The family of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Mountbatten-Windsor of sexually abusing her, has slammed the former royal after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct, saying “he was never a prince”.

“At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty,” Giuffre’s siblings said in a statement to CBS News.

“He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you,” her family said.
