They will even be company of honour at a White House banquet, and Charles has been invited to tackle a joint assembly of the US Congress.
“We need the King of England to stand up and show his unity with survivors,” Sky Roberts, talking to BBC Newsnight on Friday night, mentioned.
“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.”
On Friday, a BBC investigation revealed Epstein continued to home ladies in London flats for years after the Metropolitan Police determined not to examine Ms Giuffre’s unique allegation in 2015 – when she advised the pressure she had been trafficked to the UK by Epstein within the early 2000s.
“This has been systematic failure from not only the FBI, but the Metropolitan Police there in the UK,” Mr Roberts mentioned.

Mr and Mrs Roberts additionally vowed to be a part of Lisa Phillips – one other Epstein survivor – in her name for a public inquiry into allegations made by ladies within the UK in opposition to the paedophile financier.
“We would 100% call for an inquiry,” Amanda Roberts mentioned.

Asked if a pardon for Maxwell in alternate for proof is one thing they may help, Ms Roberts replied: “Never. Never.
“Even the idea of pardon and blame Maxwell in the same sentence makes my stomach completely sick – and the idea that this would be floated around as something plausible.”
US congressman Ro Khanna has additionally made repeated requires Charles and Camilla to meet with Epstein survivors.
But royal sources have beforehand mentioned the authorized implications of Charles and Camilla coming into contact with any of Epstein’s survivors, and the King’s constitutional place, would make a gathering unimaginable whereas there are ongoing UK police investigations into issues associated to Epstein.
