Virginia Giuffre's family responded to the arrest of former British prince Andrew, who is under suspicion of misconduct, with a strong statement asserting that he was never a prince and that the news has brought them relief. Giuffre, who was a key accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein case, alleged that she was trafficked to Andrew as a minor, and her family feels that this arrest is a significant move in a larger fight against the abuse of power and privilege by figures in royalty.

In their statement to CBS News, Giuffre's siblings noted that their hearts felt a sense of relief from the decision, which affirms a key belief that no one is above the law, including members of the royal family. They emphasized that Virginia's struggle was for the survivors of abuse everywhere, highlighting her role as a brave voice in exposing the injustices of her own experience and the wider implications of her fight against systems of power that allow such abuses to occur unchecked.

The family's reaction follows Virginia's tragic passing last year, which they believe gives additional weight to their statements about accountability. They expressed hope that this arrest represents a moment of justice not just for Virginia but for all abuse survivors, transforming her legacy into one that champions the rights of the voiceless in similar situations.
