstein in a London residence. That morning, she was told she would be meeting a “handsome prince” that evening, likening the situation to a fairy tale. The day was spent shopping for an outfit—a choice inspired by popular singers of the era, which left a strip of midriff exposed.
Upon the royal’s arrival, the associate introduced her and asked him to guess her age. He correctly identified her as 17, remarking that his own daughters were slightly younger. A joke was made about soon needing to “trade her in.”
The author recalls the royal as relatively fit, with short brown hair and a reputation as a playboy within his family. She began referring to him by a familiar nickname.
The infamous photograph was taken, she writes, at her own suggestion, fearing her mother would be upset if she met someone so famous without a picture. She retrieved a disposable camera, and the image was captured by Epstein, showing the royal with his arm around her waist.
The group later went to an exclusive nightclub, where she was given a cocktail and invited to dance. She remembers him as an awkward dancer who perspired heavily. On the return trip, she was instructed by the associate to provide the same “services” for the royal as she did for Epstein.
Back at the residence, the author states she was signaled to attend to him. She describes drawing him a bath, which they shared briefly before moving to a bedroom. She details specific intimate acts focused on her feet, which she found unusual, before he proceeded to intercourse. The entire encounter, she recalls, lasted less than half an hour, ending with a curt “thank you.”
The following day, she was told she had “done well” and that the royal had enjoyed himself. She writes that she was subsequently paid a sum of money for the encounter.
The royal has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He has since relinquished his honorary military roles and use of the “His Royal Highness” style. The memoir is scheduled for publication this week.
