An ex-girlfriend of has made cruel comments after a woman who settled a sexual assault lawsuit against the Duke of York said . Virginia Giuffre posted on Instagram that doctors had given her "four days to live" after her car was hit by a school bus.

The Duke paid millions to in the United States with Ms Giuffre, who he claimed never to have met. She sued him for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was 17 after she was trafficked by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew repeatedly and strenuously denies the claim.

Ms Giuffre said she was involved in a "serious accident", posting a picture of herself covered in bruises on Instagram.

Lady Victoria Hervey briefly dated the Duke of York in 1999. In a brutal message, she said what happened to Ms Giuffre was "karma."

She added on Instagram: "If Virginia Giuffre really does have days to live, then a complete confession is needed. I don't believe it though, the FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are coming. She's conveniently dying to evade jail.

"I think it's time that Robert Giuffre, who has custody of their teenage children to speak."

She added: "I mean she is the Queen of the fake photo after all. Hence I'm such a skeptic and don't believe in jumping to any conclusions right away from a visual."

Ms Giuffre recently separated from her husband, Robert, after 22 years of marriage. She said in a previous Instagram post that he had rescued her from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's clutches.

Lady Victoria's jibe went on to claim Robert "knows the truth" about Ms Giuffre's "fake photo and all her con jobs".

Ms Giuffre has been living near Perth, Western Australia, and posted a picture on Instagram from the city on March 2. She also posted pictures of her children on Instagram on March 22, saying she was missing them.

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.

Her spokeswoman Dini von Mueffling said: "Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending."

A spokesperson for the East Metropolitan Health Service, which runs Royal Perth Hospital, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that Ms Giuffre was not at any of their facilities.

A Western Australia Public Transport Authority spokesperson also told the ABC they were unaware of any such bus crashes.

In Monday's post about what happened, she said it had been "the worst start to a new year", adding: "I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time".

She wrote: "They've given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

"I think it's important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can."

Brad Edwards, who represented Ms Giuffre in past legal cases, said they were "hoping for better news in the coming days", according to .
