A British privacy watchdog is investigating a report that staff at a private London hospital tried to snoop on the Princess of Wales’ medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery. The Information Commissioner’s Office confirmed Wednesday that it had received a breach report and is "assessing the information provided.” The Daily Mirror newspaper reported that at least one staff member at the London Clinic tried to look at Kate’s notes during her stay there in January. Kate had surgery at the clinic in central London on Jan. 16 and was discharged almost two weeks later. The chief executive of the hospital said Wednesday that “all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken.”
