"Australian DJ Mel Greig has given a tearful interview about the royal prank phone call row. Greig told Sunday Night that she had urged the pre-recorded telephone call to not go out on air in December 2012.      Along with 2DayFM co-host Michael Christian, the pair impersonated the Queen and Prince Charles when calling the King Edward VII Hospital in London, asking where a pregnant Kate Middleton was being treated for acute morning sickness. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who transferred the original call that led to details of the Duchess&amp;#039;s condition being revealed, committed suicide shortly after the stunt aired. Greig explained that she had asked senior managers to alter the recording to feature 2DayFM staff instead of the nurses. &amp;quot;I feel like a failure as a human being,&amp;quot; Greig said. &amp;quot;I am ashamed of myself. I should have tried harder to not let that prank call air.&amp;quot;  She also spoke of how she had lost her career and how she and her family have been attacked on several occasions. She said: &amp;quot;They targeted my family. They were innocent victims. &amp;quot;They would call my mum and say &amp;#039;an eye for an eye - she died... and now you have to die&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Greig has remained off-air since the incident, while Christian returned to work two months later. In September, Australia&amp;#039;s media watchdog stated that 2Day FM acted illegally by airing the phone call without consent. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
