Virginia Giuffre's family make emotional plea to Royal Family amid Prince Andrew scandal
The family of Virginia Giuffre have made an emotional plea to the Royal Family.
Virginia Giuffre’s family have made an emotional plea to the Royal Family to “do the right thing” following the publication of Giuffre’s book. Giuffre, who was a victim of the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, wrote a memoir before her death in April this year.
In the memoir, Giuffre spoke about the abuse she received at the hands of Epstein, and followed on with claims she had already publicly made about Prince Andrew, accusing the prince of sleeping with her three times. These claims have always been denied by Andrew, even when he settled out of court with Giuffre for an undisclosed amount in 2022.
However, with scandals about Andrew and his association with Epstein continuing to grow, the prince has now relinquished his royal titles and is believed to be banned from most aspects of royal life.

This comes years after he first stepped back from public duty as a result of his past association with Epstein.
While the Royal Family acknowledged Andrew is no longer using his royal titles, they have not commented on Ms Giuffre’s book.
This has led to Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, and his wife, Amanda, making a plea to the Royal Family on the ITV show This Morning.
When asked if they have a message for the royals, Amanda said: “I would say you have an opportunity to promote change. You have an opportunity to say that you’ll be a Royal Family who protects the innocent no matter who is implicated, that you’ll stand on the right thing.”
In her plea to the Royal Family, she continued: “You have an opportunity for your people to trust you, and for other governments and other worlds to trust you, and we’re hoping that you’re going to do the right thing.
“I think it’s been far too long. Our sister has waited far too long for that acknowledgement and that justice, and we would hope that we can trust you to do that.”
Andrew has always denied claims that he had sex or any interactions with Virginia Giuffre.
He even said in his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview that he did not recall meeting Giuffre, or the infamous picture of them together being taken.
