MY family have been reading The Northern Echo for a very long time. Obviously, we like your paper very much.

However, a recent edition made us feel very sad that you should has classed Prince Harry as a fool because he was prepared to have a bit of fun (Sharon Griffiths, Mar 9).

I cannot see why he should be spoken of like this.

However all the best to you and The Northern Echo.

Matt Gibson, Seaham.

• The comment was made by Sharon Griffiths who meant it in a lighthearted way. Sharon was, in fact, praising the young prince for letting his hair down.
