King Charles ‘will not be able to meet with Epstein victims on US visit’
The King and Queen will not be able to meet the survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during their state visit to the US next month, according to a new report.
US congressman Ro Khanna wrote to the King on Monday, urging him to meet privately with survivors during a state visit at the end of April.
It is understood that the couple will not be able to meet with the survivors while the UK police’s investigations into the issues related to Epstein continue.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York, and Lord Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the US, were arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office over their links to the pedophile financier.
They were later released under investigation.
Charles and Camilla’s long-awaited historic trip is scheduled to take place in late April, despite calls for it to be postponed or even canceled due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
US President Donald Trump announced in his post on the Truth Social site that the trip will be “an important opportunity” and added that a “beautiful Banquet” will be held at the White House on the evening of April 28.
He also revealed that the “historic state visit” would take place over four days, from April 27 to 30, although Buckingham Palace decided not to disclose the exact dates in its own official announcement.
Mr. Trump said: “I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I respect so much. It will be AMAZING!” he added.
