US Congressman Urges King Charles to Meet Epstein Survivors During US Visit

A US lawmaker has called on King Charles III to meet survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during his upcoming visit to the United States. The King and Queen Camilla are reportedly planning the trip for the end of April.

Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who co-sponsored legislation to compel the US Justice Department to release Epstein files last year, wrote to the King urging a private meeting with victims to hear firsthand “how powerful individuals and institutions failed them.”

Khanna noted that Epstein’s network had significant links to the UK, particularly through Ghislaine Maxwell and connections with British public figures.

The Congressman emphasized that such a meeting could help identify additional information British institutions might provide and ensure survivors are heard directly, addressing the matter with transparency and accountability.

Khanna also highlighted that members of Congress have sought testimony from the King’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as well as former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson, regarding their ties to Epstein.

Andrew, who was stripped of his titles last year, has denied wrongdoing and cannot be compelled to testify in the US. Mandelson has declined to cooperate, citing a criminal investigation.

The King’s visit, if it proceeds, will include meetings in Washington with Donald Trump and an address to Congress, ahead of the US’s 250th independence anniversary.

Buckingham Palace has previously stated that the King’s sympathies remain with victims of all forms of abuse, and the Royal Family has pledged support for police inquiries related to Andrew’s alleged misconduct.
