  • King Charles and Queen Camilla will not meet survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during their upcoming US state visit.
  • This decision is due to legal implications arising from ongoing UK police investigations related to Epstein and the King's constitutional position.
  • The four-day visit, from April 27 to 30, marks the King's first visit to the US as monarch and coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence.
  • The trip aims to strengthen the UK-US relationship, despite recent tensions, and will see Charles address both houses of Congress.
  • Queen Camilla will engage with organisations supporting survivors of domestic abuse, and the royal couple will also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
