Virginia died in Australia earlier this year by suicide, with her posthomous memoir set to be released next week.
In the wake of Andrew’s decision, Virginia’s family have said: “We, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, believe that Prince Andrew’s decision to give up his titles is vindication for our sister and survivors everywhere.
“This decisive action is a powerful step forward in our fight to bring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking network to justice.”
They also added that they want further action to be taken, adding: “Further, we believe it is appropriate for King Charles to remove the title of Prince.”
The Sun on Sunday previously revealed an email in which he told the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, “We are in this together”.
This email was sent three months after the date Andrew had claimed that he had cut contact with Epstein. During his 2019 interview with Emily Maitlis for BBC’s Newsnight, Andrew claimed that he had cut contact with him in December 2010.
It has also emerged that the email was sent the day after the now infamous image of Andrew posing with Ms Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was first published.
