Representative Ro Khanna is leveraging King Charles’s upcoming U.S. tour to demand a reckoning over the Epstein network’s transatlantic influence.
In a formal letter to King Charles III, U.S. Representative Ro Khanna has called for a private meeting between the Sovereign and the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. The Californian Democrat argues that such an encounter is necessary to address the “broader questions” of how Epstein maintained high-level protection across the globe. The request comes as King Charles prepares to visit Washington the week of April 27, 2026, a trip that may include a historic speech to Congress.
The impetus for this request is the recent unveiling of three million pages of Justice Department documents, which include incriminating photos of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The King’s brother remains a person of interest in Washington, though he is currently under investigation in the UK for alleged misconduct in public office. Khanna noted that survivors themselves are seeking this meeting to highlight how institutions on both sides of the Atlantic failed to intervene against Epstein’s predatory operations.
A Watershed Moment for the Monarchy
King Charles has previously expressed sympathy for victims of abuse, but Khanna’s letter pushes for a more active form of engagement. The Congressman pointed out that Ghislaine Maxwell’s UK connections served as a critical bridge for Epstein’s activities, implicating British social and political spheres. This focus on institutional failure places the King in a difficult position as he attempts to strengthen the “Special Relationship” with President Donald Trump’s administration.
“Leaders in the U.S. and around the world must hold Epstein’s powerful network accountable. Hearing the survivors’ stories and concerns is an important step.”
While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has denied any wrongdoing and settled a prior civil suit without admitting liability, his recent arrest has reignited the scandal. The King’s upcoming visit, ostensibly to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, now risks being overshadowed by demands for a full accounting of the Royal Family’s historical proximity to the Epstein circle.
