Shortly after Kate Middleton was hospitalized for stomach surgery at a London hospital last January, allegations emerged that one or more members of hospital staff attempted to access her personal medical records without authorization.

It's rare for people to discover that a breach has occurred, it's rare to get the evidence to prove it, and even if they do, the process is very slow.”

The London clinic, which is the subject of the current investigation, has not provided any information since the alleged breach was reported. “Investigations into reported data breaches can be very complex and our team of experts must be given sufficient time to complete their investigation.

Its conclusion”, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said. For its part, Kensington Palace indicated that the matter was the responsibility of the London Clinic, but did not comment further.
