Giuffre Family Seeks Full Inquiry into Prince Andrew's Epstein Ties

Family demands accountability for royal and associates in Epstein case

Naffah

The family of Virginia Giuffre, a key figure in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, has voiced frustration over the lack of accountability for Prince Andrew, urging a thorough investigation into allegations of sexual abuse.

Giuffre, who claimed Epstein introduced her to the Duke of York at 17 in 2001, alleged she was abused by him three times.

Prince Andrew has denied these claims and settled a civil lawsuit with her in 2022 without admitting guilt or apologizing.

He stepped back from royal duties in 2019 amid backlash over his Epstein ties.

Concerns Over Royal Accountability

Sky Roberts, Giuffre’s brother, told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme:

It doesn’t matter if it’s a Royal Family member or president or prince... every single person deserves to be held to the fullest extent of the law.

He criticized the prince’s continued residence at Royal Lodge, calling it insufficient punishment despite public shaming and loss of titles.

The family noted no outreach from the Royal Family, amplifying their call for justice.

Amanda Roberts hinted at more revelations, saying: “I think we’re right on the precipice of seeing all of those skeletons start to come to surface.”

Damaging Emails and Congressional Scrutiny

A cache of over 100 private emails between Prince Andrew and Epstein, part of the Epstein Files under review by the US Congress, could prove damaging.

Sources describe these as potentially incriminating, with past emails revealing the prince’s close contact with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

David Boies, Giuffre’s lawyer, told Piers Morgan that evidence warrants a criminal probe into the prince.

The House Oversight Committee may invite Prince Andrew and Lord Mandelson, recently fired as UK ambassador over Epstein emails, to testify.

The committee is also examining Epstein’s birthday book, which includes names like Donald Trump, whom the Giuffre family wants investigated.
