An interview featuring the Archbishop of Canterbury due to be aired this evening sees him suggest that Prince Andrew should be forgiven for the sex abuse scandal he was embroiled in. He said the Duke was "seeking to make amends".
ITV News viewers will see Most Rev Justin Welby say "we all have to step back a bit" from the case. Virginia Guiffre made a claim against Andrew, 62, for damages, saying she was trafficked by paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Andrew when she was 17, a minor under US law.
Andrew denied the allegations, but later agreed an out of court settlement. Such a settlement is not an admission of guilt, reports the Mirror. The Duke has been excluded from the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
