Virginia Giuffre’s family renew calls for King Charles to meet with them on US state visit

  • Virginia Giuffre's family has renewed calls for King Charles to meet with them and other Jeffrey Epstein survivors during his upcoming state visit to the US, seeking to show unity and highlight systemic failures.
  • Sky Roberts, Ms Giuffre’s brother, stated they would be lobbying near the King's locations and requested a 10-minute meeting to show him they are "real people, with real feelings."
  • A recent BBC investigation revealed Epstein continued to house women in London flats for years after the Metropolitan Police failed to investigate Ms Giuffre’s 2015 allegations.
  • Ms Giuffre's family and another survivor are advocating for a public inquiry into allegations made by women in the UK against the paedophile financier.
  • They strongly oppose any suggestion of clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence, while royal sources indicate the King cannot meet survivors due to ongoing UK police investigations and constitutional reasons.
