US Congressman Urges King Charles To Meet Epstein Victims During State Visit

US Congressman Urges King Charles to Meet Epstein Victims During State Visit A Democratic congressman has called on King Charles III to privately meet with victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during his upcoming visit to the United States. Ro Khanna, a representative from California, wrote to the King urging him to hear directly from survivors about “how powerful individuals and institutions failed them. Khanna said such a meeting could help uncover additional information and encourage greater transparency how Epstein’s network operated, particularly its connections to the United Kingdom. The request comes ahead of the monarch’s planned state visit to the US, where he is expected to attend official engagements including a state dinner and an address to Congress. The issue is especially sensitive due to Epstein’s links to Prince Andrew, the King’s brother, who has faced longstanding scrutiny over his association with the disgraced financier. Prince Andrew has denied wrongdoing but stepped back from public royal duties amid the controversy. Khanna, who has been involved in efforts to push for the release of investigative files related to Epstein, argued that engaging directly with survivors would demonstrate accountability and openness from the British monarchy. Some victims have reportedly indicated they would be willing to meet the King, though it remains unclear whether such a meeting will take place. Critics of the proposal, however, have dismissed the idea as unrealistic and diplomatically sensitive, noting that the British monarch is not directly responsible for the actions of Epstein or those connected to him.
