When the Epstein affair broke, Prince Andrew was splashed. Virginia Giuffre, a victim of this vast traffic in the early 2000s, accuses her of sexual assault that occurred when she was a teenager and under the influence of the ex-financier and billionaire who died in prison. Now it is Emma Gruenbaum, former massage therapist to the Duke of Yorkwho takes the floor and delivers an edifying testimony in the columns of the Sun.
It was in 2005 that the young woman, then aged 34, was first brought in to massage the son of Elizabeth II at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived. And from the first meeting, he made inappropriate remarks. “I had six dates with him, then I couldn’t take it anymore. He was always talking about anal sex, making jokes about sex and asking me when was the last time I had sex. It doesn’t happen, does it? I kept telling him to stop, but I think he liked it“, says Emma Gruenbaum.
Prince Andrew, “thirsty for sex“ according to the complainant, did not stop there. In addition to words and other inappropriate questions about his intimate life – “He even asked me if I liked anal penetration“, remembers the masseuse – he behaved abusively.”He always insisted on being completely nakedexcept for a towel, while for this type of massage it was not really necessary“, says Emma Gruenbaum. And to continue about this client that she considers “the most frightening“: “Every time I saw him, he was trying to cross the line. He was always trying to hug me. I had to put my hand on his chest for push him away and say, ‘Look, I don’t cuddle.’“
If she decides to speak today, it is because she cannot continue to be silent while Prince Andrew firmly denies the accusations of Virginia Giuffre, the main accuser. Remember that the father of Eugenie and Beatrice of York is threatened with a civil lawsuit. What push him to be discreet. For her part, the queen made a big decision, that of withdrawing her military titles and royal patronage.
