Virginia Giuffre's Family Urges King Charles to Meet Epstein Survivors During US Visit
The family of Virginia Giuffre is asking King Charles to meet with Jeffrey Epstein survivors during his upcoming state visit to the United States. Giuffre's brother and sister-in-law made the request as the trip coincides with the anniversary of her death.
Sky and Amanda Roberts, Virginia Giuffre's brother and sister-in-law, issued a statement Saturday urging King Charles to meet with Epstein survivors during his state visit to the US later this month.
"We strongly urge King Charles to meet with us and survivors and hear what we have to say," the Roberts said in their statement to Reuters.
Virginia Giuffre was a key accuser of Jeffrey Epstein who claimed she was trafficked to King Charles's brother, Prince Andrew. Giuffre's family says the timing of the royal visit coincides with the anniversary of her death.
The request puts renewed focus on the royal family's connection to the Epstein scandal. Prince Andrew previously settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre out of court, though he denied her allegations.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His associate Ghislaine Maxwell was later convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
This puts pressure on the British royal family to address their connection to the Epstein scandal through Prince Andrew. The request highlights ongoing calls for accountability from survivors of sex trafficking.
King Charles's response to the family's request and whether any meetings will occur during his US state visit later this month.
