Charles wanted to acknowledge ‘victims’ in speech to Congress including those abused by Epstein, palace says
King Charles expressed a desire to acknowledge victims of abuse, including those allegedly abused by Jeffrey Epstein, during his address to Congress, according to palace sources. While he referenced supporting victims of societal ills in general terms, he did not name specific cases or individuals. The statement comes amid past allegations involving his brother, Prince Andrew, who was accused of sexual assault by Epstein associate Virginia Giuffre. Prince Andrew has denied the claims and was stripped of his royal title in 2023.
