I don’t currently have access to the necessary sources in this turn, but I can share what’s widely reported about the question. Direct answer
- Virginia Giuffre has claimed that Prince Andrew guessed her age correctly at 17 when they first met in March 2001, and that he remarkingly told her, "My daughters are just a little younger than you." Giuffre’s account appears in her posthumously published memoir, as reported by multiple outlets. If you’re looking for the exact wording or context, those reports quote her memoir’s passages about their first meeting.
Context and nuance
- The discussions around this topic center on Giuffre’s allegation that Andrew engaged with her when she was a minor and the details surrounding their initial introduction, including the age-guessing moment. Andrew has denied sexual contact with Giuffre or any wrongdoing, including several public statements and investigations surrounding him.
What you might want next
- I can pull up the latest and most reliable reporting on this from reputable outlets to confirm the exact phrasing and dates, and to provide a concise timeline of events as described in Giuffre’s memoir. If you’d like, specify the region or outlet you trust most (e.g., BBC, Reuters, The Guardian), and I’ll tailor the summary accordingly.
