The United Kingdom’s data watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), is currently assessing reports that a staff member at a London hospital attempted to access the private medical records of Catherine, Princess of Wales during her stay in January. The London Clinic, where the Princess of Wales underwent planned abdominal surgery and stayed for 13 nights, has initiated an investigation into the alleged breach of her confidentiality.
The ICO confirmed that it has received a breach report and is evaluating the information provided. The London Clinic has refrained from commenting on the matter but emphasized the importance of patient privacy and confidentiality.
