A US lawmaker is calling on King Charles to meet the survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when the monarch visits the US. While not officially confirmed, the King and Queen Camilla are reportedly planning a visit at the end of April. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who co-sponsored a law that compelled the US justice department to release the Epstein files last year, is urging the King to meet with victims privately to learn directly about how powerful individuals and institutions let them down. In a letter to King Charles, Khanna stated, As you are aware, this is not solely an American matter. He pointed out that Epstein's network had significant ties to the UK through individuals like Ghislaine Maxwell and other public figures. These connections raise questions about how Epstein maintained influence and protection across borders for so long. Khanna also mentioned that Congress members have sought testimony from members of the British royal family regarding their connections to Epstein, including King Charles’ brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has denied any wrongdoing. If the King's US trip occurs, he and Queen Camilla are expected to meet President Donald Trump and address Congress ahead of the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence in July. The BBC has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
