Britain\u2019s data watchdog said it was looking into a report that staff at the hospital where Catherine, Princess of Wales, underwent abdominal surgery in January, had attempted to access her private health records.
\nA spokesperson for the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office said on Wednesday: \u201cWe can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.\u201d
\nThe report in the Daily Mirror said managers at The London Clinic, where King Charles was also treated in January, were investigating claims that at least one member of staff had been caught trying to access Kate\u2019s medical notes.
\nKensington Palace said it was \u201ca matter for The London Clinic.\u201d
\nKate, 42, had surgery for a non-cancerous but unspecified condition during her stay of around two weeks in the hospital.
\nShe stepped back from official duties and Kensington Palace has said she is not expected to return to royal engagements until after Easter.
\nHer absence from public life has triggered speculation, rumor and bizarre conspiracy theories about her health.
\nKate\u2019s apology earlier this month for editing a photo taken by her husband William, the heir to the throne, to mark Mother\u2019s Day only sparked further intrigue.
\nOn Monday, however, a video published by the Sun newspaper on its website showed her walking and carrying shopping bags alongside William at a farm shop in Windsor near their home.
\nKensington Palace has not denied that the video is genuine but has declined to comment on a matter it regards as being the royals\u2019 private time.
\nThe London Clinic did not immediately respond to a request to comment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
