Hospital worker who ‘accessed Kate Middleton’s medical records’ will be prosecuted

A hospital worker at the London Clinic will be prosecuted for accessing Kate Middleton’s medical records from her surgery in 2024.

The Princess of Wales had abdominal surgery at the London Clinic in early 2024.

Now, a worker at the private clinic is facing criminal prosecution over claims she accessed the records along with three other employees.

The Marylebone clinic, on the corner of Devonshire Place in one of London’s most exclusive neighborhoods, has a long history of treating the royal family and A-list celebrities.

The three were dismissed from their roles after an internal investigation, The Mirror found, and after a two-year criminal investigation, charges are being brought forth.

The penalty for accessing medical records without cause or consent doesn’t involve prison time, but can carry an ‘unlimited fine’.

The alleged offense took place around three weeks after Kate’s abdominal surgery. The Prince and Princess of Wales were made aware of the apparent breach and have been informed on the matter.

At the time of the breach, a source said: ‘This is a major security breach and incredibly damaging for the hospital, given its unblemished reputation for treating members of the Royal Family.’

In a statement, the CEO of the London Clinic said: ‘Everyone at the London Clinic is acutely aware of our individual, professional, ethical and legal duties with regard to patient confidentiality.

‘We have systems in place to monitor management of patient information and, in the case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken.

‘There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues.’
