VIRGINIA Giuffre’s family has held a secret funeral to bid a final farewell to the Prince Andrew accuser.

She is believed to have taken her own life on her farm in Neergabby, some 50 miles north of Perth.

Giuffre was reportedly cremated at Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park in Padbury, reporters West Australia.

Cops have now confirmed the circumstances of her death were not deemed suspicious.

Detectives are in the process of preparing a report to give to the coroner.

Giuffre was the most prominent victim of the notorious Epstein.

She alleged she was trafficked to Prince Andrew by Epstein and his madam, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

The courageous woman, who had been separated from her husband Robert, alleged that the royal had sexually abused her three times, beginning when she was merely 17 years old.

Prince Andrew has denied the allegations.

Giuffre’s heartbroken family described her as a “fierce warrior” following her death.

They said she had been a “lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking”.

Her grieving family, in a heartfelt message, shared: “Giuffre ended her life by suicide after enduring a lifetime of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.

“Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure.”

Giuffre’s family have now launched a fundraiser on GoFundMe to build a public memorial for Giuffre.

They say the brave soul deserves to have a “permanent mark in this world.”

They said: “It is imperative that we find a way to leave her mark as a legacy.

“Despite Virginia’s ability to secure settlements through her courageous battle and testimony, sadly, as many might be aware, it can take years for financial settlements and estates to be resolved.

“While her estate is being settled in Australia, her family in America is dedicated to memorialising and celebrating her spirit.

Who was Virginia Giuffre?

VIRGINIA Roberts – later Virginia Giuffre, 41, was an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein.

She made claims against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell – Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover.

Giuffre alleged in court documents that she was procured by Maxwell, 63, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage “sex slave” for Epstein.

She released a manuscript just hours before Epstein’s death, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his pals.

The legal documents were released in a defamation case involving Giuffre, who has claimed in court documents that Prince Andrew slept with her three times.

In 2019, Virginia Roberts claimed that she had sex with Prince Andrew in a toilet when she was 17, after a night where he had allegedly been plying her with vodka in a posh London club.

On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Prince Andrew settled the lawsuit – sparing him a humiliating court battle.

“It is our intention with this fund that we create a public memorial not just for family but for survivors and supporters from all over to visit and share space with Virginia.

“She deserves to have a permanent mark in this world that demonstrates her lasting impact.”

The heartfelt statement thanked wellwishers for the “outpouring of love and support” in the wake of Ms Giuffre’s death.

They also pledged to continue Ms Giuffre’s fight for a change in the law to protect victims of sexual abuse and prevent predators from escaping justice.

The family vowed to take on her mission “with all our heart and soul”.

The tragic tributes come after Giuffre’s sudden death in April, which opened a Pandora’s Box of unanswered questions.

On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Prince Andrew had settled a lawsuit, sparing him a humiliating court battle.

He was later stripped of his royal roles and banished from public duty in disgrace.

Epstein was later found dead in his prison cell in August 2019 while Maxwell is serving time behind bars in the US for her role.

Prince Andrew’s multi-million pound settlement with his sex abuse accuser has been frozen in the wake of her tragic suicide.

The outcast Royal, 65, paid Virginia Giuffre a reputed £12million after agreeing an out-of-court deal in 2022.

The payout has now been blocked amid fears of a battle for her estate involving her estranged husband and US-based family.

Giuffre’s courage in speaking out inspired countless victims of abuse to speak out against their tormentors. 

But many aspects of Virginia’s life remain clouded in mystery – from the truth about her alleged interactions with Andrew, to what actually caused her injuries, and the circumstances around her death.

You’re Not Alone

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.

It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.

Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.

If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
