LONDON (AP) A British privacy watchdog said Wednesday it is looking into 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 Commissioners Office said: We can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.

The Daily Mirror newspaper reported that at least one staff member at the London Clinic tried to look at Princess Kates 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.

Kensington Palace, the office of Kate and Prince William, said the report was a matter for the London Clinic. The London Clinic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
