Prince Harry has severed ties with a millionaire who tried to sell access to Prince William, according to new claims.
Minerva Mondejar Steiner, who offered “full private” meetings with the Prince of Wales for cash, also supported the Duke of Sussex’s annual WellChild Awards.
She was pictured with Prince Harry, 40, as recently as last September on social media.
Mondejar Steiner captioned her Instagram post at the time: “Honoured to support such an important cause and witness the incredible work being done for seriously ill children.”

The 45-year-old’s gallery, the Mondejar Gallery, was an official sponsor of Prince William’s annual charitable polo event, scheduled for next month in Windsor.
Over the weekend, it was reported by The Sunday Times thatMondejar Steiner tried to sell access to William for £20,000.
The Prince of Wales, 43, subsequently terminated her sponsorship for his £1million-a-year charity polo event at Windsor Great Park just hours after the report was published.
Kensington Palace was understood to be unaware of the rogue sponsor’s alleged activities until alerted by the press.

Now, Prince Harry has severed ties with Mondejar Steiner, according to claims in the Sun.
Despite Mondejar Steiner’s support for the WellChild Awards, there is no suggestion of attempts to sell access to the Duke of Sussex.
GB News has contacted The Mondejar Foundation and the Sussexes’ representatives for comment.
Sources close to the philanthropist told the Times that Mondejar Steiner could not speak about Prince William’s annual charity polo tournament until it had taken place, due to their confidentiality agreement.

They added that Mondejar Steiner’s chief aim was to gather funds for a technical college in her home city, Tacloban, in the Philippines, that had been founded by her father.
The Royal Charity Polo Cup is an exclusive, invite-only event where wealthy donors gather to watch Prince William play polo.
Princess Kate, 43, usually attends the event every year to support her husband.
Over nearly 15 years of William’s participation, the fundraiser has generated more than £13million for charity.
