King Charles III<\/strong><\/a> avoided any mention of the late Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong> amid his brother former Prince Andrew<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s ongoing scandal and former relationship with the disgraced billionaire.<\/p>\n

Charles, 77, appeared before Congress on Tuesday, April 28, becoming just the second member of the British royal family to address U.S. senators and representatives.<\/p>\n

During his remarks, Charles declined to discuss Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking. Prior to Charles\u2019 speech, Representative Ro Khanna<\/strong> claimed that the monarch was going to address Epstein\u2019s many victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met with the British ambassador\u2014 the British ambassador has suggested that the king will acknowledge the Epstein survivors in his address to Congress today,\u201d Khanna said on Tuesday, per Politico<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI hope his flunkies don\u2019t take out the acknowledgment from his text and I fully expect the king to be acknowledging the survivors \u2014 the Epstein survivors \u2014 in his speech to our nation and Congress this afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKing Charles III was heckled over his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor\u2019s association to the late Jeffrey Epstein during a Thursday, February 5, walkabout. Charles, 77, and his wife, Queen Camilla, visited the Essex village of Dedham on Thursday, where an unidentified man attempted to get the king\u2019s attention. \u201cCharles, Charles, have you pressurized the police [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Khanna had been calling Charles to meet with Epstein\u2019s victims during his visit to the U.S., which the King allegedly declined.<\/p>\n

Instead, the monarch addressed everything from the growing threat of climate change to the recent shooting<\/a> at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner that left a Secret Service agent injured. (Authorities captured the 31-year-old suspected shooter<\/a>, who is now charged with \u201cone count of attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence,\u201d per the Justice Department. The alleged shooter has not yet entered a plea.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe meet too in the aftermath of the incident not far from this great building that sought to harm the leadership of your nation and to ferment wider fear and discord,\u201d Charles said. \u201cLet me say with unshakable resolve that such acts of violence will never succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

While concluding his speech, Charles noted that \u201cAmerica\u2019s words carry weight and meaning as they have since independence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKing Charles cannot escape the continued media attention on his brother Prince Andrew\u2019s longstanding friendship with the late convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. \u201cHow long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?\u201d an individual shouted at Charles, 76, as the royal greeted the public outside Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire on Monday, October 27, per footage shared [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well \u2026 that \u2018the world may little note what we say but will never forget what we do.\u2019 And so to the United States of America on your 250th birthday let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other,\u201d he said. \u201cGod bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles\u2019 visit comes months after brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor voluntarily gave up his royal title after making headlines for his past connection to Epstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,\u201d Andrew told Us Weekly in an October 2025 statement. \u201cI have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWith His Majesty\u2019s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honors which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKing Charles III did not cross paths with brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor during a recent trip to Sandringham Estate. Charles, 77, was photographed at Sandringham in Norfolk, England, on Saturday, February 28, and Sunday, March 1. Even though Andrew, 66, currently resides at Sandringham, Us Weekly understands that Charles did not see his brother \u2014 and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Andrew was accused of sexual assault in 2019 by Virginia Giuffre<\/strong>, who died in 2025, after they were allegedly set up by one of Epstein\u2019s associates. Andrew denied the allegations at the time before settling with Giuffre out of court. The accusations later resurfaced in Giuffre\u2019s posthumous memoir published last year.<\/p>\n
