No charges for royal hoax DJs
Two Australian DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Charles, as they phoned London’s King Edward VII hospital in December to ask about the condition of Kate Middleton, the duchess of Cambridge, wife of Charles’ son William. Kate had been hospitalised for treatment of acute morning sickness.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who put the call through to a colleague who in turn described the details of Kate’s condition, was found dead in her room three days after the prank was broadcast across the world.
