New book from late Jeffrey Epstein accuser filled with allegations against Prince Andrew |

More context: The memoir details her encounters with Prince Andrew after a new report alleged the royal asked police to help him dig up dirt on her after she accused him of sexual abuse. |

She writes that she was instructed by Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell to "do for him what you do for Jeffrey." | | • | Royal no more: Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, was stripped of his royal titles last week over his connections to Epstein. | | • | Giuffre was one of Epstein's most vocal accusers. The 400-page book was written before Giuffre died by suicide near her Australian home in April. Her co-author said she "wanted all her suffering to have accomplished something." | | Virginia Giuffre's memoir alleges abuse from "a multitude of powerful men" and describes how she left the grip of Epstein and Maxwell.

Is my package ever coming?! |
Might need to style a back-up outfit if your delivery doesn't make it. As the Trump administration increasingly wields tariffs as economic and foreign policy tools, international packages coming into the United States need more information to clear customs. Shipments may not be delivered, or even destroyed, as shipping companies seek information required to adhere to new tariffs. Meanwhile, Americans awaiting purchased goods have grown frustrated about delays — or the likelihood of their package ever arriving. |
