Jordan and Gary Ablett Jr’s experience of parenthood is different again (p22). Their six-year-old son Levi has a degenerative condition, which has taught the whole family to slow down and appreciate the small moments in life. I think we could all take a leaf out of their book. Enjoy your week! Katherine Chatfield Editor…

They met at university in St Andrews, so Scotland has always held a special place in the hearts of the Prince and Princess of Wales and it is where they chose to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary last week. The couple, who are “as happy as anyone has ever seen them”, planned a romantic trip to the remote Isles of Mull and Iona to coincide with royal duties, with William, 42, whisking Kate, 43, away to an isolated cottage to spend much-needed alone time after a challenging 12 months that has seen the mother-of-three battle cancer.
