The UK data watchdog says a healthcare professional at the private hospital where Kate, the Princess of Wales, had surgery in 2024 had tried to sell "highly sensitive personal information," believed to be her medical records.
The Information Commissioner's Office launched an investigation in March 2024 into whether staff had attempted to access medical records at the London Clinic where Kate, the wife of heir to the throne Prince William, underwent abdominal surgery two months earlier.
In a statement on Wednesday, the ICO said it had concluded that criminal investigation and found that a now former healthcare worker had deliberately misused sensitive information with an offer to disclose it for financial gain.
