King Charles subtly mentions Epstein victims in US Congress

Many members of Congress, Epstein’s victims and their families had called for the King to acknowledge survivors.

Earlier, King Charles was urged to meet the survivors of convicted Jeffrey Epstein when the monarch visits the US.

However, according to a letter from lawyers representing King Charles and Queen Camilla in response to a request, “The king and queen have consistently made clear their support for all victims of abuse, wherever and however perpetrated."

It added that because of “ongoing police inquiries” in the United Kingdom, King Charles was “unable to meet survivors or comment directly on the matters under inquiry.”
