Mel Greig and Michael Christian prank call to pregnant Kate Middleton’s hospital

King Edward VII hospital, which is treating Kate Middleton, has released private details about her condition to two prank callers from Australian radio station 2Day FM.

The King Edward VII Hospital in central London has launched an investigation into the extraordinary stunt by Mel Greig and Michael Christian – and St James’s Palace is understood to be furious at what happened.

Mel Greig and Michael Christian pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles to obtain intimate medical information about pregnant Kate Middleton, who is suffering from acute morning sickness.
The transcript in full:

Receptionist: Hello, good morning, King Edward VII Hospital

Female presenter (Mel Greig, impersonating the Queen): Oh, hello there. Could I please speak to Kate please, my granddaughter?

Receptionist: Oh yes, just hold on ma’am

Male presenter (Michael Christian, impersonating Prince Charles): Are they putting us through?

Greig: Yes

Christian: If this has worked it is the easiest prank call we have ever made. Your accent sucked by the way, I just want you to know

[Both laughing]

Greig: I’m not used to playing old an 80-year-old

[Phone picked up]

Greig: Kate, my darling. Are you there?

Nurse: Good morning ma’am, this is the nurse speaking, how may I help you?

Greig: I’m just after my granddaughter Kate. I want to see how her little tummy bug is going?

Nurse: She’s sleeping at the moment and she has had an uneventful night. And sleep is good for her. She’s been given some fluids [part removed due to patient confidentiality]. She’s stable at the moment.

Greig: I’ll just feed my little corgis then. When is a good time to come and visit her, because I’m the Queen and I need a lift down there?

[In background: Mummy, mummy]

Charles! When can you take me to the hospital, Charles?

Christian: When will it be alright to come down and see her? Maybe in the morning or something if that’s OK?

Nurse: I would suggest that any time after nine o’clock would be suitable because the doctor will be in the morning and will just be getting her freshened up. I would think any time after nine.

Christian: Is Wills still there or has he gone home? I haven’t spoken to him yet.

Nurse: He went home probably at about nine o’clock last night, to be fair.

Christian: Lovely, but are they all ok? Everything is alright?

Nurse: [Removed due to confidentiality]

Christian: Of course, it’s hardly the palace is it?

Greig: It’s nothing like the palace, is it Charles? When are you going to walk those bloody corgis?

Christian: Mummy, I’ll go and take the dogs outside.

Greig: I need to go visit Kate in the morning. My dear, thank you so much!

Nurse: You are very welcome

Greig: Goodbye!

Nurse: Goodbye!

[Both presenters burst into laughter]

Greig: She was giving real information.

Christian: Mummy I think they just believed everything we just said.
