What is your opinion on Jacitha, the nurse in London UK. I know it all happened over a decade ago but her story still comes to mind whenever the royals are discussed. She was the nurse who picked up that prank call from the Australian radio presenters pretending to be the Royal Family while the Duchess of Cambridge was in hospital. What they thought was a joke ended up leaving her humiliated when all she had done was carry out her responsibilities!
I always feel her story is one of the saddest parts connected with the Royal Family in recent times. Jacitha later took her own life. She struck me as someone kind and professional who never should have been put through that ordeal. I t makes you think about the real people who end up caught in the middle of royal stories.

Absolutely tragic. This is actually still being litigated in Australia. One of the presenters is currently in the federal court:

I feel she had more problems in her life than that one phone call. yes, she should lose her job, but not her life.
Australia has as long as I can remember had some of the shittiest radio hosts in the world.
Terrible. There should have been a protocol in place in case of calls.
I hope she’s at peace. I don’t know why she did the prank, but it wasn’t worth her life. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers. She probably had other things going on too.
