Man to appear in court charged with allegedly threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

A MAN IS due to appear in court after being charged with allegedly threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near his new home on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

The former prince was out walking his dogs when the incident occurred in Wolferton, close to his Marsh Farm property, shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday, the Telegraph reported previously.

Alex Jenkinson (39), of Stowmarket, Suffolk, has been charged with two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to harass someone or cause alarm or distress, Norfolk Constabulary said last night.

He has also been charged with failing to provide a specimen of blood in custody and is due to appear at Norwich Magistrates Court today.

Officers had responded to a report that a man was behaving “in an intimidating manner in the village”.

Jenkinson was arrested and questioned in King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre.

Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service said that prosecutors were “providing early investigative advice” to the police as they carry out their inquiries into Andrew’s links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was arrested in March on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his connections with the paedophile financier. He was later released under investigation.

He is accused of sharing sensitive information with Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

The former duke, who is eighth in line to the British throne, was detained on his 66th birthday following allegations that he shared reports of official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore with disgraced financier Epstein.

He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing over his Epstein links.

After serving for 22 years in the Royal Navy, Andrew became the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment in 2001.

He stepped down in 2011 amid the controversy over his friendship with paedophile Epstein.

Andrew’s decision to step down from the role came in the same year he was pictured with his arm around his primary accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to the former duke at the home of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Giuffre claimed she had sex with Andrew three times – at Maxwell’s home in London, at Epstein’s New York townhouse and on the disgraced financier’s Caribbean island, Little St James.

Andrew paid Giuffre millions of pounds to settle a civil suit in the US in 2022, a woman he has claimed never to have met.

Britain’s King Charles officially stripped his disgraced brother of both his His Royal Highness style and his prince title in November 2025.
