Virginia Roberts claims to have lost the original print of the famous photo of her and Prince Andrew, which could further the disgraced royal's argument that the image was doctored.
'The picture is not in Virginia’s possession,' a source close to Roberts - who now goes by her married name of Giuffre - told the Daily Beast. It was taken by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, with his friend - recently-convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell, visible right behind them.
Another insider said they weren't even sure if the original of print of the picture 'still existed.' It was in one of a number of boxes shipped from Giuffre's former home in Colorado to Sydney, Australia, where she now lives, and where it has been mislaid.
The notorious photograph was taken at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home in March 2001 and shows a smiling 41-year-old Prince Andrew with his arm around Giuffre's waist when she was 17 as Maxwell stands behind the pair in a doorway.
A photograph of the photo was taken by a professional photographer, with that reproduction first appearing in the Mail on Sunday in 2011. The same copy has been used ever since - but the original has now been misplaced.
Giuffre claims the picture - which has earned her $160,000 in media fees - was taken the same night the Duke of York allegedly sexually assaulted her the first time.

Except the age of consent in the UK is 16.
This Giuffrie is about one of the biggest money grubbing hookers out there.
So what if Prince Andrew had sex with her when she was 17? So what?
It’s called “out-of-court settlement.”
The check musta cleared.
Wonder if this news has anything to do with Eugenie’s trip out to see Harry...
The House of Windsor’s Epstein Problem is a national security issue for the UK.
The fact that MI5 and MI6 looked the other way for decades means someone with some juice wanted their hooks into the House of Windsor.
Again, a national security issue.
The prurient headlines are a distraction from the underlying national security nightmare that’s likely still ongoing since the Windsor’s Epstein Problem has metastasized. It’s not just Andrew anymore.
You’ve hit the crux of the matter. A way to silence and control the crown.
I think that the point is blackmail. The Queen gets told to cooperate, or things get ugly for her family.
And it is 17 in New York State now; it may have been lower back in 2001, so any flings at Epstein’s maninsion in NYC seem legally permissable also.
You don't seem to know much about the history of the British Royal Family and what they have been doing in their private lives for centuries. Read it up. Lots of books at the library about it.
Have you tried blackmailing The King/Queen of England before?
I wouldn’t advise it.
History is full of plenty of people who tried that, a lot of them losing their heads just prior to dying.
Blame the victim? Really?
She was trapped in the pedo web, while underage.
Attacking her is awful.
You are a miserable human being, and an apologist for despicable behavior, imo.
Just how is this poor excuse of a woman a “victim” if (no proof so far) she had sex with Andrew at 17 which is perfectly legal in the UK?
I'd be happy to return serve with compound interest.
Sadly, you are too far down in the swamp for me to even see you.
Ok - draw as much attention to your derogatory comments toward Virginia as you like.
Just awful.
again, she should sue her parents who let her go off with perverts.
who got her her passport?
No, I haven’t, and thanks for the advice. You seemed fixated on Prince Andrew, and I wanted to point out that even the Queen is affected by his actions.
The closest I’ve seen to anyone’s head getting lopped off that I’ve seen in my lifetime is Princess Dianna, and it was because she was a liability to the crown. At least that is my take on it.
Yup. You are an awful poor excuse of a “human being”.
At least you got that right.

This comment attacking the victim speaks for itself.
Who would do this?
