King Charles III is about to make history as he will be landing on American soil on April 27 to reunite with Donald Trump and address Congress. The state visit has already polarized the Americans’ opinions, particularly after Jeffrey Epstein’s links with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles III’s brother.
On April 4, the survivors of abuse linked to Jeffrey Epstein are urging the Monarch of the United Kingdom to meet with them during his upcoming visit to Washington, framing this request as a test of the monarchy’s accountability for the atrocious moments they lived over the years.
An appeal was made by relatives of Virginia Giuffre, who stated the state visit for the 250th independence anniversary coincides with the first anniversary of her death. The short statement called on the king to “hear directly from survivors” and push for further action against those linked to Epstein’s network.
Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual abuse, allegations that he consistently denied, even with an out-of-court settlement in 2022, without admitting liability. Neither King Charles III nor Buckingham Palace has commented on the latest request, which raises concerns over his state visit to the United Kingdom.
