Prince Andrew's teenage sex accuser Virginia Giuffre was left shaking with fear after having sex with the royal, her ex-boyfriend has claimed. Anthony Figueroa, who was in a relationship with Ms Giuffre at the time of the allegations in 2001, said he received a call from the 'terrified' 17-year-old just hours after she was allegedly trafficked to Andrew for the first time. Ms Giuffre alleged that she had sex with Andrew on three separate occasions, including once with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and eight other young women. The prince, who reached a financial settlement with Ms Giuffre in 2022, has always denied any wrongdoing. Ms Giuffre claims she first met Andrew, then 41, in March 2001 after sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell introduced her to him. She says she went to London's Tramp nightclub with Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell where the prince 'sweated profusely'. In her posthumous memoir, Ms Giuffre claims that she later had sex with Andrew, writing: 'He was friendly enough, but still entitled - as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.' Now in a new interview, her then boyfriend Mr Figueroa has revealed how Ms Giuffre was left feeling in the moments after she allegedly had sex with Andrew. At the time, wild conspiracy theories swirled that Princess Diana had been killed by the Royal Family - fuelling concerns for Ms Giuffre's safety. Mr Figueroa, now 43, told The Sun: 'I remember that call clearly. She was terrified. Her voice was shaking the whole time. 'I was also absolutely terrified something would happen to her. We talked about the death of Diana. This man was so powerful, he was literally a prince.' He added: ''What could I have done? I wasn't in the country. Who would believe me if something bad happened to her?' Mr Figueroa says he received the phone call in March 2001, the day after Ms Giuffre allegedly had sex with Andrew at Maxwell's London home. He claims Ms Giuffre 'didn't want to do it' but felt she had no choice because he was a prince in one of the 'most powerful families in the world'. The Daily Mail has contacted Prince Andrew for comment. His comments come just days after Prince Andrew was forced to drop his royal titles - including Duke of York - amid fresh revelations by the Mail on Sunday which proves he lied about when he cut ties with Epstein. Andrew told Epstein 'we are in this together' and hoped to 'play some more soon' in an email he sent to the paedophile 12 weeks after supposedly ceasing all contact. The leaked email provides definitive proof that the Duke lied in his interview with BBC's Newsnight when he claimed he 'never had any contact' with Epstein after the pair were famously pictured walking together in New York's Central Park in December 2010. The email was sent one day after the Mail first published the infamous picture of Andrew with Ms Giuffre. Mr Figueroa was with Ms Giuffre when she collected the print from a one-hour kiosk near their home in Palm Beach, Florida. He trashed Andrew's suggestion that the photo of him with his arm around Ms Giuffre was fake. He also suggested that Andrew has not been punished enough and that simply dropping the Duke of York title is 'nothing'. The revelation came weeks after the MoS exposed how Sarah Ferguson, then Andrew's wife, wrote Epstein a gushing message calling him her 'supreme friend' – despite telling journalists she would never have anything to do with him again. The string of MoS exclusives coupled with the publication of Ms Giuffre's memoir from beyond the grave, has heaped further pressure on the Royal Family to sever all ties and raises fresh questions about their future at Royal Lodge in Windsor. Andrew is facing mounting pressure to quit Royal Lodge before the Prince and Princess of Wales move into their nearby 'forever home', it has been claimed. Royal sources told the MoS that William and Kate want to move into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park before Bonfire Night. The eight-bedroom home is just over a mile from Royal Lodge, where Andrew has lived for more than 20 years, and William is said to want his disgraced uncle out of his 30-room mansion by the time they move in. Negotiations over the prince's living arrangements are taking place on a daily basis amid a public outcry after it emerged he only pays a 'peppercorn rent' on the lavish property. Andrew cannot legally be evicted from Royal Lodge under the terms of his 'cast iron' lease but Palace insiders believe he will inevitably have to move out because of the scale of public anger. William and Kate are said to be keen to use the half-term break to prepare their children George, 12, Charlotte, ten, and Louis, seven, for their house move. A source said: 'Catherine shudders at the thought of living so close to Royal Lodge while Prince Andrew is still in it. William wants him gone before they start to move in next week. It's not about what Andrew doesn't want to do anymore. It's about what he's going to be told to do.
