The data watchdog is assessing a report that staff at the hospital where the Princess of Wales had surgery tried to view her private health information.

The Daily Mirror claimed staff at the London Clinic – which is frequently used by royals – “attempted to access her private medical reports”.

The Information Commissioners’ Office (ICO) confirmed it received a “breach report” and is making inquiries.

BBC News has contacted the London Clinic for comment.

According to the Mirror, “at least one member of staff was said to have been caught trying to access” the princess’s medical notes.

The paper said an internal investigation has been launched at the private London hospital, which has treated both the Princess of Wales and King Charles III in recent months.

Asked about the Mirror story, an ICO spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.”

The ICO oversees the use of data protection and freedom of information regulations across the UK.

BBC News has not been able to independently verify the Mirror’s claims, which were published late on Tuesday.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson declined to confirm or deny the report, adding: “This is a matter for The London Clinic.
