Prince Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, was “incredibly proud” of her role in holding the royal to account, her family has revealed following her tragic death earlier this year.
Giuffre, 41, was found dead in April at her farm in Western Australia.
She was a leading voice in exposing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and filed a high-profile lawsuit accusing Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, claims he has consistently denied.
According to her siblings, Sky and Daniel, Virginia viewed her legal battle as a powerful stand against elite abuse.
“She was proud of toppling the Queen’s favourite son,” they told The Times.
Her sister Amanda added: “When people didn’t believe her, she would say, ‘Watch me.’”
Prince Andrew stepped down from royal duties in 2019 following public backlash from a BBC interview.
He later settled Giuffre’s civil lawsuit in 2022 without admitting any wrongdoing, while agreeing to donate to her victims’ charity.
Virginia’s legacy as a campaigner for victims of trafficking continues to be honoured by her family.
They say she hoped her fight would empower others to speak out, even against the most powerful.
