An American politician has written a letter to King Charles asking the monarch to meet with Epstein survivors ‘ in light of recent developments in the United Kingdom’
King Charles has been called by a US lawmaker to meet the survivors of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein if he does visit America.
Although it has not been confirmed, it is thought the monarch and Queen Camilla will travel to the US at the end of April, but a politician has written a letter to the King ahead of the potential visit. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna has called for Charles to privately meet the women who were victims of the billionaire financier’s horrific crimes, to hear their stories and concerns.
Khanna, co-author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act which released millions of documents related to sex offender to the public, said it was “not solely an American matter”.

In the letter, the lawmaker wrote: “I make this request in light of recent developments in the United Kingdom, including renewed scrutiny of individuals and institutions with ties to Epstein and his network. These developments have raised serious questions about conduct, access, and whether positions of public trust were misused or whether public institutions helped shield wrongdoing.
“Your call for a ‘full, fair and proper’ investigation, and for the law to take its course, recognizes the seriousness of these concerns. As you are aware, this is not solely an American matter.
“Epstein’s network had significant ties to the United Kingdom through Ghislaine Maxwell, through Epstein’s relationships with British public figures, and through the social and political circles in which he operated. These connections raise broader questions about how Epstein was able to maintain influence, credibility, and protection across borders for so long.”
Buckingham Palace, back in October, said: “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.” The California politician added that Congress has reached out to both Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Peter Mandelson to appear in front of an Oversight Committee over their links to Epstein. Andrew and Mandelson have previously denied wrongdoing.
The King’s brother and the former UK ambassador to the US were both sent letter by US politicians asking them to answer questions over their did not reply before his deadline. Neither of the men can be legally compelled by Congress as they are not US nationals.
The letter from Representative Khanna to King Charles added: “A meeting with survivors would provide an opportunity to identify any additional information British institutions and individuals may be able to share and open a dialogue about whether there will be a full accounting of how Epstein’s and Maxwell’s network operated in the United Kingdom. It would also ensure that survivors are heard directly and that these matters are addressed with transparency, seriousness, and accountability.”
King Charles, after his brother was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, said the Palace is would “stand ready to support” the police if it was approached as part of the investigation. Peter Mandelson was also arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and was released on bail.
