Prince Andrew has ‘no way back’ to royal life after Virginia Giuffre’s death

Royal experts have said Prince Andrew cannot return to public life after the death of Virginia Giuffre as the victim of Jeffrey Epstein has been remembered as a “fierce warrior”.

Prince Andrew’s “delusional” comeback to royal life is over after the death of Virginia Giuffre, royal experts have claimed.

A source told The Sun that “the door to a return is firmly closed” as the royal remained silent after the Australian-based Giuffre’s death.

Prince Andrew remained ensconced in his Royal Lodge home at Windsor, and his remaining friends have also been reluctant to say anything.

Meanwhile, the lawyer who represented Ms Giuffre in her sex assault lawsuit against Andrew called on the royal to “say sorry and come clean” in wake of her suicide.

Attorney David Boies said Andrew, who was accused of having sex with Giuffre when she was a teen and trafficked by dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, finally needed to “take responsibility for what he did.”

“I think she would have accepted Prince Andrew taking responsibility,” Mr Boies told “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”

“I’d like to have him say he’s sorry.”

Andrew appeared smiling and happy alongside the Royal Family at an Easter Sunday service, joining his brother King Charles and Queen Camilla for photos at Windsor Castle.

But the prince missed his regular Saturday morning horseride on the Windsor estate as Giuffre’s death was announced.

He broke cover briefly on the weekend when he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were seen driving out to take their corgis for an afternoon walk.

Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse on three occasions, including when she was 17.

Prince Andrew has vehemently denied the accusations, although he later paid Giuffre a reputed A$25 million settlement.

There are now calls for the royal outcast to “honour” his words when he paid millions to Giuffre in 2022 and “pledged to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking and by supporting its victims”.

Prince Andrew’s office and Buckingham Palace both released public statements during the Duke of York’s highly-damaging China spy drama after court documents revealed his links to alleged Chinese spy Chris Yang.

But they have been silent since the death of Giuffre.

The prince not join the rest of the royals at next week’s 80th anniversary of VE Day commemorations — despite him seeing action by serving in the Falklands War in 1982 and ir is unlikely he will be seen in public until potentially appearing with the Royal Family on Christmas Day at Sandringham.

Royal sources insist that he will never return to be a working royal after he was stripped of his titles and roles by the late Queen due to the allegations and links to the late Epstein.

One insider said: “Andrew does deep down harbour hopes that he can make a comeback — but they are delusional hopes.”

Prince Andrew first met Epstein in 1999 through his friend, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Giuffre filed her civil suit against the prince in August 2021.

But he has always denied the allegations and claimed never to have met her despite the existence of a photograph of them together that was reportedly taken at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home in 2021.

Ms Giuffre’s current lawyer Karrie Louden, told the Daily Mail she was in “complete shock” over her death.

“‘If any of us had thought she’s going to commit suicide, of course we would have taken more steps, put her into a clinic or got her some more help,” Ms Louden said.

“When I got the phone call, I was like, ‘are you joking?’ Because there was no signs that was something she was considering.”

Ms Giuffre’s sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, has spoken out following her death, saying she was a “fierce warrior” who “wished for all survivors to get justice.”

Giuffre — who became the most prominent victim of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — took her own life last week, her family confirmed. She was 41.

Speaking to People magazine following the devastating news, Roberts — who is married to Giuffre’s brother, Sky — described her as one of “the most beautiful souls you would ever have the chance to meet”.

“We lost our sister,” she said. “Her children lost their mother, and her mother lost her daughter.”

Giuffre moved to Australia with then husband Robert Giuffre, raising their three children for two decades before her life apparently began to unravel in recent months.

“The world lost a fierce warrior,” Roberts went on. “She wished for all survivors to get justice. That is who she was.”

“That’s where we are now. She was one of the most beautiful souls you would ever have the chance to meet. But I think sometimes, that load and that weight becomes too much to carry.”

Roberts told the outlet that Giuffre’s brother, Sky, was staying with her when she died.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” Giuffre’s family said in a statement.

“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

First responders found Giuffre unresponsive in her home near Perth, and local authorities said her death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives.

Giuffre made headlines last month when she posted a photo of her bruised-up face on social media — claiming to have been struck by a bus and she had “four days to live.”

“This has been the worst start to a new year,” she wrote in the caption. “I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.”

However, a bus driver claimed shortly after that she had “blown it out of proportion.”

Giuffre later claimed she suffered years of physical abuse at the hands of her husband, Robert Giuffre. The couple had recently separated after 22 years of marriage.

Roberts added that Giuffre and her husband had been undergoing marital issues for some time before finally splitting in August 2023.
