Giuffre 'had feared Prince Andrew payout was at risk'

Epstein victim in £7.5m defamation legal fight

- CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

VIRGINIA Giuffre was left "extremely distressed" after learning her multi-million-pound Prince Andrew payout was at risk two weeks before her suicide.

The mother of three was worried her fortune could be taken from her after another victim of the royal's paedophile pal, Jeffrey Epstein, sued her for defamation.

Ms Giuffre, who died on April 25 in Australia, was being sued by artist Rina Oh for falsely labelling her as Epstein's girlfriend and one of his recruiters.

Under New York law, the £7.5million suit will pass on to Ms Giuffre's estate.
