A healthcare worker at the London Clinic has faced disciplinary action, including dismissal, for attempting to access and sell sensitive medical information belonging to Kate Middleton. The incident occurred after the Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery earlier this year.
The employee reportedly sought to gain financial benefit by illicitly obtaining details from the princess's medical records. The London Clinic, a private medical facility where Kate Middleton received treatment, confirmed the worker's termination following the breach.
Princess Kate was admitted for planned abdominal surgery in January 2024. Following the procedure, her medical team announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer, prompting a period of recovery and reduced public duties. The attempt to sell her private health details represents a significant breach of patient confidentiality.
