A woman who claims to have had a past relationship with Prince Harry was recently arrested in Majorca for allegedly leaving a hotel without settling a bill of nearly £450. Catherine Ommanney, a 53-year-old reality TV personality, was taken into custody on suspicion of fraud after a hotel manager reported the incident to local authorities. The hotel in question, Playas del Rey Hotel, located in Santa Ponsa near Magaluf, accused Catherine of departing without paying a bill amounting to over €500 (£434) for a stay spanning nine days.
Law enforcement sources have confirmed the arrest, stating that Catherine, known for her alleged involvement with Prince Harry when he was 21 and she was 34, appeared before a judge in Palma, the capital of Majorca. Following the court appearance, she was released on bail pending further investigation. Reports indicate that Catherine had made a reservation using a card that was allegedly lacking sufficient funds.
Details about her court testimony or explanations for the incident remain unclear at this time. Catherine, who rose to fame as one of the original cast members on Real Housewives of DC, was seen leaving a court cell with a Civil Guard officer to attend a closed-door hearing.
When approached for comment after her release, Catherine made no statements. She previously disclosed details of her alleged fling with Prince Harry in 2006, stating that their relationship was short-lived but friendly when they later crossed paths in 2009. Despite her denial of the unpaid bill accusations, she affirmed having evidence to prove the settlement of the outstanding amount and hinted at a possible legal recourse against the hotel for what she described as a “technical error.”
The Playas del Rey Hotel declined to provide immediate comments on the matter, citing the absence of the manager. As of now, court officials have not responded to inquiries regarding the resolution of the case and any updates on the investigation status.
