The clinic where Kate Middleton was treated got into a loud scandal: someone tried to gain access to the princess's medical data

A private London clinic where Kate Middleton underwent surgery in January has been caught up in a scandal. Employees of the medical facility, whose names are not disclosed, tried to gain access to the Princess of Wales's data.

The hospital's management launched an urgent investigation after it became known that at least one employee tried to find out the royal's personal information. This was reported by the Daily Mail.

The details of the scandal have only just emerged: the prestigious clinic refused to respond when it first became aware of the alleged breach. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) confirmed that it had "received a report" and was in the process of "assessing the information provided."

Meanwhile, insiders at the hospital, located in central London, said staff were "shocked and embarrassed" that a "trusted colleague" could commit such a "breach of trust and ethics." The princess is said to be aware of the allegations. "This is a matter for the London Clinic," a Kensington Palace spokesman commented.

Although the administration of the medical facility declined to answer questions, representatives said they firmly believe "that all patients, regardless of their status, deserve complete privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information."
