UK Envoy Urges Queen Camilla to Meet Jeffrey Epstein Victims During US Visit
Baroness Harriet Harman, the UK's special envoy for women and girls, has called on Queen Camilla to meet Jeffrey Epstein's victims during the royal couple's upcoming trip to the United States. Harman highlighted Camilla's prior support for abuse survivors in making the request. Officials have stated that no such meeting will occur due to ongoing investigations and legal considerations.
GB NewsThe visit is scheduled for the end of April and marks King Charles's first trip to the US as monarch. It coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence and will include nationwide celebrations.
Harman made the request during an appearance on LBC's Tonight With Andrew Marr program.

Harman referenced Queen Camilla's previous meeting with French rape survivor Gisele Pelicot at Clarence House. Camilla embraced Pelicot and later wrote to her following Pelicot's legal proceedings in France.
