On Tuesday, an Australian radio show managed to get through to the nurses station at King Edward VII Hospital where Kate is dealing with her extreme morning sickness. The hosts, Mel & Michael, pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles and appear to get confidential patient information about the Duchess. The call is going viral, and now apologies are flying around like William and Kate merchandise.
The Australian radio station has issued an official statement on the prank, including an apology from the two hosts – Mel Grieg and Michael Christian:
“We were very surprised that our call was put through, we thought we’d be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents.“We’re very sorry if we’ve caused any issues and we’re glad to hear that Kate is doing well.”
The BBC is reporting that hospital executives have stated that it “deeply regrets” the incident and they are reviewing “telephone protocols.”
