LONDON — Britain’s data watchdog has launched an investigation after a report that staff at the elite hospital where Kate, the Princess of Wales, underwent surgery had tried to access her medical records. Kate, 42, has been the subject of worldwide intrigue and conspiracy theories after undergoing the unspecified abdominal procedure at the London Clinic, which is used by royals and celebrities, in January.
Asked about the breach report received by the Information Commissioner’s Office, a spokesperson for London's Metropolitan police said: 'We are not aware of any referral to the Metropolitan Police at this time.' It’s the latest twist in a royal saga that refuses to go away. The palace announced in January that Kate would be taking more than two months off after undergoing unspecified abdominal surgery.
