Three London Clinic employees are under investigation over allegations of attempting to access Kate Middleton's medical records.
Kate underwent abdominal surgery at the clinic on January 17 and stayed there for almost two weeks to recover.
The breach reportedly took place after Kate was fired on January 29. However, it is unclear whether the three workers have been suspended yet, according to Mirror.
Middleton's father-in-law, King Charles, also received his prostate treatment at the same clinic during the same month. He did not access the King's records during the breach.
“This is a major security breach and incredibly damaging to the hospital, given its unblemished reputation for treating members of the Royal Family,” an insider told the publication.
“Senior bosses at the hospital contacted Kensington Palace immediately after being informed of the incident and assured the palace that there would be a full investigation,” they continued.
“All medical staff were completely shocked and distressed by the allegations and were very hurt that a trusted colleague could have been responsible for such a breach of trust and ethics,” they added.
