The relatives of Virginia Giuffre have issued an urgent appeal for King Charles to meet with them during his upcoming American visit, as today marks one year since the activist’s death.
Mr Roberts and his family view this as a prime chance for Charles to dedicate just 10 minutes to them, allowing the relatives “to show him that we’re real people, with real feelings.”
During a Friday appearance on Newsnight, Mr Roberts stated, “We need the King of England to stand up and show his unity with survivors. We will be 10 minutes from him. We will be lobbying that same day in the same buildings that he will be entering in and out of. And all we ask is for a 10-minute meeting with the King to show him that we’re real people, with real feelings.”
The King and Queen will also attend a White House banquet as honored guests, with Charles receiving an invitation to address a joint meeting of the US Congress, reports the Mirror.
Speaking on Newsnight, Mr Roberts stated, “This has been a systematic failure from not only the FBI, but the Metropolitan Police there in the UK. I mean if they would have listened to Virginia and took her claim seriously the first time, it could have avoided so many other years of abuse that had occurred right under the noses of these officers.”
The couple also pledged to support Lisa Phillips – another Epstein survivor – in demanding a public inquiry into accusations leveled by women in the UK against the pedophile financier. Amanda Roberts, Ms Giuffre’s sister-in-law, declared, “We would 100% call for an inquiry.
“Clearly, there are more things to be investigated, and there’s more evidence sitting there, especially if it was just discovered that, you know, he [Epstein] had been having flats years after the first reports came forward.”
Days earlier, controversy ignited on Capitol Hill after reports emerged suggesting certain Republican members of a prominent committee probing Epstein were considering offering Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, clemency in exchange for her testimony before the panel.
