Prince Andrew’s Ex-Girlfriend Virginia Giuffre Claims She Has ‘Days to Live’ After Bus Crash
Virginia Giuffre, the 41-year-old woman who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, recently made a heart-wrenching announcement claiming she has “days to live” following a devastating bus accident. Giuffre, who was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, stated that she is currently suffering from kidney failure as a result of her injuries.
In a disturbing image shared on Instagram, Giuffre posted a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed, visibly covered in bruises. In her accompanying caption, she expressed her desire to see her children “one last time.”
Lady Victoria Hervey, who once dated Prince Andrew in 1999, responded harshly to Giuffre’s situation, suggesting that this was a case of “karma” striking Epstein’s accuser. Hervey took to Instagram to say, “If Virginia Giuffre really does have days to live, then a complete confession is needed. I don’t believe it though; the FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are coming. She’s conveniently dying to evade jail.” She further urged Giuffre’s husband, Robert Giuffre, to speak out, indicating that he knows more about the situation than he has let on.
Virginia recently separated from her husband, Robert, with whom she had been married for 22 years. They share three teenage children, and Virginia has claimed she is now estranged from them. In a prior Instagram post, she credited Robert with rescuing her from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp.
Lady Victoria continued her criticism, asserting that Robert knows the truth about Giuffre’s past actions, referring to a controversial photograph of Giuffre and Prince Andrew taken in London, which Ghislaine Maxwell previously labeled as “a fake.” This infamous image shows Andrew smiling as he holds Giuffre by her midriff, with Maxwell appearing in the background.
Details surrounding the bus crash remain unclear, including its exact time and location. In her post, Giuffre stated that she was “ready to go” but insisted she must see her children first. She expressed gratitude to her supporters for their presence in her life, stating, “They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I think it’s important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.”
On Monday evening, Virginia’s former attorney, Brad Edwards, described the situation as “a very bad situation” and expressed hope for better news in the coming days. He emphasized the importance of her receiving good medical care. Virginia’s public relations representative, Dini von Mueffling, confirmed that she is indeed receiving treatment in the hospital and greatly appreciates the support and well wishes she has received from the public.
Giuffre has long maintained that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sexual encounters with Prince Andrew, who is accused of being aware of her age and status as a trafficking victim. She has stated that she was coerced into sexual acts with Andrew at Maxwell’s house in London after a night out at the club Tramp and claims this happened multiple times.
Who is Virginia Giuffre?
Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, is an American-Australian activist and a prominent figure in the fight against sex trafficking. She has made serious allegations against Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre alleges that she was trafficked by Maxwell, who is the daughter of the disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell, and forced into a life of sexual servitude for Epstein as a teenager.
In 2019, Virginia released a manuscript just hours before Epstein’s death, contributing to numerous documents related to a pending lawsuit against the financier and his associates. The legal filings included claims that Prince Andrew had sex with her three times, starting when she was just 17 years old. She has claimed that one encounter took place in a restroom after Andrew allegedly provided her with vodka at an upscale London club.
On February 15, 2022, it was publicly announced that Prince Andrew had reached a settlement in the lawsuit, thus avoiding a highly publicized court battle. This settlement marked the first time Andrew expressed regret regarding his associations with Epstein and Maxwell, despite previously defending their relationships as having “seriously beneficial outcomes.”
Virginia first filed her lawsuit against Andrew in August 2021, marking her first legal action against him after publicly sharing her allegations in 2011. She has consistently maintained her claims of being a victim of sex trafficking, alleging that she was forced to engage in sexual acts with Andrew on multiple occasions, under the coercion of Epstein and Maxwell.
Epstein tragically took his own life in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, while Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in facilitating the abuse of minors.
