Kate Middleton’s two-week hospital stint is being thrust back into the spotlight after it was claimed that a staffer at the London Clinic allegedly breached her medical records.

The famed UK hospital has launched an investigation after at least one member of the staff allegedly tried to access health information belonging to the Princess of Wales during her hospital stay.

“This is a major security breach and incredibly damaging for the hospital, given its unblemished reputation for treating members of the royal family,” an insider told the Mirror.

The mom of three would have been under the watchful eye of dedicated doctors and nurses in her own private room during her stint at the clinic, which offers a personalized food menu, internet access and the ability to accommodate patients’ requests.

The London Clinic, which is one of the UK’s largest independent hospitals, was opened by the Duke and Duchess of York in 1932.

It’s considered to be one of the most high-end medical facilities, boasting state-of-the-art equipment and wards for surgeries in urology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, orthopedics and spinal procedures.

According to British health watchdog Care Quality Commission, the hospital has about 23,000 inpatients a year, with a further 110,000 outpatients, which currently includes King Charles.

Charles also underwent a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate at the top private clinic, located in the uber-posh Marylebone area.
