they said they didnt think anyone would take them seriously- but if the nurse did seem to beleive them ,shouldnt they have been like " sorry we were justjoking, or hang up." that was awful. Also, from my understanding it was pre recorded-why the hell would you air something with someone's medical condition being disclosed? their was thought put into this, and they had to have know this would be bad, even if they didn't foresee a suicide

Pre-recorded?! That's even worse. I didn't know about that. They could've just ended the segment when someone started believing then cutting it off right away.

I'm pretty sure the nurse got flustered when she heard it was the "queen". Part of the royal family was already in the building, so she might've been quite stars truck already.

Ugh I despise everything about this issue.

Oh I didn't know there were other royal family members there. Honesty since it was pre recorded, I put most of the blame on the djs and the station. They should've called the hospital and apologized and never aired the recording. No one would have known it happened then.

I'm an Aussie and I have heard about this on the radio for the last few days a LOT - and the station was super proud of it. They replayed the clip multiple times and all the other shows on the station were talking about 'our very own world famous radio hosts! making news headlines internationally woohoo!'. It made me so angry at the time, the stations here do phone pranks ALL the time and I hate them. Now I'm just furious and so, so sad for the poor woman and her family :(
This is all just so awful :(
