The Royal curse: How Virginia Giuffre’s life turned to HELL after her multimillion dollar payout from Prince Andrew – as her family flies in to support her

An extraordinary timeline has emerged of how Virginia Giuffre’s woes have piled up in recent years – including a spate of hospital admissions, a quad bike accident and her claims she had ‘four days to live’. 

It comes as Giuffre went into hiding ahead of a court appearance in her adopted home of Perth, Western Australia, with the 41-year-old accused of breaching a family violence restraining order. 

Giuffre – who first became famous for being sex trafficked by notorious US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – is due to face Joondalup Magistrates Court on Wednesday and, if convicted, could face a custodial sentence. 

Her older brother, Daniel Wilson, flew in from his home in Geraldine, Alabama, last week to be by his sister’s side as her life was plunged into fresh crisis.

It follows her ‘messy’ relationship breakdown with estranged husband Robert and her mysterious hospital stay after a car accident with a school bus.

Along with security staff at Perth’s Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, he helped spirit Giuffre out via a secret exit into a waiting car on Monday night without being seen by the waiting media pack.

‘Her brother is very protective of her and got to Australia as soon as he could,’ said a source.

‘He really didn’t want her to face the waiting media and managed to help sneak her out undercover.’

Giuffre became the centre of global media attention again last week after she posted a disturbing image of her heavily bruised face and claimed she had ‘four days to live’.

She shared the selfie from her hospital bed showing her severely bruised face on Sunday night claiming her injuries were the result of the traffic accident.

However the bus driver, Western Australia Police and multiple witnesses said the collision was not nearly as serious as she made out in her haunting Instagram post.

But this is not the first time she has been hospitalised recently. 

In August 2020 Giuffre posted a video from her hospital bed in Queensland in which she appears to have two black eyes and severe bruising around her neck.

While she did not go into detail about her injuries or the cause she did say she is in ICU and thanks people ‘all around the world,’ for their support.

‘I’m too tough for something like this to take me down and I got a bionic spine out of it,’ she said.

‘I just wanted to tell you all, just how much I appreciate all your comments.’

In November 2023, Giuffre was in hospital again for ‘spinal surgery,’ and took to social media to thank her husband for spoiling her with pancakes.

Then in January 2024 she was in a quad bike accident.

‘Thanks for all the love, I was trying to clock out a T-Rex for my daughter on an ATV and lost control,’ she wrote.

‘Thank heavens that we are both on the road to recovery.’

A year later on January 9, 2025 Giuffre claims she was once again in hospital.

She was allegedly involved in an incident near Dunsborough, Western Australia that reportedly left her with undisclosed injuries and needing medical treatment.

Her most recent hospital stint on March 24 came after the bus crash, which police later said was minor and caused just $2000 in damage.

While Giuffre initially went home, she later attended a hospital in rural Western Australia to seek treatment for a ‘pre-existing condition.’

She was then discharged, returned home again, before seeking medical attention at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital where she stayed for six days.

While Giuffre hasn’t been sighted since her swift exit on Monday, her older brother is reportedly looking after her while offering support prior to her court appearance.

‘He is the best big brother anyone could ever dream of,’ Giuffre has previously boasted when speaking about Wilson.

While details of the family violence restraining order breach won’t be released until her court appearance, Giuffre is now estranged from her husband of 22 years and three children.

She is currently living around 60km away from the family beachside mansion in a sprawling $1.3 million farmhouse.

In February 2022, the Duke of York paid her an undisclosed amount, reportedly in the millions, to settle her sex abuse case against him, though he denied any wrongdoing and it came with no admission of liability.

Although Giuffre became a household name for her allegations against Prince Andrew, the mother-of-three has managed to live a relatively quiet life since moving to Australia with her martial arts instructor husband in 2002.

The pair had met in Thailand while Giuffre was on a massage training course, paid for by Epstein, and were married two weeks later.

The 22-year marriage is understood to have broken down in recent months, and caused a tug of love over access 

Just a few weeks ago, on March 22, Virginia took to social media to post pictures of her three children, adding the heartbreaking caption.

‘My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies.

‘I miss them so very much. I have been through hell and back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else.

‘Hurt me, abuse me but don’t take my babies. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.
