Virginia, who was one of convicted sex offender Epstein'smost prominent victims,made several allegationsagainst Andrew when he was still a prince. In 2022, the pair reached an out-of-court settlement in regard to these claims. But the latest batch of Epstein files has renewed criticism of the former prince.

Now, a clip of Sarah defending Andrew against Virginia, who allegedly took her own life last year, is going viral. In the clip, from January 2015, the former Duchess said: "I don't understand how people can make salacious lies up."

"This is defamation of character of a person that is the opposite of how he has been portrayed," she added, before describing Andrew as "one of the greatest men I've ever met in my life."

"It is a shockingly accusatory lie which I won't stand by and let anybody believe," she continued. "I have to shut it down right now."

In aRedditthread discussing the clip, one person branded Sarah's behavior as "embarrassing."

"Probably one of the worst people walking this earth," someone else said.

"She's knee deep in it," commented another Reddit user. "She can't claim she didn't know what was going on."

They continued: "Disgusting to see this coming from a woman and a mother of two girls. I guess she is ok with it as long as it's not her girls being trafficked."

Sarah herself is mentioned in the Epstein files numerous times, too, although inclusion is not anindication of wrongdoing. Among the documents, there are emails that show the disgraced duchess asking the late financier for money tohelp pay off debts.

TMZ reports that someone sent a "sophisticated" note with a demand to be paid in cryptocurrency other than bitcoin in an amount that's close to the initial $6 million ransom.

"This email graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn't paid," TMZ reports. The outlet said it would not be sharing any additional details about the email, which has been sent to the FBI.

As far as the public is aware, whomever is sending these notes, whether they be legitimate or not, has not provided the Guthrie family with proof of life.

Ina different note sent to TMZ earlier this week, someone claimed to know the identity of the person behind Nancy's disappearance. Whomever sent that note asked for 1 Bitcoin up front for the information and another after an arrest had been made. That note indicated that Nancy had been taken across the border and was in Mexico.

In it's latest update, TMZ claims that law enforcement has contacted authorities in Mexico. OnTuesday, Feb. 17, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said there was no indication that Nancy was taken across the border.
