The hospital got badly caught out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa5JQC8VNdw

"nobody gets as much as a mobile phone inside the room."

Overtaken by events, I think!

A not very determined or skilful effort by a couple of Aussie DJs manage to get a report from inside the sickroom.

One winders what the really vicious professionals of the British press would do id they weren't keeping a low profile at the moment.

To me, it was astonishing how low these two Aussies were prepared to go.

I really don't have too much time for the Royals, but on this occasion, I thought it was completely out of order to even attempt a con like that. You should never forget, Kate is a human being with feelings just like everyone else and in the circumstances, should expect to have her medical condition considered a private affair unless she chooses otherwise.

Social engineering, which is effectively what this trick was, has fooled a good deal more people than a duty nurse and on occasions, has cost a great deal of money to the companies concerned.

So let's not get carried away about how easily this poor woman was fooled. In her position, if you think the Queen is calling you, are you going to refuse?

Don't aim your criticism at the nurse, aim it at the low life's who perpetrated the con.

"I think they were as shocked as anyone that they got through so easily"

Don't be so sure, its been tried and tested before with success in high places, and no doubt it will in the future. After all, its down to human error or oversight, which all of us are capable of doing!.

I was in hospital recently, and had a number of telephone calls. Fortunately they were 'fielded' at the ward reception desk, and I was informed about them later.

With regards to the 'no mobiles', I wonder how many of the approved visitor's were frisked before they entered the room. Seeing how the Royal's conduct themselves nowadays, especially the two boys, then I would suspect it wouldn't bother them to much, but it might a 'jobsworth'. There's probably already photograph's been taken for the family album?.

But is it all that important in this time and age?.
