King Charles has been slammed as cowardly for many things over the years – most recently for failing to evict his disgraced younger brother, ex-Prince Andrew, from Royal Lodge for several years before finally doing so, and seemingly allowing him to walk all over him.
And now he’s facing backlash once again, this time for reportedly refusing to meet the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre – one of the former Duke of York‘s most high-profile accusers – when he visits the U.S. this month. Keep reading for more details…

Virginia Giuffre's Brother Asks For A Meeting With King Charles In The US
According to reports, King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to travel to the U.S. for a four-day visit starting on April 27th to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence, and to further strengthen the U.K.'s relationship with the U.S.
While they are expected to meet Donald Trump and Melania Trump, they reportedly have no plans to meet with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They also will not be meeting with Sky Roberts, the brother of Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts) who died by suicide on April 25th, 2025, at the age of 41.
Giuffre accused the disgraced royal of sexually abusing her when she was 17 years old after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Although Andrew settled a civil lawsuit with her in 2022, he did not admit to any wrongdoing.
Now, her brother is urging the King to meet with him and other survivors of sexual abuse during his visit to the U.S., but the request has reportedly been declined. According to reports, Roberts says he plans to advocate for 'Virginia's Law,' named after his sister, which would eliminate statutes of limitations for civil sex trafficking and child sexual abuse cases, allowing survivors more time to seek justice.
The Palace Responds To Virginia Giuffre's Brother's Request To Meet With King Charles
Buckingham Palace issued a statement explaining why the King would not be able to attend such a meeting during the state visit…
"We fully understand and appreciate the survivors' and their advocates' position, but can only reiterate that anything arising from such a meeting that could potentially impact ongoing police inquiries or legal processes would risk undermining the pursuit of justice for survivors," the statement read, per USA Today.
Roberts pushed back on that reasoning, saying: "This isn't about the King coming here and celebrating with Trump. This should be about coming here and taking a stand – to set an example for other world leaders and show support for survivors."
"I'm not asking them to fly me over there and meet in the palace. The King will be minutes away from my family," he continued. "I just want 10 minutes with him so he can do the right thing. King Charles has the opportunity to stand with survivors and help create change for the next generation."
Social Media Comments
"All the men in power are [expletive] so don't expect much. None have integrity," slammed one Reddit user. "King Charles is too big of a coward," concurred a second.
"King Charles the Cowardly should be his new title," quipped a third, as a fourth added: "The royal family was compromised hundreds of years ago by the Rothschilds. They do not care."
"Unfortunately he won't care about any of the victims!" exclaimed one Facebook user on a USA Today post. "Sorry but King Charles is a MFGD Coward. He won't see you cause he doesn't want to be reminded that his bro is a rapist," thought a second.
A third slammed: "He's a disgrace in my eyes and always has been. Collectively he and the Queen covered this up to the tune of $7M I believe. There's plenty of guilt to go around other than in our own country." "I want Charles to testify. We know the entire royal family kept this secret," added a fourth.
Defense For King Charles: 'He Is Not Responsible For His Brother's Behavior'
Others appeared to defend the King, with one person writing on the same post: "Ok I get the frustration but the King is not his brother's keeper. He is not protecting him, and the focus needs to be on Randy Andy."
"It wasn't Charles. Move on," demanded a second, as a third thought: "He is not responsible for what happened." "King Charles has nothing to do with it. Be different if he didn't remove him, but he did," a fourth chimed in.
A fifth demanded: "Leave the King alone. He is not responsible for his brother's behavior and he did what he could to remove him from royal circles." "It's not his game... place blame only where it belongs," added a sixth.
