Audio tapes reveal two obscure Australian radio DJs posing as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles and being transferred to Duchess Kate's private nurse at the hospital where she's being treated for morning sickness. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports. By Eun Kyung Kim, TODAY contributorTwo Australian radio DJs pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles called the London hospital where expectant Duchess Kate is being treated for severe morning sickness and were quickly connected to her private nurse, a move the hospital said Wednesday it “deeply regrets.”
The pranksters obtained revealing details about Kate’s condition from the nurse at King Edward VII hospital, where she has been treated for symptoms related to her early-stage pregnancy.
Mimicking the queen and Prince Charles, radio DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian of Australian station 2Day FM called the hospital asking for Kate, “my granddaughter.” The nurse informed them that she had stabilized and stopped “retching.”
