The Telegraph reports:

GCHQ is investigating a cyber attack on the London private hospital favoured by the Royal family.

The spy agency’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is probing what King Edward VII’s Hospital described as “an IT security incident” during which a “third-party” obtained confidential medical information such as doctors’ letters and pathology reports relating to some patients. The hospital’s website was also affected by the incident.

The hospital is known as being the first port of call for senior members of the Royal family over many years, with the late Queen Elizabeth II – who acted as its patron – and Prince Philip having been admitted to the central London medical centre several times.
