Some Australian DJs played a prank call to the Hospital where Kate Midleton was, pretending to be the queen and the hospital receptionist thought it was real and gave out information on Kate to them

Marsh. 07-12-2012 02:08 PM

That is absolutely shocking. I can't believe it.

Omah 07-12-2012 02:08 PM

It seems a bit of an over-reaction ..... :conf:

Maybe she was going to be fired over it or something? I could imagine the hospital wanting to make an example of her when it involved such a high profile patient

If she committed suicide over the prank, then this.

People are going to blame the DJs for her death now which is stupid.

Yes its like a Murder

AnnieK 07-12-2012 02:19 PM

Could be the straw that broke the camels back.....she will have been in a serious amount of trouble I am sure from her bosses regarding this....she was probably facing losing her job, we don't know her personal circumstances etc....I agree, people will blame the DJs which is unfair - it was a crap prank and didn't even sound like the Queen so it sounds to me like she was pre-occupied....such a shame for her family and friends....heart goes out to them

Not really. They'll probably feel incredibly guilty though.
