Lady Victoria Hervey, the socialite and former girlfriend of Prince Andrew, has broken her silence regarding the Duke of York's controversial association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In an exclusive revelation, Hervey shares her perspective on one of the most damaging chapters in recent royal history.
The Royal Connection Exposed
Speaking candidly, Hervey confirmed her past relationship with Prince Andrew while expressing her shock at the extent of his connections to Epstein. "I knew him when I was younger," she stated, acknowledging their romantic history without delving into specific details about their time together.
The socialite revealed she had encountered Epstein herself on several occasions, describing him as "creepy" and someone who made her feel uncomfortable. Her comments add to the growing chorus of voices questioning the Duke's judgment in maintaining such associations.
A Damaging Fallout
Hervey didn't hold back when discussing the consequences of Andrew's actions, stating bluntly that the Prince had "basically been cancelled" by the royal establishment. The fallout from the Epstein scandal has indeed been severe, with the Duke being stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages.
"He's been completely pushed out," Hervey observed, highlighting the dramatic fall from grace experienced by the Queen's second son. Her comments come as Prince Andrew continues to live a largely secluded life, his public appearances limited to family events.
The Aftermath Continues
The Epstein scandal continues to cast a long shadow over the royal family, with Prince Andrew's reputation suffering irreparable damage. Hervey's decision to speak out adds another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding the Duke's choices and their consequences.
While Hervey maintained discretion about the specifics of her relationship with Andrew, her willingness to address the Epstein connection marks a significant moment in the public discussion surrounding the royal's controversial associations.
