Virginia Giuffre’s brother, Sky, appeared on Good Morning Britain just hours after it was announced that Andrew will be stripped of all his royal titles
Virginia Giuffre’s brother sobbed after the “bittersweet” news that Andrew will be stripped of his titles. Sky Roberts and his wife, Amanda, appeared on Good Morning Britain, hours after it was revealed that King Charles announced that Andrew will simply be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
In recent weeks, Andrew had been under increased pressure to move out of his home, Royal Lodge, in the wake of the scandal surrounding his close links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was accused by Virginia of having sex with her in March 2001, when she was just 17.
She alleged she had been trafficked by Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia claimed that Epstein and his girlfriend had taken her to Tramp nightclub in London, where she met with Andrew and later had sex with him that night. She claimed that Epstein had paid her $15,000 after sleeping with Andrew. During an interview with BBC’s Newsnight in 2019, Andrew vehemently denied the allegations and told host Emily Maitlis he had no recollection of meeting Virginia. Andrew vehemently denies all allegations made against him.
“It means everything to me,” a tearful Sky said on Good Morning Britain. He added: “I knew it would mean everything to Virginia.” Amanda added: “We wish we were hugging her right now and laughing with her and celebrating this moment.”
The pair said that they would like
It comes after King began the process of stripping his younger brother of all royal titles. In a rare statement, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday evening: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.
“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
