Prince William wrote a handwritten note of condolences to the family of the nurse who committed suicide that worked at the hospital that William’s wife was being treated at in 2012. The nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, had transferred a call that came into the hospital from a radio DJ claiming to be the Queen. The transferred call resulted in information being shared regarding the Duchess of Cambridge’s medical condition. The nurse committed suicide three days later, which is attributed to the guilt she felt over the incident. Her family recently spoke publically about the events and their grief, and revealed the letter’s existence.
