LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's data watchdog said it was looking into a report that staff at the hospital where Kate, Princess of Wales, underwent abdominal surgery in January, had attempted to access her private health records.

The report in the Daily Mirror said managers at The London Clinic, where King Charles was also treated in January, were investigating claims that at least one member of staff had been caught trying to access Kate's medical notes.
