Prince Andrew’s ex Lady Victoria Hervey has been spotted in West Hollywood today – following a string of bizarre claims about the conflict in Ukriane.
Photographs show the socialite, 45, looking pensive as she ambled down the street, clutching an Apple laptop and her phone in one hand, and a brightly coloured paper gift bag in the other.
She dressed to impress in black trousers and a white knee length coat for the occasion, paired with black studded boots and a matching shoulder bag.
Lady Victoria – who weeks ago shared bizarre social media rants about the now notorious photo of Prince Andrew with accuser Virginia Giuffre – opted to keep her make-up light and natural, and she finished off her look with loose, wavy blonde locks.
The new sighting follow bizarre conspiracy claims made by the socialite over the weekend, regarding the conflict in Ukraine, in which she said the country ‘is bombing itself’.

Lady Victoria, who dated Prince Andrew in the 90s, shared several posts on her Instagram page last week, alleging that the ‘Ukrainian army is bombing its own people’.
She posted one story featuring a tweet which read: ‘Truth bomb MSM. Journalist and war correspondent Anne-Laure Bonnell, who is in the Ukraine, shocks everyone: ‘I do not defend Putin, but the truth is, I am close to civilians. What I say is that the Ukranian army is bombing its own people.’
The quote was attributed to Anne-Laure Bonnell, who lives in Donbass but has denied being a journalist. She made the comments during an appearance on French news channel C News last week.
The clip of Anne-Laure was first broadcast at the start of the month and in it, she claimed she was denouncing the ‘conflict hat had been going on for eight years.’
While appearing on French news channel C News she claimed: ‘It is something serious, which has obviously escaped [the Europeans]: the Russian-speaking population of the Donbass has been targeted by its own government…was bombed by the Kiev government.
‘[…] Today, on the side where I am, the abuses are Ukrainian. […] On the Donbass side, near the front line, it is the Ukrainian army. […]
‘The film I made in 2015 is proof of these crimes against humanity […].’
Lady Victoria made headlines earlier this week, after going on a bizarre social media rant at the weekend, during which she claimed the Ukraine conflict is a ‘conspiracy
She then claimed there had been 13,000 deaths since 2014.
The view presented by the commentator is very similar to the line held by Russian authorities and their supporters.
Moscow-backed separatists have controlled the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, known collectively as Donbas, for almost eight years. It is an area of Eastern Ukraine where misinformation and Russian propaganda is rife.
According to Liberation.fr, in 2020 she said she ‘refused to be called a journalist’ , since she had gone to the Donbass to report, because ‘extremely disappointed by the profession’ and ‘ashamed of the media coverage of this conflict’.
In a second Instagram post, Lady Victoria wrote: ‘Getting back to Ukraine. Sorry if I’m jumping. If in fact that local journalist is correct, then who do you think is providing these soldiers with weapons to bomb their own country.’
In a third post, she added: ‘Thoughts: The totalitarians have switched to a new fear tool, the Russians. They have moved the Cult of Covid members seamlessly into the Cult of Russia like they just flipped a switch inside their heads.
‘My Cult of Covid members on Facebook changed their ‘I’m vaccinated’ monikers to ‘I support Ukraine’ while I was watching.
Lady Victoria went on to share a debunked video which she claimed was ‘another slip up’ which claimed to show a reporter in front of moving ‘corpses’ in Ukraine. In fact, the video is of a German journalist reporting from a climate change protest
The socialite went on to make two further posts about Ukraine, suggesting ‘totalitarians’ had ‘switched to a new fear tool’ after Covid
‘It is amazing to watch.’
Lady Victoria went on to share a debunked video which she claimed was ‘another slip up’ which claimed to show a reporter in front of moving ‘corpses’ in Ukraine.
During the clip, which has been widely shared online, one of the bodies, wrapped in black plastic, was spotted moving.
However the video is not from Ukraine but of a protest held last month on 4 February in Vienna. The person in front of the camera was a Germany-based reporter, Marvin Bergauer, who reported for the news channel OE24.TV.
The former ‘It Girl’, who is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, has made a series of outlandish allegations in the last few weeks, including stating the notorious image of the Duke of York and Virginia, which was reportedly taken in March 2001 at Ghislaine Maxwell‘s London apartment, was faked.
Prince Andrew’s ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey recently claimed photographs from Naomi Campbell’s birthday party were ‘faked’ after previously saying they were used to create the notorious image of Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre (pictured)
The notorious snap with the Duke of York, which was reportedly taken in March 2001 at Ghislaine Maxwell ‘s London apartment, has been reproduced countless times around the world after Ms Giuffre – known before her marriage as Virginia Roberts – shared it with The Mail on Sunday in February 2011
In a series of Instagram stories posted to her page, the socialite said ‘nothing added up’ in the story of Prince Andrew and Virginia
Lady Victoria has claimed in recent weeks it was pieced together using a photo taken at Naomi Campbell’s birthday party on board a yacht in St Tropez in May 2001, in which Virginia can be seen wearing the same white tank top with colourful patterned jeans.
However taking to Instagram last week, Victoria appeared to contradict herself by questioning the validity of those photos, saying: ‘At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if these photos are also fake because they only surfaced in 2019.’
In a separate story posted to Lady Victoria’s page, the socialite wrote: ‘Nothing adds up at all. It’s the LIE that keeps on giving.’
