Ex-London Clinic worker cautioned after trying to leak Princess Kate’s medical notes

  • A former healthcare worker at the London Clinic has received a caution from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
  • The caution was issued for the deliberate misuse of the Princess of Wales’s private medical records and offering to disclose them for financial gain.
  • The ICO launched a criminal investigation in March 2024 after the London Clinic reported a breach of data.
