Kate Middleton is likely feeling very upset in the wake of a nurse suicide, experts said Saturday. The spokesman for the British Medical Association, a registered trade union for UK doctors, believes the death of King Edward VII nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, must be weighing on the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge. "Kate must feel terrible. Of course this is not her fault, but she is now being linked with a suicide in people’s minds," the Express quotes Dr. Tom Frewin as saying.
Kate Middleton was being treated at King Edward VII Hospital earlier this week when a pair of Aussie DJs prank called the hospital posing as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles seeking details about the Duchess' condition. “Medical staff should never disclose confidential information to anyone and people who answer the phone should have the correct training and not be put in this invidious position," Ferwin said suggesting HIPPA-like regulations be put into place in the UK. "The secretary of state should put together a set of measures to prevent this happening again; to any patient, not just a member of the Royal Family."
Kate Middleton spent three nights at King Edward VII Hospital in London where she was treated for acute morning sickness. Experts predict, due to the oddity of the circumstances, the Duchess of Cambridge will not hold onto long-term guilt or responsibility for the tragic outcome.

I did also notice they were focussing more on the female DJ than the male one, but that was probably because her father commented that she'd been devastated about the suicide and had gone into hiding so they couldn't contact her to how she was doing.
Anyway, how is this an article? Of course they're upset about it, it'd be worrying if they weren't.
We do. It's called Patient Confidentiality and it falls under Information Governance which falls under the Data Protection Act. Shut up and sit down.
You have to be retrained in it every two years (possibly more if you're ward staff idk).
The Daily Express has a reputation for consistently printing conspiracy theories about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales as front page news, earning it the nickname, the Daily Ex-Princess; this has been satirised

It was a mistake, period.
my mom says that if she were Kate, she'd go to the funeral. Idk, if I was her family I really wouldn't want anyone from the hospital or the royal family there tbh...
