Radio pranksters get through to nurses on Kate’s ward

The London hospital treating Kate Middleton for severe morning sickness admitted it had fallen for a prank call from an Australian radio station, relaying personal details about her condition.

Kate, married to Britain’s Prince William, was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London on Monday with hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes severe nausea and vomiting.

News of her pregnancy and her hospitalisation has generated a worldwide media frenzy with journalists excitedly reporting any update on her condition along with the facial expressions of William when he arrives and departs.
