VIRGINIA Giuffre’s lawyer has said “it’s a very bad situation” after she claimed she had been given “four days to live”.

A 41-year-old mother of three, who was sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and has accused Prince Andrew of abusing her at age 17, reports being hospitalized following a severe bus accident.

She shared a shocking picture of herself from a hospital bed to Instagram on Sunday, covered in bruises.

In a caption alongside the post, Virginia begged to see her children “one last time” and claimed to be suffering from kidney failure.

She wrote: “They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

“I think it’s important to note that when a school bus driver approaches you while driving at 110kmh as you are slowing down for a turn, no matter what material your car is built from, it might as well be a tin can.”

Virginia said she was “ready to go” – but “not until I see my babies”.

And she went on to thank her supporters for being a “great part” of her life.

Addressing the post on Monday night, Virginia’s former lawyer said it was “a very bad situation”.

Brad Edwards, who previously represented the mother in legal proceedings, expressed hope for positive updates in the coming days and wished for her recovery with proper medical care.

Virginia’s PR, Dini von Mueffling, added: “Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.

“She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”

Details of the crash are sparse and it is not clear where or when it took place.

Virginia’s dad earlier said he was “praying” for his daughter, who claims to be estranged from her three teen children after separating from her husband.

It comes after she accused Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was 17 while she travelled with Andrew’s paedo pals Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

An infamous photo of the trio – which Andrew claimed to know nothing about – showed the disgraced Duke grinning while gripping Virginia by her midriff.

Andrew was spared a humiliating court battle over the claims, and three years ago, paid the mum millions in an out-of-court settlement, while denying sexual assault accusations.

It marked the first time the duke had shown contrition over his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell.

He had previously defended his friendship with the paedo as having “seriously beneficial outcomes” away from the rape allegations.

Virginia first sued Andrew in August 2021.

It was the first time she had brought action against him after going public with the allegations in 2011.

She claims she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Andrew for the first time at Maxwell’s house in London after a night out at the club Tramp.

The mum also claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke on at least two further occasions by Maxwell and Epstein.

She claims she feared for her life when she was allegedly forced to have sex with Andrew, who is accused of having been aware of her age and status as a “sex-trafficking victim”.

In his notorious Newsnight interview five years ago, Andrew vowed to help the probe into Epstein and his warped madam Maxwell.

But the Duke has ignored repeated calls to tell US authorities what he knows about paedo Epstein’s criminal behaviour.

Who is Virginia Giuffre?

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

She has 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 has 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.

In his Newsnight interview, Andrew claimed he severed ties with Epstein in December 2010.

He said he didn’t see or speak to Epstein after they were pictured strolling through Central Park in New York City shortly after the paedo was released from jail for child sex offences.

But new emails between the pair emerged earlier this year from February 2011, two months after Andrew claimed they had ceased contact.

In one, Andrew wrote: “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon.”

Andrew has denied any wrongdoing and has denied allegations made against him.

Epstein took his own life in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for conspiring with him to sexually abuse minors.
