‘It’s Not Too Late’: Virginia Giuffre’s Lawyer Explains Next Step Prince Andrew Must Take If He Wants Redemption

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer, David Boies, told British journalist Piers Morgan on Monday that Prince Andrew needs to “take responsibility” following her suicide.

In a statement released to NBC News on Friday, Giuffre’s family announced that the 41-year-old woman had taken her life. While on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Morgan told Boies that Prince Andrew has yet to make a statement following Giuffre’s death.

“As a matter of human compassion and religious faith, I believe in redemption. I think Virginia did too. I think Virginia hoped that the settlement that was made by Prince Andrew would be the start of his accepting responsibility,” Boies said. “I think that he needs to take responsibility for what he did.”

Giuffre became an outspoken voice against deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, alleging she was recruited at age 16 by Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell to perform sexual acts. In a 2019 interview with the BBC, Giuffre described how she was allegedly forced to have sex with the prince at age 17.

While Prince Andrew has denied Giuffre’s allegations, he ultimately settled the civil sexual assault case out of court, which was brought forward by Giuffre in 2022.

According to court documents, the prince made a “substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity,” demonstrating “his regret for his association” with Epstein and Maxwell. In addition to the donation, Prince Andrew said he “never intended to malign Giuffre’s character” and recognized she suffered “both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks,” according to court documents.
