A 39-year-old individual entered a not guilty plea on Friday in relation to charges of threatening former Prince Andrew close to his new residence on the Sandringham estate owned by the royal family.
The accused, Alex Jenkinson, faces allegations of making threatening, abusive, or insulting remarks towards the former prince. Andrew, previously stripped of his royal titles by King Charles III last year due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, is at the center of these accusations.
Jenkinson is charged with two separate incidents: one involving threats against Andrew on Wednesday and another involving a different person on Tuesday.
The ex-Duke of York is anticipated to testify during the trial, which is scheduled for July 29 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Andrew was reportedly accosted by a masked individual who yelled at him while he was out walking his dogs near his home.

“Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon,” the police statement said.
The incident comes three months after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, was arrested, himself, on suspicion of misconduct in public office connected to his Epstein ties and his time as the U.K. trade envoy.

Virginia Giuffre, Andrew’s main accuser, claimed that she was forced to have sex with the royal three times starting when she was 17 years old.
Andrew has denied all of the accusations against him, but settled with Giuffre in 2022 over her civil sexual assault lawsuit. She later died of suicide in 2025.

Jenkinson appeared in court remotely from King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre in Norfolk on Friday with his arm in a sling.
He did plead guilty to failing to provide specimen of blood while in custody.
Jenkinson was released on bail on the condition that he doesn’t enter the county of Norfolk, attempt any contact with Andrew, and he must stay 500 meters away from Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle and Highgrove.
