“We urge King Charles to meet with us and the survivors and listen to what we have to say,” said brother Sky Roberts along with his wife Amanda on the BBC’s “Newsnight” on Tuesday evening. Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla (78), are on a state visit to the USA from April 27th to 30th.
Virginia Giuffre, who committed suicide in April 2025, is considered one of the most prominent victims of US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse ring. Giuffre had accused former British Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of having abused her on several occasions. Over time, Charles’ younger brother lost all titles and honors. Mountbatten-Windsor denies the allegations. A civil lawsuit by Giuffre in the US ended in a settlement reportedly worth millions.

According to the information, the royal couple’s visit comes “at a very personal time” for the family. Her arrival came “just two days after the first anniversary of our beloved sister’s death.” The family is grateful that Charles Giuffre’s allegations have been listened to in the past. “In her memory, we encourage the King to speak to us and the survivors and to continue to campaign for justice across the UK.”
No meeting during ongoing investigations
However, according to information from the PA news agency, such a meeting will not take place. Accordingly, the royal couple cannot meet any of Epstein’s victims while the British police’s investigation into matters relating to the sex offender, who died in custody in 2019, continues.
After the publication of the latest Epstein files, Andrew was recently arrested. He is suspected of passing confidential documents to the US financier during his time as trade representative. The investigation is ongoing. Over time, Charles had repeatedly distanced himself from his brother. (hkl/sda/dpa)
