William terminated her sponsorship for his £1million-a-year charity polo event at Windsor Great Park within hours of The Sunday Times report.
Now Harry has severed ties too with Ms Mondejar Steiner.
She backed his annual WellChild charity awards in London and was pictured with him in September on her Mondejar Gallery Instagram page.
It read: 'Honoured to support such an important cause and witness the incredible work being done for seriously ill children.'
There is no suggestion of attempts to sell access to Prince Harry.
The Mondejar Foundation was approached for comment.
Prince William has marked two years of his Homewards project for rough sleepers by writing to six coalitions across the UK, thanking them for setting up 300 homes.
Charitable Wills last week turned his attention to climate change, declaring saving the planet is a 'team game'.
He told a Climate Week gathering his Earthshot prize is aimed at preserving 'all the things we as human beings care about'.
Every year this decade the Prince of Wales awards £1million to each of five winners working to save the planet.
Prince William was seething at Harry for years but now he has far more serious things to deal with
He explained: 'Everything we want to do here starts with a team game.
'And the prize is just the pinnacle of the ability to showcase all the brilliant people around working in this space.'
Wills told the audience at Bloomberg's London HQ: 'It takes a village to raise a family.
'If you take that into the concept of a planet, it takes all of us to raise that planet.'

Love Island viewers blast Helena for making VERY X-rated comment to former flame Harry during raunchy lap dance - despite sparking tense love triangle with Harrison and Toni
The heart rate challenge sent shockwaves through the villa on Monday night's dramatic episode. It was Helena who was at the centre of the most shocking scene after whispering something wild in ex flame Harry's ear during her dance. As she danced around him in her skimpy underwear she whispered in his ear 'I want to f**k you' in a shocking moment. It came just a few hours after she said to Harrison that he was the only one she was interested in in the villa - causing her to clash with his current partner Toni. And viewers at home were gobsmacked by the X-rated comment as they penned on X: 'What did Helena say to Harry?!?! #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.', 'I CANT WAIT TO WHAT? THAT MAN DON'T LIKE YOU HELENA. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.', 'Does Helena know being this desperate isn't attractive? #loveisland #LoveIslandUK.', 'Helena is so stupid whispering such rubbish to a man that still didnt pick you #LoveIsland.', 'Helena knew Shakira won that contest hence she said what she said to Harry. Pathetic. #LoveIsland.' 'can't believe helena said that #LoveIsland.' 'Heyyyyy Helennnnaaaaa heyyyy so why did you say that to Harry? #loveisland.', 'Helena this is embarrassing #loveisland.', 'so helena heard the speech harry made about being there just for shakira and still decided to whisper that to him??? heart of gold where???? #LoveIsland.', 'Helena you can't wait to what ?? #LoveIslandUK #loveisland.' As the boys took their turn Harry carried on the X-rated chat as she said back to her 'do you still want to f**k me?' During the episode Shakira received a text message announcing a new challenge for the villa. She read: 'Islanders, it's time to get each others' pulses racing in tonight's Boys vs Girls challenge. #HeartthrobMode #BootyandBeats'. The girls went first, with Toni leading the way, and attempted to raise the boys' heart rates with saucy performances. Alima's heart-racing entrance stunned the men while Emily dressed like an angel and Shakira throwing rose petals. He later asks Tommy to pass the cheeky message on and Dejon looks shocked when he hears what Helena said. The boys then took their turn to raise pulses too - Tommy's go-to was a whopping bouquet of red roses, while Conor tried his best with a Rugby ball. Harrison donned pleather as he tries to impress the girls while Giorgio dressed like a waiter and poured chocolate on his torso. As for Harry, he wore gold angel wings and chooses to whisper back in Helena's ear. Dejon's trick involved him lying Meg down on the floor. At the end of the challenge, the Islanders are told who raised their heart rates the highest and the results caused shock waves amongst the group. Shakira was left fuming that her partner Harry's heart rate was raised the most by ex flame Helena. The evening before, Shakira confronted Harry about his kiss with Helena during the game of Snog, Marry, Pie. She asked him: 'Why did you do it?' Harry replied: 'Because I had no reason to kiss anyone else.' But Shakira wasn't pleased with his reasoning and fumed: 'You knew that would p**s me off. It came after she said she liked Harrison (seen) the most 'You could've kissed anybody, then to get down on one knee like, I was going to be buzzing after I watched you snog her…' Harry attempted to make amends and said: 'I don't want to hurt you, I haven't tried to hurt you Shakira.' She replied: 'But you have. Everything in me is telling me to burn it.' Later on in the evening, the Islanders were called to recouple and the boys were given the power to choose first. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Strictly star hits out at 'tough' axing after brutal way they found out
Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips has branded her exit from the BBC dance competition as 'tough' as she gave her opinion on the latest scandals Arlene Phillips has admitted she found her Strictly Come Dancing exit "tough," after being suddenly replaced without warning. The dancer and former judge, 82, saw her departure from the hit BBC competition spark an ageism row as Alesha Dixon, then 30, took her place. Despite having decades of experience as a dancer and choreographer, Arlene found out about the bosses' decision through the radio rather than being told directly. Controversy has continued to surround the dance competition over the years, with actress Amanda Abbington sparking a bullying row. She had accused her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, of bullying during their time together in 2023, which he denied. This year, the drama off stage continued once again as Wynne Evans was booted off the tour due to his behaviour. Arlene has since opened up on her own exit as well as the scandals that have followed. She told The Sunday Times: "I loved my time on Strictly and it was tough when I left, but I got up and carried on with life. "I wasn't there when accusations of bullying were made against some of the dancers, but I was quite strict when I started teaching." The dancer credits her children with learning how to communicate without losing her temper. "I realised there was a different way to talk to people when I had a child - I didn't want to lose my temper," she confessed. "There are ways to get people to do as you want without shouting." Last year, Arlene admitted she 'kicked, screamed and sobbed' when she found out she was getting the boot from her beloved show. She had joined Strictly in 2004, but after the show wrapped in 2008, Arlene found out she'd got the chop. Speaking out about the axe in a chat with the Mirror, the decorated Dame candidly admitted how she dealt with the news. She revealed: "I gave myself 48 hours to kick, scream, cry and sob, and eat scones with cream and jam, then I made myself wake up and get on with it." Arlene went on to admit she felt she didn't ask the right questions after finding out the news, having later had more time to reflect. She continued: "I was very fragile because I had a bereavement the day before [her manager died]. "I wanted to know in detail and I wanted to know the real reason at the point when they decided for me to go, yet they kept me hanging on for so long with the possibility that there would be five judges." At the time, it was rumoured that Arlene was axed because BBC thought she 'too old.' However, she claimed she still didn't know the reason why when she was dropped and replaced by Alesha, who had never critiqued a dance show - but was crowned Strictly champion. When reflecting on the abrupt end to her time on the show, Arlene exuded elegance, stating: "I'm a grown up so when life comes along and it doesn't go the way you want, you just get on with it." However, when quizzed about the possibility of rejoining the show, the former judge was unequivocally resolute, affirming: "They would never ask me so I would never think about it. It's not even an option."
