A former healthcare worker at the London Clinic is issued a formal caution by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) after being found to have deliberately misused the Princess of Wales’s private medical records and offered to disclose them for financial gain. The reports say the case relates to concerns raised after the clinic treated the Princess of Wales for abdominal surgery in early 2024. The ICO says it launched an investigation following the London Clinic’s report of a data breach, described as involving the unlawful obtaining and disclosure of medical information to a third party without the consent of the data controller. The Guardian and other outlets report the caution follows the ICO’s action connected to the alleged access and offer to provide the records. Some outlets also state that criminal proceedings or prosecution are being pursued or expected, though the central, shared point across reports is the ICO’s formal caution tied to the alleged misuse of the Princess of Wales’s medical notes.
