King Charles’ State Visit to the US has transformed into a call to action, one that involves many an experts demanding more action from the King of England, action beyond just letting the “law take its course” and instead “forcing Andrew onto a plane to the United States”. In his eyes it “would go far beyond cementing the special relationship or offering words of comfort to the victims of Epstein's appalling abuse.”

The expert in question that made this comment is none other than commentator and royal Editor Russell Myers, during his piece for The Mirror.

He feels it “there can be no clearer demonstration of the royal family’s support for justice for survivors than Andrew revealing what he knows about Epstein’s crimes,” and hence urged the King to ‘do the right thing’ especially since today is two days following the death by suicide of his most vocal accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

After all “Charles and Camilla have the unenviable task of stepping into a diplomatic minefield next week,” the expert also noted. In his eyes, for that the expert feels they should “summon the full force of the so-called ‘soft power’” they claim to hold in order to smooth over desperate relations”.

Near the end, Mr Myers also attempted to phrase the monarch’s efforts in a new light, by bringing to mind the staunch difference he holds between the separations of the state from the Firm and said, “breaking bread with President Trump - who continues to ridicule the UK for not joining America’s latest Middle East conflict and has added fuel to the fire by threatening to withdraw support as punishment for Britain’s sovereignty of the Falkland Islands - shows the royals' dedication to duty. But forcing Andrew onto a plane to the United States would go far beyond cementing the special relationship or offering words of comfort to the victims of Epstein's appalling abuse.”
