The family of Virginia Giuffre has made a desperate plea for King Charles to meet them during his US tour. Sky Roberts, Ms Giuffre's brother, said the monarch would "show unity with survivors" if he were to see them, and survivors of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein . Charles and Queen Camilla are due to arrive in the US on Monday for a four-day visit during which they will meet President Donald Trump . And Mr Roberts and his family see this as an ideal opportunity for Charles to spend just 10 minutes with them for the relations "to show him that we're real people, with real feelings". Speaking on Newsnight on Friday, Mr Roberts added: "We need the King of England to stand up and show his unity with survivors. 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." Charles and the Queen will also be guests of honour at a White House banquet, and Charles has been invited to address a joint meeting of the US Congress. On Friday, a BBC investigation revealed Epstein continued to house women in London flats for years after the Metropolitan Police decided not to investigate Ms Giuffre's original allegation in 2015 - when she told the force she had been trafficked to the UK by Epstein in the early 2000s. Mr Roberts said on Newsnight: "This has been systematic failure from not only the FBI, but the Metropolitan Police there in the UK. I mean if they would have listened to Virginia and took her claim seriously the first time, it could have avoided so many other years of abuse that had occurred right under the noses of these officers." Mr and Mrs Roberts also vowed to join Lisa Phillips - another Epstein survivor - in her call for a public inquiry into allegations made by women in the UK against the paedophile financier. Amanda Roberts, Ms Giuffre's sister-in-law, said: "We would 100% call for an inquiry. "Clearly, there is more things to be investigated and there's more evidence sitting there, especially if it was just discovered that, you know, he (Epstein) had been having flats years after the first reports came forward." Earlier this week, controversy erupted in Congress following reports that some Republican members of an influential committee investigating Epstein were open to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, being granted clemency in return for her giving evidence before them.
