The family of ex-Prince Andrew’s longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre had a scathing response to his arrest on Thursday: “He was never a prince.”
The family heralded the bust of King Charles III’s little brother — even though it was not related to the allegations that he had sex with Giuffre as 17-year-old sex trafficking victim.
“At last,” Guiffre’s two siblings said in a statement soon after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was hauled away by cops in the UK.
“Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

Virginia Giuffre’s family released a statement after ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest.
“On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the UK’s Thames Valley Police for their investigation, and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The statement concluded: “For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”
Giuffre, who died by suicide last April, had for years said that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, made her have sex with Andrew at least three times, starting when she was 17.

Andrew carried on a relationship for years after he claimed he cut off contact — and long after Epstein was copped to child sex trafficking in 2008.
The charges Andrew faces involve his alleged disclosure of government trade secrets to Epstein and his pals while he was an official envoy for the government.
Giuffre recounted being trafficked to Prince Andrew in detail in lawsuits, police reports and a memoir that was published after her death.
Before they had sex for the first time in 2001, he commented, “My daughters are just a little younger than you,” according to the book.
Princess Eugenie would have been 10 at the time, and Princess Beatrice would have been 12.
Giuffre added that they went out to a club and that Andrew “was sort of a bumbling dancer, and I remember he sweated profusely.”
That particular allegation led to Prince Andrew famously and bizarrely claiming that he could not sweat because he had a medical condition as a result of his service in the Falklands War.
He also previously claimed that he could not have had sex with Giuffre at the time she said because he was having a pizza party with Beatrice.
And investigation later found no evidence of him at the restaurant at the time he claimed.
