King Charles refuses to meet with Epstein survivors during his US state visit

On the last day of March, Buckingham Palace finally confirmed that King Charles and his queen consort will undertake a state visit to the United States from April 27-30. Donald Trump will host a state dinner on the 28th, and at some point during the visit, Charles will address the US Congress. Basically no one wants this state visit to happen except for Trump. Charles doesn’t want to go, Camilla doesn’t want to go, Keir Starmer is totally over Trump, both Labour and the Tory parties f–king despise Trump, and the Trump administration is being especially belligerent towards the UK in recent months. It’s a total sh-tshow. Well, hilariously, Rep. Ro Khanna continues to get in Charles’ face about meeting Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. On Monday, Khanna released an open letter to Charles:

The lawmaker who led the charge for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files is calling on King Charles to meet with survivors of the convicted pedophile when he visits the U.S. next month. Charles is set to address a joint session of Congress during his tour to the U.S. in April, but Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna wants him to sit down with the women who’ve accused Epstein of abuse.

The group of survivors has been demanding accountability in the U.S., but their efforts and the slow release of files have helped topple a series of powerful men in recent months, including the former UK ambassador to the U.S. and the downfall of King Charles’s own brother, Andrew.

Khanna, who co-authored the law to release Epstein files with Rep. Thomas Massie, sent a letter to the British monarch at Buckingham Palace this week, pushing him to meet with survivors.

“As author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, I respectfully ask that you privately meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s abuse, so they may speak to you directly about the ways powerful individuals and institutions failed them. Survivors want this meeting,” Khanna wrote.

In his letter, Khanna noted that the mounting pressure for answers regarding Epstein has reached far beyond the U.S., with renewed scrutiny of the convicted sex offender’s activities in the UK and whether public institutions there helped protect him. “Your call for a ‘full, fair and proper’ investigation, and for the law to take its course, recognizes the seriousness of these concerns,” Khanna wrote.

Khanna also pointed out that there are multiple investigations and probes into Epstein’s crime syndicate and that it would be arguably smart politics for Charles to get ahead of both the British and American investigations. Alas, Charles will be too busy meeting with Epstein associate Donald Trump.

A major update regarding King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the US has emerged. The King and Queen will not be able to meet with survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during next month’s visit.

US congressman Ro Khanna wrote to the King on Monday to call for him to meet survivors privately during the state visit, which will take place in late April.

It is understood that the couple will not be able to meet survivors while there are ongoing UK police investigations into matters related to Epstein.

“It is understood that the couple will not be able to meet survivors while there are ongoing UK police investigations into matters related to Epstein…” Why? It’s not like Charles would be criminally charged, nor will he have to testify against his brother. Britain’s legal system would collapse before anything like that happened. There’s no legal reason why Charles couldn’t meet with some of the survivors and yet spend three days with known Epstein associate (and co-conspirator) Donald Trump. Also: will the royal protection officers tackle Ro Khanna if he tries to approach the king? LMAO.
