The family members, Sky and Amanda Roberts, stated that they hoped meeting directly with survivors could lead to action against Epstein's co-conspirators. They also expressed gratitude towards King Charles for taking decisive action against Prince Andrew, who has been stripped of his military roles, patronages, and royal titles due to his association with Epstein.
Buckingham Palace did not respond to requests for comment but previously stated that the king could not become involved while investigations connected to sexual abuse by Epstein remain ongoing. According to Al Jazeera, Prince Andrew has denied all allegations and reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting wrongdoing.
The state visit comes as Britain seeks to steady relations with U.S. President Donald Trump amid tensions over the Iran war. The trip is timed to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence and has placed additional attention on the monarch's program in Washington, per HuffPost and Reuters.
