King Edward VII hospital has written a scathing letter to 2DayFM, the Australian radio station who prank called Kate Middleton's nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who was later found dead of an apparent suicide on December 7.

In the letter, hospital chairman Lord Glenarthur states, "I am writing to protest in the strongest possible terms about the hoax call made from your radio station. It was extremely foolish of your presenters even to consider trying to lie their way through to one of our patients ... That the call had been pre-recorded and the decision to transmit approved by your station's management was truly appalling."

"The immediate consequence of these premeditated and ill-considered actions was the humiliation of two dedicated and caring nurses who were simply doing their job tending to their patients," Glenarthur continues. "The longer term consequence has been reported around the world and is, frankly, tragic beyond words. I appreciate that you cannot undo the damage which has been done but I would urge you to take steps to ensure that such an incident could never be repeated."

On December 4, 2DayFM DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian called the hospital pretending to be Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth, and Saldanha, who had been caring for Middleton during her stay, fell for the prank. Saldanha then passed them on to another nurse, who gave away confidential details about the pregnant Duchess. Just three days later, Saldanha was found dead, and authorities suspect that she took her own life.

2DayFM owner Rhys Holleran spoke out about the incident and said that the DJs involved were "completely shattered" over Saldanha's death. "These people aren't machines, they're human beings," he said. "What happened is incredibly tragic, and we're deeply saddened and incredibly affected by that ... No one could have reasonably foreseen what ended up being an incredibly tragic day."

After the news broke that Saldanha had died, the royal family released the following statement: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jacintha Saldanha," Kate and Prince William,, both 30, said in an earlier statement. "Their Royal Highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha's family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time."

We bet these radio DJ's feel a little bit responsible!

The nurse that spilled the beans on Kate Middleton's condition when an Australian radio station prank called the King Edward VII hospital has been found dead of a suspected suicide, TMZ reports.

Jacintha Saldanha was found dead this morning at an address near the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness. Paramedics arrived at the scene but were unable to revive her.

Saldanha mistakenly believed the Queen of England was calling to check on her grandson's wife's health and breached confidentiality when she transferred the call through to the attending nurse on Kate's floor, who revealed the expectant royal had an "uneventful night" and was about to "get freshened up."

"Jacintha has worked at the King Edward VII Hospital for more than four years. She was an excellent nurse and well respected and popular with all of her colleagues. We can confirm that Jacintha was recently the victim of a hoax call to the hospital. The hospital had been supporting her throughout this difficult time," the hospital said in a statement.

The radio station issued an apology hours after they successfully pulled off the prank, saying,"We were very surprised that our call was put through. We thought we'd be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents. We're very sorry if we've caused any issues and we're glad to hear that Kate is doing well."

Saldanha leaves behind a husband and two young children.

The palace has yet to comment on the sad news.

How tragic!

Kate Middleton has chosen Petit Tresor in Beverly Hills to outfit the nursery for her baby with Prince William.

A source from the luxury baby boutique tells X17online exclusively that the Duchess of Cambridge personally called the store from her hospital bed in London.

We've been told Kate wants the baby's room to have a "European and traditional look" and that she "absolutely loves the Notte Fatata collection."

Employees from the boutique will be flown out to London to decorate the room with items from the Notte Fatata collection, which is sold exclusively through Petit Tresor.

Kate apparently has her eyes on the Notte Fatata crib which sells for $8,340.00. The store's website describes it as:

What is extraordinary about the Notte Fatata line is that it is made with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship as all the pieces that have been manufactured since 1941. This family run three-generation business uses all of the ancient furniture making techniques that were used for centuries - making antique quality pieces for the lords and queens of the world.

The princess sure has a lot of people rushing to be at her bedside!

Pippa Middleton and brother James arrived at the King Edward VII hospital in London today to visit their pregnant sister Kate, and it looks like the whole clan is ready to welcome another member into the family!

The Palace just announced there is a royal baby on the way this past Monday, and immediately following the happy news, William's wife was hospitalized for extreme morning sickness.

Already, tabloids are going wild trying to uncover any details surrounding the unborn future heir of the throne! According to Life & Style, the couple conceived at the end of the royal tour in September, which puts Kate seven to eight weeks along. That would put the baby's due date in July!

Let the bump watch begin!

What a doting dad-to-be!

Prince William might be the future King of England, but his main priority for the next nine months will be tending to his pregnant wife Kate Middleton! After the couple announced this morning on their official website they were expecting their first child together, the Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to Central London hospital after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is an extreme form of morning sickness.

The condition, although not serious, often lands expecting mothers in the hospital, as it frequently requires supplementary hydration and nutrients. Symptoms of HG include severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, dehydration, lightheadedness and fainting. Poor Kate! That sounds miserable!

Even if she's under the weather, we're sure she's over the moon a royal baby is finally on the way!

It's official! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby.

Prince William and Kate Middleton confirmed the news via their personal website. The following statement was just released:

"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news. The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with Hyperemesis Gravidarum."

Kate is currently in the hospital experiencing morning sickness.

These two are literally glowing!

Prince William and Kate Middleton paid a visit to Cambridge today for the opening of a new hospital, and the royal couple were greeted by thousands of fans and well wishers! The Duchess chose to wear a pale pink MaxMara Belli overcoat, and although the weather was chilly, was there another reason she was all covered up?

According to reports, Wills and Kate are expecting their first child, and are set to make an announcement sometime in December.

So what kind of parents will these two be?

"William is much like Diana and will definitely be a hands-on dad and not rely heavily on nannies to raise his and Catherine's children. They both try to be as normal as possible in their private lives, and that of course is going to continue when they have children," a source tells Life & Style.

We hope the rumors are true!
