Aussie DJ Bragged About Royal Prank … BEFORE Nurse Suicide

EXCLUSIVE

The Australian DJ who pretended to be Queen Elizabeth II in a prank phone call … BRAGGED about her accomplishment on Facebook … right before the nurse who answered the call committed suicide.

TMZ obtained a screen-shot of Mel Greig‘s Fbook page taken Friday evening in Australia … a.k.a. BEFORE news broke that Jacintha Saldanha — the nurse duped by Greig and her co-host — had been found dead in London.

The post reads … “Why is it that I can impersonate the queen to get private royal information but no one believes I’m the queen for a free champagne whilst out?”

Greig attached a pic to the post — of herself and another chick, smiling and hanging out at a bar.

We reached out to Mel’s rep for comment … who said (again), “No one could have ever predicted the tragic sequence of events that followed the prank call.”

As TMZ previously reported …Greig and her co-host Michael Christian shut down their Facebook and Twitter pages immediately after the nurse’s death — and suspended their gig at the station.
