Wow. There's a nurse at the King Edward VII hospital in London who's now having a very bad day.
Update: This really is embarrassing for the hospital and the nurse involved, because now that I've heard part of the tape, all I can say is "What was she thinking?" That Australian DJ doesn't sound even a little bit like the real queen. And someone was barking in the background, pretending to be a corgi? Hopefully this nurse has more medical expertise than her apparently minimal common sense and discretion.
Another thought: I was continuing to ponder how a nurse could possibly have mistaken an Australian DJ for the Queen of England when it occurred to me that mistaken identity isn't the real screw up. Even if the caller had been the actual Queen, it's still not OK to disclose confidential information about a patient over the phone to an extended family member without permission from the patient. How can a nurse with enough experience to care for a senior member of the royal family not know that?
