Virginia Giuffre's Brother Slams King Charles III for Snubbing Epstein Survivors During US Visit

Virginia Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, did not hold back in condemning King Charles III for failing to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse during the monarch’s visit to the United States this week. Roberts called the king’s absence “a missed opportunity” to show solidarity with survivors still fighting for justice and accountability from the powerful figures connected to Epstein’s trafficking network.

“Survivors are here sitting with members of Congress, still fighting to be heard, still pushing for real accountability, while many of the powerful figures connected to these systems remain just out of reach, unable to acknowledge survivors face to face,” Roberts said during a roundtable hosted by California Democratic Representative Ro Khanna. The event included survivors and advocates discussing the ongoing failures of institutions to protect victims and hold elites accountable ahead of King Charles’s address to Congress.

Khanna, who co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act, had personally urged King Charles in a letter last month to meet privately with survivors during his US visit. “Survivors want this meeting,” Khanna wrote, emphasizing the importance of the king hearing directly from those harmed by Epstein and his enablers.

However, a lawyer representing King Charles and Queen Camilla later responded that the king would not meet with survivors, citing “ongoing police inquiries” in the UK. The letter insisted the monarch “has consistently made clear his support for all victims of abuse,” but declined any direct engagement or comment on the investigations.

The controversy is not new to the British royal family. Epstein’s connection to King Charles’s younger brother, Prince Andrew, has long cast a shadow over the monarchy. Giuffre accused Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her after Epstein trafficked her. Andrew has denied the allegations but stepped back from royal duties in 2019 amid public outrage. He later settled a civil suit with Giuffre out of court without admitting wrongdoing.

Since Giuffre’s death by suicide in April 2025, new Department of Justice files have intensified scrutiny on Prince Andrew’s ties to Epstein. In February, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to allegations he shared confidential information with Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy. Andrew denies all charges and has not been formally charged.

King Charles issued a rare public statement following Andrew’s arrest, affirming that “the law must take its course” but refusing further comment. Giuffre’s family expressed cautious relief, stating their “broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.”

Roberts told Sky News that even a brief meeting with survivors could have sent a powerful message. “It means something to look into a survivor’s eyes and say: ‘I promise to give you a fair and thorough investigation... I, the King of England, stand with survivors,’” he said.

By sidestepping direct engagement with Epstein survivors, King Charles missed a vital chance to demonstrate leadership and commitment to justice at a moment when the world is watching the unraveling of one of the most notorious abuse scandals involving elite power and impunity. The silence speaks volumes about whose interests remain protected—and whose are still ignored.
