Virginia Giuffre's Mysterious Final Letter Released After Her Death - Photo

The message — urging survivors to stand together and fight for their future — was released as advocates marched in her honour in the United States, linking private reflection with public action at a moment of collective grief.

In the quiet days after Virginia Giuffre's death, her family made a discovery that would soon resonate across continents — a handwritten message tucked among her personal writings, urging survivors to stand together and fight.

On April 30, 2025, members of her family, including her sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, and her brother, Danny Wilson, posted a portion of the note to Facebook. The message, they said, was found while they were spending time together and reflecting on her life. Giuffre had written:

"Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims. Is protesting the answer? I don't know. But we've got to start somewhere."

Her spokeswoman clarified to publications that the document was discovered at Giuffre's home and was part of her wider collection of writings. However, it was not intended to be interpreted as a suicide note.

As news of the letter circulated, it sparked various online reactions, with some netizens revisiting her past and others questioning the timing of her family's public statements. "the family all come out now , anyone nos the reason ?? [sic]" one person commented.

"Poor Virginia had been married and living long years beforer start this in Australia with her husband and children for years when she joined these nefarious proceedings. May God have mercy on her soul. How could anyone fall for such a scoundrel as Epstein? hmi [sic]," another wrote.

A Message Shared as Supporters Marched

The timing of the post was not accidental. The family said they learned that supporters — including members of the non-profit Strength Through Strides — had gathered in Washington, D.C., meeting with senators at the U.S. Capitol before marching to the Lincoln Memorial in Giuffre's honour.

In their Facebook statement, they explained they had been going through journal entries when they came across the passage. They described it as a meaningful moment to share publicly, adding that survivors should know Giuffre stood with them and that her voice would not be silenced.

When the group reached the Lincoln Memorial, the march organiser received an emotional call from Giuffre's family.

They concluded their post with, "To all survivors and those protesting. We stand with you in solidarity and know the fight is not over!"

According to Giuffre's spokeswoman, neither Giuffre nor the organisers of the march had known one another personally, and the event had been planned before her death. However, once the family became aware of it, they felt it was "apt" to release her words.

An Emotional Day at the Capitol

Summer Willis, founder of Strength Through Strides and organiser of the march, described the gathering as a "powerful day" spent advocating for stronger protections for survivors. Willis said Giuffre "was the first advocate I ever saw speaking out," adding that she gave her the courage to share her own story.

The march also coincided with Denim Day, an initiative that supports survivors of sexual assault and challenges victim-blaming. Participants traditionally wear denim as a symbol of protest.

When the group reached the Lincoln Memorial, the march organiser received an emotional call from Giuffre's family. She recalled that those present gathered around as the family read aloud the handwritten message. The founder shared:

"Everyone just stood around the phone as we listened to Virginia's family and read us the note. They said thank you for carrying on her legacy. We were all crying. I never got to thank Virginia. But I can carry on her legacy and work for survivors in her honor."

Remembering Her Advocacy

Giuffre died by suicide at 41 on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at her farm outside Perth, Australia. In the months leading up to her death, her family said she had been experiencing significant emotional and physical pain.

Roberts revealed that the burdens she carried accumulated over time and ultimately became overwhelming. As her relatives grieve, they say they are remembering her for her courage in speaking publicly about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting minors for prostitution in Florida, also died by apparent suicide in 2019 at 66 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Maxwell, now 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence following her 2021 conviction for child sex trafficking in connection to Epstein.

Another prominent name in the scandal is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. In 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in New York against the former Duke of York before the case was ultimately settled out of court in February 2022 for an undisclosed sum.

Since then, online reaction to the renewed focus on Mountbatten-Windsor remains divided. "You play with fire you get burned," one person commented.

However, another wrote, "I know Andrew has done wrong, he's constantly paying the price for that, where are all the other people in all this!" A third added, "I think they are just picking on Andrew. because [sic] he is a royal. Maybe they are trying to destroy the Royal family. It is so sad."

Continuing Her Work

To honour Virginia Giuffre's legacy, her family said they will continue the mission of Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), the non-profit organisation she founded to support survivors of sexual assault.

Roberts said Giuffre wished for survivors to receive justice, adding that advocacy for others defined who she was. In death, her handwritten words — once private — now stand as a call to action.
