Radio DJs pretend to be queen, make prank call to Kate's hospital

Two Australian radio DJs made a prank call to the hospital where Prince William's pregnant wife, Catherine, is staying with acute morning sickness, claiming to be Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Prince Charles.

The DJs, from Sydney's 2Day FM station, succeeded in getting through to Kate's private nurse at King Edward VII Hospital and had a brief conversation that included some details of her condition, according to audio of the call posted online.

The hospital issued a statement Wednesday confirming that the hoax call had been transferred to a ward in the early hours of Tuesday morning and a short conversation was held with one of the nursing staff.

The hospital "deeply regrets" the incident, it said.

    I don't understand. How could they get through to a royal's private nurse by pretending to be Freddie Mercury and Brian May?

    This appears to be a simple case: Obstruction of medical services.
    Like getting in the way of an ambulance or an elaborate hoax where Kate is wheeled to the abortion clinic. Not funny. Criminal.
