Camilla has reportedly been approached by victims’ rights groups and onsiders claim negotiations are understood to be in the ‘very early stages’
The Queen could secretly meet some of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims during her state visit to America, its claimed. Camilla has reportedly been approached by victims’ rights groups as she has been a life-long advocate for abused women.
King Charles and Camilla will arrive in the US for a four-day tour to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence on April 27.
Insiders claim negotiations are understood to be in the “very early stages”.
A source said: “It’s quite possible the Queen would chose to meet with the victims in private. The victims have made no secret of their desire to meet with her.
“Any negotiations would be top secret and in the very early stages but it would be a fantastic gesture of support on her part.”
Ex-model Lisa Phillips, an Epstein victim, said she was “hopeful” of meeting the Queen. She said: “She’s always been supportive of the survivors and she’s taken a stand for us so she would be the more likely person to meet with us. So we are hopeful that maybe she will.
“If I met her I would make sure she understands how important it is for survivors to get some sort of justice. We need transparency. “Someone of her magnitude can make sure this moves on quicker.”
The Queen has been a longstanding campaigner against domestic abuse and violence against women and girls, including talking about her own experience of an assault.
Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who represents several Epstein survivors, said: “Queen Camilla has consistently positioned herself as an advocate for women affected by abuse, and this is exactly the kind of moment where that commitment should translate into action.
“A meeting with Epstein’s survivors would send a powerful message that their voices matter – not just in courtrooms, but in the corridors of power.”
Files released by the US Department of Justice earlier this year exposed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s links to Epstein. Last October the King stripped his younger brother of his remaining titles.
In a statement at the time the King and Queen said they sympathised with “the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse”. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing.
