The Australian radio station which made a prank call to a London hospital treating the Duchess of Cambridge could have its licence taken away.

It's after the High Court upheld a watchdog's ruling that 2Day FM broke the law by airing it.

One of the nurses who was tricked at King Edward 7th Hospital later took her own life.

The presenters who rang the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was staying were said to be "shattered" by the death of Jacintha Saldanha.

She answered the phone when they pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip enquiring about Kate Middleton.
