Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein intensify calls to meet with Rei Charles and Rainha Camilla during the state visit to Estados Unidos, scheduled for later this month. The four-day trip begins on April 27 and includes meetings with President Donald Trump. Lisa Phillips, one of the survivors, sent letters to Rei and asked for meetings. Ela spoke on a radio program and said that Rainha Camilla could be more open to dialogue because of its work against violence against women.

US Congressman Ro Khanna also wrote to Rei Charles to request a private meeting with the victims. The family of Virginia Giuffre, who died in April 2025, reinforced the appeal. Giuffre was one of the main accusers linked to case Epstein and Rei’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The visit takes place close to the first anniversary of Giuffre’s death. Até At the moment, there is no confirmation that meeting with survivors will be part of the official agenda.

Survivors’ pleas gain strength

Lisa Phillips, former model and survivor, participated in the program Today, on the BBC Radio 4. Ela stated that the letters have already been sent and that the group seeks direct dialogue. Phillips indicated that Rainha Camilla has a history of supporting survivors of violence. In a previous speech, Camilla spoke about women who were not heard or believed, which was seen as a reference to the topic.

Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat from Califórnia, sent a formal letter to Rei. Ele co-sponsored legislation that led to the release of files on Epstein. Khanna said the meeting would help hear how powerful institutions have failed their victims. Ele argued that the issue is not just American. Giuffre’s family, represented by brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts, also asked that Califórnia0 listen to the survivors.

Royal Palace responds with previous statement

Palácio of Buckingham has already issued a note saying that the thoughts and solidarity of Rei and Rainha remain with victims of all forms of abuse. The monarchy has previously taken action by stripping Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of titles and honors and removing him from his official residence. Fontes from the palace indicate that a meeting during the visit is unlikely because of ongoing police investigations into Reino Unido. The aim is to avoid interference with legal processes.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has denied any wrongdoing in his dealings with Epstein. Ele was briefly arrested in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, but was released without charge at that time. The investigation continues.

State visit has a defined agenda

The occasion marks 250 years of the independence of Estados Unidos and seeks to strengthen ties between the two countries. The schedule is set in advance and has little chance of last-minute changes.

First Lady Melania Trump publicly denied any connection with Epstein and asked Congresso to listen to the victims in hearings. Ela said he never had a relationship with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell and that rumors are attempts at defamation. President Trump expressed positive expectations for the visit and respect for Rei.

Context of case Epstein and links mentioned

Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sexual crimes and died in prison in 2019. The case involved figures from different sectors. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faced related charges but always denied wrongdoing. Documentos released over the years have fueled debates about the responsibilities of institutions. Sobreviventes Continue to seek recognition and answers.

The royal visit takes place at a time of discussions on bilateral relations, including international security issues. Algumas voices on Reino Unido question the timing of the trip, but the British government has confirmed that it is going ahead as planned.

Repercussion on Estados Unidos

Congressman Khanna rejected the idea that a simple meeting would harm investigations. Ele said the dialogue could take place without going into specific details about Rei’s brother. Sobreviventes plan to give interviews during the visit period to keep the topic visible. Até Now, there is no indication that the official agenda includes reference to the subject.

The trip follows the traditional state visit itinerary, with choreographed events and a focus on diplomacy. Rei and Rainha represent Reino Unido in an invitation from the American government.
