Investigation launched over "major security breach" at Princess Kate's hospital
New reports have claimed that there was an alleged security breach at the hospital where the Princess of Wales was treated, and an internal investigation is currently underway.
According to the Daily Mirror's Royal Editor Russell Myers, bosses at The London Clinic have launched a probe into the claims that Kate Middleton's confidentiality was breached by staff.
"The reason [for the alleged investigation] is that there is allegations that a member of staff accessed her private medical records," Myers, said on Today this morning.
He also described it as "a major security breach," citing an unidentified insider who claims that Kensington Palace was contacted by the hospital bosses immediately after the alleged incident and "assured the Palace there would be a full investigation."
"Kensington Palace and indeed the Princess of Wales have been extremely guarded about the nature of the surgery," he added.
"Sources have told me that it's something she may wish to discuss in the future but it is a private medical matter now in the UK."
Myers also claimed that he had spoken with London's Metropolitan Police, but said that they "haven't confirmed they are involved" at this stage.
Just yesterday, Myers commented on the footage of Princess Kate out in public for the first time since Christmas, calling it "the video that everybody had been clambering for."
"The main thing is, Kate looks very happy and fully healthy," Myers said on the Today show.
Kensington Palace and The London Clinic have not provided a comment on the matter at this stage.
The Princess of Wales is expected to return to her royal duties after easter.
