Queen Camilla tipped to make 'fantastic gesture of support' to Jeffrey Epstein victims during US tour with King Charles
The queen is heading to the US later this month for a state visitQueen Camilla could meet with victims of Jeffrey Epstein during her upcoming tour to the US, according to reports.
Later this month, King Charles and Queen Camilla will travel to the United States to meet with President Donald Trump for a state visit. The visit will mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence this year.
Ahead of the trip, Camilla has reportedly been approached by victims’ rights groups. The queen has dedicated a lot of her royal work to supporting victims of rape and sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Now, reports suggest she could meet with victims of late convicted sex offender Epstein on the upcoming trip.
Queen Camilla ‘could meet with Epstein victims’ during US tour
A source has told the Mail on Sunday: “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.”
It comes after former model Lisa Phillips, an Epstein victim, told Radio 4’s Today programme last week: “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.”

‘A meeting would send a powerful message’
Elsewhere, Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who represents several Epstein survivors, added to the Mail: “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.”
Royal Insider has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
The reports come as King Charles’ brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to face intense scrutiny over his past association with Epstein.
The victims have made no secret of their desire to meet with her.
Last October, King Charles initiated a formal process to have Andrew’s remaining royal titles and honours removed. It came as scrutiny was mounting over Andrew’s past friendship with the disgraced financier.
The decision was announced following the release of Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.
Ms Giuffre, who took her own life last April, repeated her allegations of sexual assault against Andrew in her book. She alleged she was made to have sex with Andrew on three separate occasions in the early 2000s when she was 17 after being trafficked by Epstein.
Andrew has always vehemently denied the allegations.
Andrew named in Epstein files
Scrutiny against Andrew then intensified even more in January following the US Department of Justice’s release of millions of Epstein files.
Within these files, images appeared to show Andrew kneeling on all fours over an unidentified woman lying on the ground. No context was supplied for the images.
Emails within the files also appeared to show Andrew allegedly sharing confidential and sensitive documents with Epstein during his time as UK’s trade envoy.
Then, on February 19, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Hours after his arrest, police released Andrew under investigation.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
