ICO Cautions Ex-Health Worker Over Bid to Sell Kate's 2024 Medical Records

The UK Information Commissioner's Office cautioned a former healthcare worker after finding deliberate misuse of Catherine, Princess of Wales' medical information and an attempt to disclose it for financial gain.
The case stemmed from a March 2024 report that a staff member at the London Clinic tried to access Kate's notes while she was being treated there following abdominal surgery in January 2024.
The London Clinic said the incident was isolated and that its work with the ICO had brought the matter to a close, while the watchdog said it found no wider organisational or regulatory failings.
Kate later disclosed she was undergoing cancer treatment, said in early 2025 that she was in remission, and has since resumed more public appearances, underscoring the sensitivity of the records involved.
