Mel & MC Not attending the inquest

The British inquest into the death of nurse, Jacintha Saldanha following the now infamous prank call from SCA's then Hot 30 hosts Mel Greig and Michael Christian, is set to begin.

The Westminster Council advised that neither Mel nor Michael will  be attending the inquest in person or via video link.

Southern Cross Austereo in 2013 secured the right to be represented at the inquest and has submitted evidence. The inquest is expected to have around 9 witnesses at the   Royal Courts of Justice in London but none will be identified ahead of its sitting.

Westminster Coroner Fiona Wilcox will preside over the inquest which will likely be conducted without a jury.

The prank call reached Kate Middleton’s nurse, with Mel pretending to be the Queen and MC as Prince Charles.

The inquest also begins as Kensington Palace announced that Kate and Will are expecting another heir.

Kate is again suffering with severe morning sickness. Her morning sickness resulted being in hospital at the time of the prank call in 2012.
