Man accused of threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to go on trial

  • Alex Jenkinson will stand trial on 21 December for allegedly using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour towards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Norfolk on 6 May.
  • The incident reportedly occurred while Andrew was walking his dogs in Wolferton, and he is expected to give evidence via videolink.
  • The trial was postponed from its original date due to concerns over Jenkinson's mental health, with a psychiatric report due in early August.
  • Evidence will include online searches from Jenkinson's phone, such as “Prince Andrew” and “birthday”, though the defence has raised objections to the evidence's preparation.
  • Jenkinson, who denies the public order offence against Andrew, has pleaded guilty to failing to provide a blood specimen and is on conditional bail, including not entering Norfolk or contacting Andrew.
