Prince Andrew seeks to make amends after the sex abuse case settlement…
​

How easy is it to forgive someone who has wronged you? It probably depends on the person, the situation, and the severity of the offence. If someone has done something that has caused you a great deal of pain, it may be very difficult to forgive them. However, if you are able to see that the person is genuinely sorry for what they have done and is making an effort to change, it may be easier to forgive them. Ultimately, it is up to you whether or not you are able to forgive someone.

For Prince Andrew, it seems he is willing to make amends after settling a sex abuse case out of court. The Duke of York was accused of having sex with a 17-year-old girl, Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with him by his friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew has denied the allegations.

Fast forward, the Duke of York, 62, had already settled the sex abuse case with his accuser Virginia Giuffre in February, estimated to be worth $20 million.

Andrew has denied any wrongdoing, but he has been criticised for the allegations against him. The people even raised their eyebrows the moment the Prince appeared once again in public during Prince Philip's memorial on March 29.

​

However, the hatred towards Prince Andrew, due to his sexual assault allegations, didn't sound like so much of an issue anymore to The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

The Archbishop came into the defence of Prince Andrew and made the comments to ITV days out from Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Archbishop acknowledged that "there are very deep feelings indeed" when it comes to matters of abuse, which are "intensely personal and private," and that it wasn't acceptable to teach people how to respond to this.

However, he also added that, 'We have become a very unforgiving society. We all have to step back a bit, he is seeking to make amends, and I think that's a very good thing.'

​

He also backed the Queen's choice to allow her son to accompany her to her seat at Westminster Abbey in March for a memorial ceremony for Prince Philip.

He stated that the Queen was "fully entitled" to do so.

​

However, it's also worth noting that even if someone is genuinely sorry for what they've done, that doesn't mean they should be forgiven automatically. Forgiveness is a choice, and it's one that should be made thoughtfully and carefully.

Nevertheless, we hope that the Queen's decision to invite her son back into the fold will hopefully mean that Prince Andrew is taking responsibility for his actions and is working to make things right.

He's a rock spider the lowest form of sexual predator you can get, and he should be treated as such. I would never forgive any of my children for doing what he has done. He spent a lot of time travelling to countries as the ambassador for Great Britain, mainly in countries where women are third class citizens and used as play things for visiting dignitaries. So someone tell me if he was monitor constantly, I doubt it, his ex-wife might have done something to undermine the royal family, but please they only need to look at their own and see what inbreeding has done
