at times it would be a lonely

life and facing so much

criticism must be hard, but

I’m sure Harry tries his best

to help. I am fond of the royals

and find it very disappointing

to see all the negative

feedback at the moment.

I think Diana would be sad

about it all, but could have

perhaps dealt with it in a

good fashion.

Have your SAY

It was heartbreaking

indeed to read of Kiwi

couple Jennie and Craig

Gutry who are fighting

such serious health issues

(WD, Jun 24). It just doesn’t

seem fair that after Craig lost

his first wife to a brain tumour

and Jennie dealt with bowel

cancer, now the loving pair

have to face the tragedy of

Craig being diagnosed with

bowel cancer as well – which

in his case is terminal. Craig

and Jennie are brave and

unselfish in speaking up.

I certainly didn’t know that

“more people die from bowel

cancer than from prostate

and breast cancer combined”,

or that it is the most curable

form of cancer if picked up

early. Craig’s condition may

be “life limiting”, but it sounds

as though he will not be easily

defeated by it. Looking at his

extensivebucket list, he’s still
