Global News
A British tabloid alleges that at least one staff member at The London Clinic breached the Princess' medical records during her January stay.
British authorities announced Wednesday that they are investigating an alleged breach into Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s medical records at the London hospital where she underwent surgery in January.
The Information Commissioner’s Office, Britain’s privacy watchdog, told media outlets: “We can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.”
The news comes after U.K. tabloid newspaper The Mirror broke the news of the alleged breach on Tuesday, saying that at least one staff member at The London Clinic attempted to snoop into the Princess’s medical records during her January stay. This comes amid worldwide interest and rampant speculation regarding her health following what was announced as a planned abdominal surgery.
Kensington Palace, the office of the Prince and Princess of Wales, said the report was “a matter for the London Clinic,” according to The Associated Press.
Al Russell, the hospital’s chief executive, said Wednesday that “all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken.”
“There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues,” he said in a statement.
A source told The Mirror that “senior hospital bosses” alerted the palace of the security breach.
