Lady Victoria Hervey is a well-known figure in British society for her past as an ‘it girl’ and for the brief courtship she had with Prince Andrew in 1999, after he separated from his former wife Sarah Ferguson.
It is obvious that their breakup took place cordially, because he did not hesitate to defend him publicly before the accusations made against him by a woman named Virginia Giuffre, who claims that the late businessman Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrés in 2001, when she was 17 years old, in the framework of the minor prostitution network that had organized with his partner and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
One of the key pieces of evidence presented to prove the alleged guilt of the son of Queen Elizabeth II is a photograph in which he poses for the camera with Virginia while He wraps his arm around her waist.
However, Lady Victoria has now assured that it is of a montage and that the man who appears in the image is actually “an Irish body double” on which Andrés’s head was placed, as explained by a former victim of Epstein.
To support his claims, he shared a photo on Instagram, which does seem to have been photoshopped, in which Virginia can be seen in the same position, but on a gray background, to ensure that Prince Andrew was later added to the composition.
Lady Victoria also published one more image of Virginia, which had already seen the light before, taken on the yacht where Naomi Campbell’s birthday was celebrated in 2001, in which the then young woman appears with the same pink tank top and pants that she wore while posing with Andrés. In the opinion of the prince’s ex-girlfriend, it is suspicious that he appears in the same outfit in both images.
The Duke of York, who is facing a civil lawsuit for sexual abuse in the United States, maintains that he does not remember meeting Virginia and that it is impossible to determine if their photograph together is authentic because it is not, according to him, the original copy.
