Princess Kate Middleton finds herself at the center of a burgeoning controversy following her “planned” abdominal surgery earlier this year, as revelations of a security breach concerning her medical records have surfaced, prompting scrutiny and concern from Buckingham Palace and beyond.
The London Clinic, where the Princess underwent her abdominal procedure in January, has disclosed a troubling breach of privacy, indicating that certain staff members allegedly attempted to access Kate’s private medical records without authorization.
The Daily Mail reports that the clinic swiftly launched an investigation into its personnel in response to these allegations, triggered by an unauthorized attempt to obtain Kate’s confidential files following her surgery.
The breach came to light when a staff member was caught attempting to access Kate’s medical notes without proper permission, prompting immediate action from clinic management.
While the specifics of the breach remain undisclosed, Kensington Palace confirmed that Princess Kate is aware of the situation. In a statement to the Daily Mail, the palace asserted that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of The London Clinic, indicating that they are deferring to the institution to address the issue accordingly.
These developments unfold against the backdrop of Prince Harry’s expressed concerns over Kate Middleton’s recent absence from public view. The Duke of Sussex, who relocated to California after stepping back from royal duties in 2020, reportedly feels “distracted” and apprehensive about rumors surrounding Kate’s disappearance.
Sources close to Prince Harry have insisted to Page Six that any insinuation of scandal involving Kate Middleton is unfounded. Drawing from his own tumultuous experiences with media intrusion, the Prince empathizes with Kate’s predicament and is keen to quash speculation surrounding her absence.
