Royal baby hoax call leaves Duchess's hospital unamused | UK news | The Guardian
Quote:
The royal family's favoured hospital has apologised after its staff were fooled by an implausible impersonation of the Queen into divulging intimate details of the Duchess of Cambridge's medical condition to hoax callers from an Australian radio station.
The King Edward VII private hospital in Marylebone, central London, where the duchess is being treated for acute morning sickness, said it "deeply regrets" what it described as "a foolish prank call that we all deplore".
Two DJs from Sydney's 2Day FM Summer 30 show Googled the hospital's number and rang in the early hours of Tuesday morning, posing as the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
