Recently disclosed correspondence indicates that a senior royal attempted to use police resources to investigate the background of Virginia Giuffre, the woman who had accused him of sexual assault. The emails from 2011 show the royal provided a personal protection officer with Giuffre’s personal identification details, including her Social Security number and date of birth, requesting an investigation into her past.
The royal, who has since been stripped of his titles following his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, allegedly wrote that Giuffre appeared to have a criminal record in the United States. It remains unclear whether the officer acted upon this request.
The correspondence has drawn sharp criticism from government officials, with one minister describing the revelations as “deeply concerning” and confirming that the allegations would be properly examined.
Giuffre’s family responded to the email disclosures, stating they demonstrate the extensive efforts made to undermine and discredit survivors of sexual assault. The family expressed confidence that the truth would ultimately emerge, leaving no place for those involved to conceal their actions.
Giuffre, who tragically died earlier this year, had consistently maintained that the royal participated in Epstein’s trafficking network and sexually assaulted her when she was underage. The royal has repeatedly denied these allegations, claiming no memory of ever meeting Giuffre.
In a previous television interview, the royal expressed regret over his continued association with Epstein, acknowledging that the relationship reflected poorly on the monarchy and stating he felt he had “let the side down.”
Following multiple scandals, the royal voluntarily relinquished his titles after consultations with senior family members, though he maintained his denial of all accusations against him.
