King, Queen won’t be able to meet Epstein survivors

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.

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 in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office over their links to the pedophile financier.

They were later released under investigation.

The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) announced Tuesday that the police response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s release of the so-called Epstein files will be “stepped up.”

The NPCC added that a dedicated group would look at “the scale, scope and nature of possible UK-based VAWG (violence against women and girls) crimes on file”.

He also invited alleged victims of Epstein who spoke to UK media to speak to investigators about potential crimes that may have occurred on British soil.

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 the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

In his post on the Truth Social site, US President Donald Trump announced that the trip would be a “significant opportunity” and added that there would be a “beautiful Banquet” at the White House on 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.

Trump said: “I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I respect so much. It will be AMAZING!” he said.
