Staff at a hospital tried to look at Kate Middleton’s private medical records, it has been claimed.
The London Clinic is examining claims that workers tried to see the Princess of Wales’s medical notes. Someone working there tried to peek at Kate’s files while she was in the hospital in central London in January, reports The Mirror.
Kate went into the hospital for an operation on January 16. It has not been disclosed what was wrong with Kate, but Kensington Palace said it wasn’t cancer and she wants to keep her health details private.
A person from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said on Tuesday: “We can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.”

Kensington Palace said: “This is a matter for The London Clinic.”
The London Clinic told The Mirror: “We firmly believe that all our patients, no matter their status, deserve total privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information.”
After Kate’s surgery, she didn’t go to public events, which made people on the internet come up with wild conspiracy theories about where she was and how she was doing. But then, a video showed Kate shopping with the Prince of Wales near their home in Windsor.
Nelson Silva, 40, who filmed Kate shopping, told The Sun he believes the conspiracy theorists are “delusional”.
He said: “I’m not so much shocked that these comments have continued, I’m just confused how exactly they can continue. This is a video clearly showing her and William. I saw them with my own eyes. It was a completely relaxed situation.”

The royal couple also spent Sunday morning watching Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis taking part in a sporting event, according to The Sun.
The online speculation increased after irregularities were spotted in a Mother’s Day photograph of Kate and her children, which led to the princess admitting to “editing” the image and apologising for any “confusion” caused.
The future Queen has been photographed in public twice since her operation.
In a picture published on March 4, she was a front-seat passenger in a car driven by her mother, Carole Middleton, in the Windsor area.
She was also spotted sitting next to William in a chauffeur-driven car last Monday, when he attended the Commonwealth Day service in London and she was driven to a private appointment.
It was reported at the weekend that Kate may speak about her health during public engagements which are not expected to resume until after Easter.
