Virginie works as a psychotherapist specialising in trauma, family therapy and grief, with private practices in Shaftesbury and Notting Hill.

She sent an open letter in February 2023 in which she encouraged her daughter to return.

In the letter, she said: "You are not alone in this situation. We will support you in whatever way we can.

"I know you well enough; you are focused, intelligent, passionate and complex with so much to offer the world.

"So many of your friends have come forward to say such positive things about you, assuring us of their warmest love and support for you and your family.

"You have made choices in your personal adult life which have proven to be challenging, however I respect them, I know that you want to keep your precious new-born child at all costs."

Virginie reportedly married Guy de Selliers De Moranville in 1998.
