The medical records of Catherine, Princess of Wales, were allegedly breached at the London Clinic in recent weeks, prompting an investigation by the United Kingdom's independent data privacy watchdog. The report broke amid speculations over Catherine's condition since a mid-January planned abdominal surgery at the prestigious clinic has kept her out of the public eye.
The probe comes as Catherine continues to deal with the fallout over a highly edited photo she shared of herself and her children earlier this month to quell spiraling rumors over her condition. On Wednesday, a second photo featuring the late Queen Elizabeth with some of her grandchildren was identified to have undergone similar edits (see visual).
Catherine has not participated in public ceremonies since Christmas, though she has been spotted in public at least three times, including in video footage taken Sunday. She is expected to return to duties next month. See a timeline of events here.
