On April 30, 2025, the family of Virginia Giuffre — a key accuser in the case against Prince Andrew — publicly shared a page from one of her journals. The revelation came through a Facebook post by her sister, Amanda Roberts.
The post was shared amid reports of a protest taking place in Washington, D.C.
Roberts wrote, “Hello world. we received news today that there’s a protest in DC. While spending time with family and celebrating our sister, we were going through journal entries that Giuffre had written over the years and stumbled upon this quote and thought it was a beautiful moment to share with you all [sic].”
The image included in the post contained a direct excerpt from Giuffre’s journal. The quote addressed protest, unity, and the ongoing struggle for justice faced by survivors.
The context surrounding the protest referenced in Roberts’ message was further detailed in an Instagram post shared by Summer Willis.
Willis is the founder of the nonprofit Strength Through Strides and the organizer of the Denim Day March, which took place in Washington, D.C.
“Last night, @strengththroughstrides held our annual Denim Day March in Washington, D.C.—but the story doesn’t begin there,” she wrote.
She recalled watching the Jeffrey Epstein documentary four years earlier during a late-night feeding with her newborn and seeing Giuffre for the first time. That moment, she explained, became a turning point in her life.
Giuffre’s strength and advocacy inspired her. “Her voice, her fire, her unapologetic bravery reached through the screen and into my soul,” Willis shared. “I chose purpose. I dedicated this year’s Denim Day March to Virginia — to her legacy, to her fight, and to every survivor who still feels alone.”

She recounted how Giuffre’s family contacted her the same day with a message Giuffre had written about the protest. “They asked if they could share them with all of us,” she wrote. “They told me they were proud of me. Proud of all of us.”
Willis also announced that the Governor’s Summer Willis Act was going to the floor for a vote. She concluded her post with these moving words, “I feel her here with me. Happy Denim Day, everyone. Keep marching. Keep speaking. Keep believing. For Virginia. For all of us.”
Giuffre’s spokeswoman told People magazine that her family found the note among her writings at home, clarifying, “It’s not a final note.”
The spokeswoman also shared that Giuffre and the march’s organizers did not know each other and that the event had been planned before her death. When the family learned about the march, they believed it was “apt” to post Giuffre’s encouraging words.
Willis noted that the day included meetings with senators in the U.S. Capitol to advocate for stronger protections for survivors. The event concluded with a march to the Lincoln Memorial in honor of Giuffre.
“Giuffre,” Willis said, “was the first advocate I ever saw speaking out. She gave me the courage to tell my own story.”
Willis became emotional when Giuffre’s family called her during the event. “Everyone just stood around the phone as we listened to Virginia’s family and read us the note,” she said. “They said thank you for carrying on her legacy. We were all crying.”
“I never got to thank Virginia,” Willis added. “But I can carry on her legacy and work for survivors in her honor.”
Giuffre’s death remains under investigation. Her lawyer, Karrie Louden, was among the first to arrive at the house after the discovery of her body. In an interview with The Sun Online on April 28, 2025, Louden stated, “We’ve got big question marks over it. There’s suicide and then there’s misadventure.”
“The family said what the family has said but I’m not going to speculate whether it was suicide or accidental,” said Louden.
She added that Giuffre had been hospitalized and was on medication. “Has she just taken too many painkillers? Was she intentionally doing it? I just, you know… I don’t even know what the cause of death was.”
Louden, who had represented Giuffre since the start of the year, mentioned that Giuffre had been making future plans. “She was in a lot of pain but she was looking forward to things in the future. She wanted to renovate this house and all sorts of things like that. There were plans that she had for the future.”
Louden had spoken to Giuffre in the days before her death and had scheduled a meeting with her for the same day the body was discovered. “I was here this time last week and things were positive,” she said. “I’m a defence lawyer, so I don’t like to speculate about things. I like beyond reasonable doubt.”

She said police had provided no official confirmation or details. “They didn’t even confirm that she was dead. That’s how little information the police have provided to me,” she stated. “This has been a complete shock to all of us. If any of us had thought she’s going to commit suicide, of course we would have taken more steps, put her into a clinic or got her some more help.”
Louden explained that the uncertainty surrounding the case remains. “There were no suspicious circumstances, as far as we are aware,” she said, “but given the recent activities, it’s very likely that we will never know.”
She also noted the lack of clarity from law enforcement. “The police were just very, very vague. I know that she’s gone but how that happened, I don’t know. I’m not sure we’ll ever know. I mean, sometimes the coroner might say it was suicide, the coroner might say it was misadventure, the coroner might say inconclusive.”
Toxicology tests are expected to be conducted. Up to six police officers, including four from the major crimes unit, examined the scene after the alarm was raised on Friday. Authorities in Western Australia have not released any details regarding the circumstances.
Louden added, “I’m not aware of a suicide note. I’m not saying there was or wasn’t a note, but I’m not aware of any note. I haven’t been told about one, so I can’t say if there was or not. The police came in and did all their stuff, and they would have taken all the evidence.”
A spokeswoman for the Perth Coroner’s Court confirmed that Giuffre’s death has been reported to the court. “The circumstances of Ms Giuffre’s death will be investigated by the coroner. The Court will inform the senior next of kin of those investigations, which are not made public.”
It could take up to two years before the coroner’s report is completed.
Giuffre’s father, Sky Roberts, also addressed his daughter’s passing. Speaking to TMZ, he said that Giuffre had posted videos in the past saying that if she ever died by suicide, not to believe it, and to have authorities investigate.
In one of her final public messages, Giuffre shared an emotional Instagram post on March 30, 2025. She wrote that she had gone into kidney renal failure and had been told she had four days to live.
Referring to a recent accident, she said, “When a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn … it might as well be a tin can.”
