(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Britain's Prince William arrived at the London hospital treating his pregnant wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, for severe morning sickness on Wednesday (December 5). The King Edward VII hospital earlier admitted it had fallen for a prank call from an Australian radio station, relaying personal details about her condition. The Duchess of Cambridge, often known as Kate, was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in central London on Monday (December 3) suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, very acute morning sickness which causes severe nausea and vomiting. However, two presenters from the Australian 2Day radio station telephoned the hospital pretending to be William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth and his father, the heir-to-the throne Prince Charles. Despite putting on unconvincing impressions of the royal duo, they were put through to the ward where Kate is being treated and given intimate details about how she was faring. The hospital confirmed the hoax call had been made and said it deeply regretted the incident. It added that there was no way such a call would have been put through to a patient.
