Prince William reportedly skipped the 2025 Easter service to avoid being seen with Prince Andrew, whom commentator Charlotte Griffiths called “an unsolvable problem.” She added, “William won’t be seen anywhere near his uncle,” referencing Andrew’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre’s sexual assault allegations.

Virginia Giuffre, 41, died by suicide in April in Australia. Her family described her as “a fierce warrior” who inspired survivors of sex trafficking. Despite surviving abuse and advocating for justice, she recently faced domestic violence and health issues. “If she had one more instance with him, she wasn’t making it out,” her sister-in-law recalled.

An emergency palace meeting followed Giuffre’s death. A source said, “William thinks they need to show humanity. Charles just wants it to disappear.” Giuffre’s 2021 lawsuit against Andrew ended in a confidential settlement, but her death has reignited public scrutiny.

While many mourn Giuffre, Andrew’s former friend Lady Victoria Hervey questioned her credibility, calling the situation “divine judgment.” Despite the backlash, Giuffre’s legacy as an advocate for victims remains powerful and enduring.
