Buckingham Palace has been left in shock over the shocking news of Virginia Giuffre’s death.
Buckingham Palace In Shock Over Virginia Giuffre’s Death
It is being reported that Virginia Giuffre died by suicide at home in Australia. She had previously accused of Prince Andrew of sexual assault when she was supposedly trafficked by dead but also disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein when she was just a teen.
Per the latest reports, the 41-year-old died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years.
“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” her family said in a statement to the press. “She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors,” the statement continued. “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”
Prince Andrew Has No Comment So Far
West Australia police said they were called to a home in the Neergabby area on Friday night, where Giuffre was found unresponsive.
Earlier in the month, Giuffre posted on Instagram to say she had been seriously injured in a car accident and that she only had a few days to live. However, the local police disputed her claims and the severity of the crash.

Back in 2022, Prince Andrew and Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement in her sexual abuse lawsuit against him, according to a court document filed by her attorneys.
While Andrew did not admit guilt in a statement announcing the settlement, he interestingly did say that he commended Giuffre and other survivors of sexual abuse for standing up for themselves.
Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of assaulting her on three separate occasions when she was 17. The Duke of York has denied all of the accusations that have been made against him.
