Hospital leaks Princess Kate details in Aussie prank
The hospital treating Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine admitted Wednesday it released her private medical details after falling for a hoax call from an Australian radio station.
Presenters from Sydney's 2Day FM station, posing as Queen Elizabeth II and William's father Prince Charles, got through to a nurse at private King Edward VII's Hospital in London, where Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness.
The hospital confirmed that a nurse discussed Kate's condition and said it "deeply regrets" the incident, which happened in the early hours of Tuesday, while the Australian radio station also apologised.
The hoax is deeply embarrassing for the hospital, which has also treated the queen, her husband Prince Philip and Charles' wife Camilla over the years. The queen is its patron.
"This was a foolish prank call that we all deplore," said the hospital's chief executive John Lofthouse.

Should this be simply taken as a joke or something more serious?

Well i said it a while ago the #$%$ smeely sand niger tried to kill herself 3 other times,just goes to show the family are dead beats,and dont deserve 1 cent,tipycle indians liers scammers hang the lot of them,piecies off dog #$%$ ,she got what she deserved,hope she went in pain.
ReplyThese 2 presenters did not put the rope around the nurse neck so there has to be somthing else for her to do this. So a simple phone call like this couldnot push anyone to hang
Replyto hell with the spoiled worthless british royalty and the dumb nurse who killed herself over a funny prank call. good for the ausies who made the call, it was harmless and hillarious! people need more good laughs like that especially at the expense of the wrongfully wealthy and pampered useless #$%$ of the world!
Replythis women commited suicide,she wasnt murdered,she chose her own destiny,if we all did what she did when times got hard we`d all be dead,she gets no sympathy from me,geez us aussies love listening to the gotcha calls that have been our radios and we suck it up and have a laugh..this story rates up there with boat people...dont care
Replyi am sick of hearing about this why cant we get passed it, we have no idea what was going on in her home life regardless of what has been reported so how do we know if she wasnt already suffering from depression or some other illness. ENOUGH ALREADY PEOPLE LET THE FAMILY GRIEVE AND GET ON WITH THERE LIVES AND LEAVE THE DJ'S ALONE
