PRINCE Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts has said he should hear “shackles” instead of Westminster Abbey’s bells on his 60th birthday.
Jeffrey Epstein’s teenage sex slave also called the Duke of York a “big spoilt baby” and said she is “bloody fuming” at the public honour despite his failure to speak to the FBI.
The government yesterday backed down over forcing town halls to fly the Union Jack on Andrew’s birthday on February 19.
But Westminster Abbey’s bells will still ring out to mark the occasion, even though the Duke of York has stepped back from royal duties over his friendship with Epstein.
Virginia tweeted: “So the big spoilt baby got his way and now the bells will ring for him.
“The only thing that should be ringing for him is the sound of shackles tied around his ankles on his way to the tower.
“Far out- I feel like I’m honestly living in some weird version of the twilight zone.”
She added: “Thank you for being upset by this. I’m bloody fuming!! We the people have to stand united in one belief that it IS NOT OK TO SEXUALLY ABUSE ANYONE- EVER!!
“Why that is so hard for anyone to understand is beyond me. #Justice #EnoughIsEnough #PrinceAndrew #DontRingTheBells.”
She also retweeted another user’s post that said: “The queen thinks we should all celebrate #PrinceAndrew’s 60th birthday.
“But @VRSVirginia’s life has been traumatised before her 18th birthday. Royalty is toxic.”
Virginia – who now uses her married name Giuffre – has claimed Epstein and his “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell forced her to have sex with Andrew when she was 17.
The Duke strenuously denies he had sex with her.
He also denies seeing or knowing of any wrongdoing when he stayed at Epstein’s homes in Paris, New York and the US Virgin Islands.
Andrew quit royal duties indefinitely in November after a disastrous Newsnight interview on his friendship with Epstein, who hanged himself in jail in August.
Last month the FBI said Andrew has “provided zero co-operation”, despite his public vow to assist US officials investigating the paedo financier.
But there was fury when The Sun revealed Whitehall officials wrote to councils reminding them to fly a Union Jack for the Duke’s birthday.
He is on a list of around ten senior royals who get the honour every year.
Critics accused mandarins of “putting stuffy history in front of public opinion” and some councils refused to obey the diktat.
Ministers caved in after talks with the Palace, and last night No10 said the Department of Culture “will be advising there is no requirement.”
The Abbey comes under the jurisdiction of the monarch.
It said: “The bells are rung for the birthdays of HM the Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh; their children; and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children.
“There are no plans to change these arrangements.”
Yesterday it was reported Andrew agreed to turn down a ceremonial promotion to Admiral to avoid any further backlash.
Last week the Queen and Prince Charles held an emergency meeting to discuss the scandal.
