When millions of pages connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation were released to the public, few expected one of the most talked-about reactions to come from someone once closely linked to the British royal family.
Lady Victoria Hervey has now broken her silence following the publication of the Epstein files, offering a series of comments about her former partner Prince Andrew that quickly drew widespread attention.
Lady Victoria briefly dated Andrew in 1999 and appears multiple times in the newly released documents, which were made public by the United States Department of Justice at the end of January. Speaking in a candid interview with LBC, she shared her thoughts on Andrew’s long scrutinized connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful figures mentioned throughout the files.
Reflecting on Andrew’s personal life following his divorce from Sarah Ferguson in 1996, Lady Victoria defended his right to date, arguing that the public often fails to understand the pressures faced by someone in his position.
She said it was difficult for anyone to imagine what it was like being in his shoes, adding that he was single and entitled to live his life rather than withdraw completely from society.
Lady Victoria also claimed that Andrew trusted Epstein, explaining that their long standing acquaintance played a role in that trust.
According to her, Andrew viewed Epstein as someone who simply moved among influential circles and introduced people to attractive and powerful individuals, which at the time did not raise red flags in his mind.
As the conversation continued, Lady Victoria made a statement that left host Tom Swarbrick visibly stunned.
She claimed that the Epstein files revealed how deeply connected Epstein was to powerful people and suggested that being absent from the documents could actually be seen as embarrassing for those who were part of elite social circles at the time.
According to her, not appearing in the files implied that someone was not important enough to be included.The most controversial moment came when Lady Victoria openly questioned whether Epstein was truly dead.
While Epstein’s death in a New York jail cell in 2019 was officially ruled a suicide, she suggested there was a possibility he could still be alive. She referenced rumors she said had circulated widely, including claims that Epstein may be hiding in Israel.
Lady Victoria also pointed to emails included in the newly released files, stating that a prison guard mentioned in the correspondence should be interviewed again.
She referenced claims that bodies were allegedly switched, an idea that previously circulated on anonymous forums before resurfacing in connection with the latest document release.
Her comments have reignited online debate around Epstein’s death, Prince Andrew’s connections, and the broader implications of the newly released files.
While many have criticized her remarks as speculative, others say her willingness to speak openly has added another layer to an already complex and controversial case.
As scrutiny around the Epstein files continues to grow, Lady Victoria’s remarks ensure that questions surrounding power, influence, and accountability remain firmly in the public spotlight.
