William and Kate ‘deeply saddened’ at death of prank victim nurse

Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate have said they are “deeply saddened” at the death of a nurse who took a prank call at the London hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge for morning sickness.

Jacintha Saldanha, a mother of two, was found dead in a flat near the King Edward VII Hospital in London yesterday after reportedly taking her own life.

She had been the victim of two Australian radio DJs who impersonated Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales to obtain information on the duchess’s condition.
