The family of late Prince Andrew sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre celebrated the scandal-scarred royal’s decision Friday to surrender his Duke of York title as “vindication for our sister and survivors everywhere” — while demanding his prince title gets stripped too.
“This is not just a victory for her, but for every single survivor of the horrific crimes perpetrated by [Jeffrey] Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said loved ones of Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year.
Andrew announced he was giving up the designation after new accusations surrounding his connection to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged this week.
Giuffre’s family said they also believe “it is appropriate” for King Charles III, Andrew’s brother, to pull the royal’s prince title next.
“We hope that the days of impunity for the powerful are over, and protection for predators will no longer be tolerated,” her family said.
“We hope a higher standard has been set for our leaders in office in the United States – one we will work tirelessly to follow here. It is time for accountability, transparency, and justice for all survivors.”

Giuffre was a central figure in Epstein’s downfall, claiming she was a victim of his years-long sex trafficking operation, including being flown to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17.
Andrew has long denied the accusations.
