Prince Andrew’s sex attack accuser Virginia Giuffre is working with Monica Lewinsky’s PR & ‘may do Oprah interview’

PRINCE Andrew's accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is working with Monica Lewinsky's PR to craft her image after her $14million settlement with the Duke.

Ms Giuffre, 38, is being represented by New York-based Dini von Mueffling, The Sun can reveal.

PR experts said she could now follow the example of the former White House intern who had an affair with Bill Clinton and has rehabilitated her image.

Giuffre could even do an interview with Oprah Winfrey like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - a potential nightmare for Andrew.

After settling her case with the Duke, Giuffre was said to have been subject to a gagging order until The Queen's Jubilee took place in June 2022.

Giuffre has the right to make a statement at the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell on June 28.

She said: "For me, and for so many others, you opened the door to hell."

"And then, Ghislaine, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you used your femininity to betray us, and you led us all through it."

In a victim impact statement submitted ahead of the sentencing, Giuffre said the former socialite deserved to spend the rest of her life "trapped in a cage."

It comes after Maxwell was convicted of recruiting and trafficking underage girls - including Giuffre - to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

She was sentenced to 20 years in jail, and this week her lawyers blamed her abusive father for making her "vulnerable" to Epstein's manipulation.

Giuffre looks set to become a spokeswoman for victims of sexual assault, according to the website for her charity SOAR, or Speak Out, Act, Reclaim.

It says: "Through media appearances, speaking engagements, and public education campaigns, SOAR raises awareness and ensures that the voices of survivors are featured in the fight to end sex trafficking."

The PR team has masterminded the change in Lewinsky's image with speeches, TV appearances, and favorable articles.

Lewinsky penned an essay for Vanity Fair magazine about her treatment in the late 1990s and said in a TED talk she was "patient zero" for online bullying.

She was also the subject of an article in Vogue magazine which was titled: "We all owe Monica Lewinsky an apology."

Lewinsky was a producer on a TV series about her life called Impeachment: American Crime Story starring Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky and Clive Owen as Bill Clinton.

Last week she weighed in on the Amber Heard v Johnny Depp trial, saying it "stoked the flames of misogyny and the celebrity circus."

She also blasted the conservative majority on the Supreme Court which overturned the Roe v Wade ruling on abortion.

Should Giuffre, who currently lives in Australia with her family, embark on the same route, it could mean years of discomfort for Andrew.

She could hit the speaking circuit and write a book after already penning a manuscript called the "Billionaire Boys Club" which features the disgraced royal.

CHAT SHOW DEBUT

Amber Melville-Brown, a reputation and media lawyer with Withersworldwide, said that "it is not impossible that Ms Giuffre will find herself on the chat-show sofa."

She said Oprah's couch has "played host to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they sat down very publicly to spill some private royal family beans in cozy tête-à-tête with the chat show queens and their millions of viewers.

"Ironic if the next indentation in the sofa is made by Ms Giuffre, who is standing up for herself and others as the settlement statement says, has made such a lasting indentation in the reputation of Harry's uncle Andrew."

UK-based PR expert Mark Borkowski said: "My advice would be to make sure she has a purpose and to help people.

"I'm not sure what the world would feel about somebody who has generated so much money going into the public arena and continuing to fight her battle.

"It's more about others who have been through a similar struggle.

"If she goes on a further money-making exercise would we have the same sympathy for her?"

US PR expert Howard Bragman, founder of LaBrea Media said: "There are a lot worse models to follow than Monica Lewinsky who has been elegant and classy in the way she has handled herself."
