However, shocking reports have emerged today, revealing that the hospital is investigating claims of a breach in Kate’s confidentiality. Allegedly, at least one staff member, aged 42, was caught attempting to access her private medical records. This incident raises major concerns, not only for the hospital known for discreetly treating members of the royal family and high-profile individuals but also for the royals themselves, who undoubtedly wanted to keep Kate’s medical information private.
An insider told the Daily Mirror, “This is a major security breach and incredibly damaging for the hospital, given its unblemished reputation for treating members of the Royal Family. Senior hospital bosses contacted Kensington Palace immediately after the incident was brought to their attention and assured the palace there would be a full investigation.”

The London Clinic, while refusing to comment on the claims, emphasized their commitment to patient privacy: “We firmly believe that all our patients, no matter their status, deserve total privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information.”
Kate Middleton is said to be aware of the alleged incident, and Kensington Palace stated, “This is a matter for The London Clinic.”
Regarding her surgery in January, little information has been provided. The Palace referred to it as a “planned abdominal procedure” and announced that Kate would not resume her royal engagements until at least Easter. The lack of updates has fueled speculation and outlandish theories about her well-being and whereabouts.

Sources close to Kate have indicated that she may choose to discuss her hospitalization in the future. “They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready,” an insider revealed. “I would expect that to be her instinct, and it will be her call. They’re not going to be rushed.”
