"Finally, today, our broken hearts have been comforted by the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty," Giuffre's siblings said in a statement shared with CBS News.

The family expressed gratitude to the police for Thursday's arrest.

"He was never a prince. To survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you," the siblings said.

Virginia Giuffre accused then-Prince Andrew of raping her in 2001, when she was 17. Giuffre sued Andrew in 2021, and the parties reached a settlement the following year. However, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor did not admit any guilt.

Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025, at the age of 41.
