Edward said he had "deep, deep sympathy" for the duchess over her morning sickness.The MJ Morning Show show was broadcast throughout the 1990s on through the 2000s, until it aired what was believed to be its final broadcast on Friday February 17, 2012, as Todd Schnitt (MJ) wanted to be fully involved in his other show "The Schnitt Show". "It's the most perfect end to an amazing year," she said. Sophie told journalists she was "absolutely thrilled". Meanwhile, the Earl and Countess of Wessex became the first members of the royal family to comment on the duchess's pregnancy. On Wednesday William was again visiting his wife in the hospital, where she is receiving treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum. In 1995 a Canadian DJ pretending to be Canada's then prime minister, Jean Chretien, was put through to the Queen and spoke for around 15 minutes, during which he asked her to record a speech in support of Canadian unity before a referendum in Quebec. It is not the first time a member of the royal family has been the subject of a prank call. We wish Kate and her family all the best and we're glad to hear she's doing well." The radio segment was done with lighthearted intentions. A spokeswoman for the station said: "2Day FM sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused by the inquiries to Kate's hospital. The prank call was pre-recorded and vetted by lawyers before being broadcast to listeners in Sydney. We're very sorry if we've caused any issues and we're glad to hear that Kate is doing well."
We thought we'd be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents. They said: "We were very surprised that our call was put through. We take patient confidentiality extremely seriously and we are now reviewing our telephone protocols."Ī spokesman for the royal couple said they would not be making a comment. John Lofthouse, chief executive at the hospital, said: "This was a foolish prank call that we all deplore. King Edward VII's hospital deeply regrets this incident." This call was transferred through to a ward and a short conversation was held with one of the nursing staff. In a statement, the hospital said: "King Edward VII's hospital Sister Agnes can confirm that an Australian radio station made a hoax call to the hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning. I haven't spoken to him yet." Greig then said: "When are you going to walk those bloody corgis?" Christian replied: "Mummy, I'll go and take the dogs outside." I'll just feed my little corgis then." Pretend barking was heard in the background, with a pretend Charles shouting 'Mummy mummy!"Īt one point Christian asked: "Is Wills still there, or has he gone home. The presenter was given details about the duchess's condition, and then replied: "OK. I wanted to see how her little tummy bug is going."
The nurse replied: "Good morning ma'am, this is a nurse speaking. The hoax Queen said: "Kate my darling, are you there?" Hold on," and was then put through to the duty nurse. She was put through to a duty nurse who told Greig how the duchess was faring.ĭuring the two-minute call, Greig said to the hospital switchboard operator: "Oh hello there, could I please speak to Kate please, my granddaughter," and was told: "Oh yes.
The callers were put through to the nurse after Greig, co-presenting the Summer 30 weeknight show, rang to ask to speak to her "granddaughter Kate".
The hoax caller said at one point to the nurse: "When is a good time to come and visit her because I'm the Queen and I need a lift down there." The 2Day FM announcers Mel Greig and Michael Christian called in the early hours of Tuesday morning and managed to convince hospital staff despite putting on ridiculous comedy accents, complete with pretend corgis yapping in the background.
