Morrissey calls royal family "arrogant" after nurse's suicide

Rocker Morrissey has once again spoken out about his general dislike of the British royal family and has now slammed their "arrogance" following the recent news of the nurse who committed suicide after a radio hoax.

Jacintha Saldanha reportedly took her own life after 2 Australian radio DJs managed to get information from her about the wellbeing of Catherine Middleton, who at the time was hospitalised for a pregnancy condition, and Morrissey told New Zealand's 3News that none of the royals felt any responsibility for the situation:

"Even with the recent story about the nurse killing herself in King Edward Hospital, there's no blame placed on Kate Middleton (Catherine), who was in the hospital as far as I could see for absolutely no reason."

"She feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman. The arrogance of the British royals is staggering, absolutely staggering. And why it's allowed to be I really don't know."

Referring to Middleton's morning sickness problem, he added: "Does she have a health condition...? What is the health condition? I mean morning sickness already? So much hoo haw and then suddenly as bright as a button as soon as this poor woman dies she's out of hospital? It doesn't ring true."

"And I'm sure the Palace and Clarence House (Princess of Wales' residence) put maximum pressure on this poor receptionist and nurse, and of course that's kept away from the press. I'm sure the British press hounded this poor woman to her death, that's kept away. And by this time next week she'll be forgotten. And that's how the British royals work."
