Mind blown…. I remember Lady Victoria when I lived over there around 2000. She was definitely a big staple in the night scene and in the gossip mags. I mean, everything I thought I thought about VG, I am now second guessing it all. It seems like LV is basically telling GM to spill it. Thank you so much for this… I mean… 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Oh very interesting!! I actually really like her, via text anyway. She’s funny and down to earth. With the most proper accent on the audio messages 😁

I can only imagine the tales she has from that era!

You needed to do one on Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco!!!!! So. Much. Drama.

I swear every royal family is a goldmine of scandal. I just started a new book on the Romanovs. But I'd love to move into the Monaco drama!

This is so bizarre. As a graphic designer who knows Photoshop like the back of my hand, that solo image of Virginia is a digital "painting" made in a program like Procreate (my best guess). It does not look like a real painting at all. (Plus, why would anyone paint an image of Virginia in the first place??) The photo with Andrew, Virginia and GM is an actual photo. Hands can be darker than regular skin tone if the person has a higher circulation rate. All the other points noted look real to me. I don't believe Lady VH one bit. She's trying to make GM seem less evil by stating it was only a boob grab even though she admitted that GM did the same things as VG did.. well duh you just ratted GM out, Lady VH lolz.

I don't think she thinks G is innocent. Not at least from what I've read. But she does believe V should be tried as a procurer too.

I second this! I am a high-end retoucher and can confirm that what is fake here is the digital painting about Virginia.Look at the left side of the "painting" the arm holding that towel has nothing to do with the rest of the body.lt is flat and has a different skin tone as well compared to the rest of the body.No idea why LV is supporting P.Andrew so vehemently.

FYI, in one of LV's story highlights, she does emphasize that the solo picture is a painting created by one of the other victims. So, I wouldn't really pay much attention to that one. In the other "real" one of Virginia/PA, I will say the strong/consistent shadow line along the right side of her does seem a little bit off to me. This is coming from my years of more novice Photoshop skills (so this is only unbiased speculation on my part).

okay, I downloaded the image and zoomed in to have a closer look in PS. And I have to say I was wrong..this is a fake image.Fake in a sense that PA and VG were defo shot together but elsewhere,maybe at a party or in a different room.. then they were cut out from that image and placed in this one where GM most probably was just standing alone.The lights on PA and VG are identical both have the same red eye effect which comes from a strong flash used indoors at night.The direction of the light landing on GM is different.If they were in the same room there would be a shadow on GM`s body coming from VG but there is none and there would be a shadow on the wall behind PA but there is none.They were shot with harsh light which always creates strong and sharp shadows especially if what is behind you is close to you.The pathing (cut out) on the left side of PA`s shirt is terrible and the right side of his face too (chin and collar of the shirt) and same with VG`s hair on the left. Terrible masking. So yeah something is off with this picture.

I agree with you on the solo image. You can see an outline around her that doesn’t match the background.

My only reference of LVH is from her association with Lindsay Lohan during some of Lindsay’s worst times. So, I’m one the fence here. I don’t see tampering either.

That makes sense. I just saw a photo of her with Lohan and Lindsay looked so happy and healthy in it!

Holy Eff. The photographic proof is damning. I had not followed this story that closely to hear that she V was essenially being groomed to be G2.0. I think all parties involved are vile to a large extent with varying shades of grey. Like the Johnny Depp trial - I am hooked. Thank you.

We all just want the truth. No matter how dark or sinister. I hope it all comes out soon, one way or another.

Woooah! Yes, once upon a time Lady Victoria was always in the news here in the UK. She was very pally with Tara Palmer Tomkinson.. it was during the 90’s and they were so glamorous and exciting! Unfortunately Tara PT died and I didn’t hear much of her after that. This is really interesting information and I’ll be spending the rest of the evening inspecting that photo…! Thanks Jessica xx

when i first saw that photo I thought it looked wrong - then I noticed why - Andrew's arm is ape-like long - not credible

The solo photo looks fake to me. Her hand looks distorted like someone tried to make it look like it’s in a different position.

Okay, there's no denying that photo looks doctored.... crazy.

I may be under a rock, but is JE & GM the root of the long rumor of a democratic pedophile sex ring? Pizza gate? Ellen D. running an underground sex cult?
