Friends of Prince Andrew have said the prince and his family are “completely unsurprised” that his sex accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, made a string of questionable claims about being in a high speed bus crash that had brought her to death’s door.

Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser who alleged Prince Andrew abused her, said in an Instagram post she got into a car accident with a school bus and was now in hospital.

Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein who accused some of the world’s most powerful men of sex trafficking, says she had just days left to live.
