A survivor of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has expressed her desire to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla, calling such a meeting a "grand step" toward recognizing the dignity of victims.
In an interview with the BBC, Teresa Helm joined other survivors and lawmakers in urging the British royal family to sit down with those affected by Epstein's crimes. The King and Queen are scheduled to visit Washington DC from April 27 to 30.
However, a Buckingham Palace source confirmed that the royals will not meet with survivors during the state visit, citing concerns that it could interfere with ongoing legal proceedings. Despite this, Helm emphasized that a meeting would "demonstrate human dignity."
