Ok, so I just listened to the recording and it seems actually quite harmless. I have to be careful what I say here so people don't get upset, but the actual prank did seem as if the DJs were not being malicious in any way and were just doing a very simple and very mild prank, which turned out to be actually funny (while they were doing the prank, NOT afterwards) because their accents were so terrible!
It's a real shame that it went pear-shaped after that and a life was lost.
The woman that committed suicide was only on the phone for 3 seconds to answer the phone, then patched it through. It was the following woman that told of Kate's condition. However, she still didn't give out any information that wasn't already known.
As far as I can see, no real harm done. A simple mistake by the nurse(s) that were probably having a busy day dealing with loads of people and reporters and unfortunately got fooled by some DJs that probably didn't even think they would get through to the nurse(s) in the first place.
If we're talking pranks, look at what the Chaser team did when they infiltrated the APEC with a false motorcade.
Anyway, listen to the recording of the DJs and you decide: http://americanlivewire.com/kate-middleton-prank-call/
