Radio station behind 'deplorable' hoax says it has not broken any laws
It comes after Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at the King Edward VII Hospital who was duped by the call from the Australian radio station, 2Day FM, was found dead on Friday in a suspected suicide.
Mrs Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, was found unconscious near the hospital, where the Duchess spent three nights earlier this week being treated for severe pregnancy sickness.
The Australian media regulator said it has been inundated with complaints about the radio station's stunt.
At a press conference on Saturday morning, however, Rhys Holleran, chief executive of 2Day FM's parent company Southern Cross Austereo, stood by the two DJs who called the hospital pretending to be the Queen and the Prince of Wales, insisting that he was confident the station had not broken any laws.
