Indeed. No pedestal = no hysteria = no hysteria = no suicide. I find it impossible to believe this nurse would have killed herself after having patched a prank call through to Dale Winton's nurse.

It should be dealt with privately.
That's a euphemism for hushed up, right?

Seriously, who gives a **** about them having a baby? They're not my family or yours so who gives a shit?

And the prank? Perhaps it wasn't an act of comedic genius, but the outrage and consternation of the British press was disgusting to see. It was a trivial little prank. The woman who committed suicide obviously had serious issues of her own that something as trivial as this could have sent her over the edge.

Can you imagine the orgy of grief the press will indulge in if she has a miscarriage? LOL. Craziness. It's 2012 for ****'s sake.

The Royal Family used to at least stand for some measure of decorum.

The lurid obsession with Kate's condition was unpleasant enough anyway, it is a true media frenzy now and as JR says, totally inappropriate.

I think the press would be ecstatic if she did have a miscarriage.

They'd be less ecstatic if it was proved the hospital or the lack of royal security was responsible for this mess. Then the story would just fly away like a little blackbird.

I found it offensive that a corporate organization would use its resources to mock ordinary working people.

Ordinary working people? Will and Kate? Or the nurses/receptionist? I don't think think the nature of the prank is to mock the little people. The goal is to get through and speak with a big cheese. Whether it's the president of Poland, or the Pope.

And let me just add that I wasn't LOL'ing at the thought of a miscarriage. I wouldn't wish illness or harm on anybody.
I was just shaking my head at the thought of them creaming themselves in case of a negative patient care outcome manifesting. It would be Diana 2.0.
