Virginia Giuffre's family thank King for 'standing behind survivors'

The family of Virginia Giuffre have thanked the King for 'standing behind survivors' describing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest as 'a win'. The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday yesterday after plain-clothed officers swooped on his Norfolk home in an 8am raid. The shamed former royal spent 11 hours in police custody before being released under investigation, with his brother, the King, insisting Andrew should be subject to the full force of British justice, saying: 'The law must take its course.' Ms Giuffre, who died by suicide last year, alleged she was forced to have sex three times with Andrew, including when she was 17, and also during an orgy, after she was trafficked by Jeffry Epstein. Andrew has always strongly denied the claims.
