Virginia Giuffre's diary reveals allegations of abuse and control in her marriage
The family of Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Prince Andrew of sexual misconduct, has spoken out about her bravery in taking on the senior royal.
Giuffre's sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, said that she was "incredibly proud of herself" for "toppling" Prince Andrew, despite the challenges she faced.
Giuffre's family revealed that she was a determined individual who refused to back down in the face of adversity.
"When people told her 'no', or people told her they wouldn't believe her, or that she was crazy, she would say 'Watch me'," Amanda said. Her younger brother Sky added that she was never afraid of the powerful people she was taking on.
Her life was marked by her experiences as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who she accused of trafficking her to Prince Andrew.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein's abuse of underage girls. Epstein died in prison in 2019 before he could face trial.
Giuffre's diary, which she kept from the beginning of 2025, details her memories of her marriage breaking down and includes allegations of abuse by her husband, Robert Giuffre. The diary also includes photos, texts, and legal filings that support her claims.
In one entry, she wrote about being beaten by her husband while holding their baby.
In a final message to her children, Giuffre wrote, "Every day that I don't see your faces has a little less light. The world is dimmer without you in it. I'm here for you here and everywhere."
Her family believes that her death was a tragic ending to a story that is still unfolding.
