Virginia Giuffre’s family is celebrating a major victory after The King has moved to strip Andrew of his titles and honours, marking a historic change in the Royal Family. Virginia, who was a young girl when she was assaulted by Andrew, has bravely fought for justice and accountability, and her perseverance has now led to this significant development.
The family statement describes Virginia as “an ordinary American girl” who demonstrated extraordinary courage to bring down a British prince with her truth. They vow to continue her fight for justice for all survivors and to hold accountable those associated with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sigrid McCawley, Virginia’s lawyer during the civil sex assault case, lauded Virginia’s bravery and highlighted this as a “tipping point,” sending a strong message to believe survivors of abuse. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, will also be leaving his Royal Lodge residence, further distancing him from royal privileges amid ongoing disputes over allegations, which he continues to deny.
This historic move underscores an era of accountability and support for abuse survivors, offering a powerful reminder to listen to and uplift those who bravely share their stories.
