Virginia Giuffre, the woman who settled a sexual assault lawsuit against the Duke of York, has revealed she is in hospital with just 'days to live' following a road accident.

Western Australia Police said they received one report of a “minor crash” between a school bus and a car in Neergabby, about 12 miles north of Perth, on March 24.
“The collision was reported by the bus driver the following day,” said a police spokeswoman. “There were no reported injuries as a result of the crash.”
A spokeswoman for Ms Giuffre, Dini von Mueffling, told PA: "Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending."
In March 2022, Ms Giuffre received millions from Prince Andrew in a civil sexual assault settlement.
She sued him for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was 17, after she was trafficked by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duke of York denied the claims, insisted that he had never met Ms Giuffre.
In Monday’s post about the accident, she said it had been “the worst start to a new year”.
"I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.," she said.
"I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology."
Ms Giuffre continued: "I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day.
"Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all."
On March 22, Ms Giuffre had posted pictures of her children on Instagram, following rumours that she had separated from her husband Robert after 22 years of marriage.
In the caption accompanying the picture, she wrote: "My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies.
"I miss them so very much. I have been through hell & back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else," she added.

"Hurt me, abuse me but don’t take my babies. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens."
A spokesperson for the East Metropolitan Health Service, the organisation which runs Royal Perth Hospital, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that Ms Giuffre was not at any of their facilities.
