Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to give evidence in trial of man accused of threatening him
The magistrate delayed proceedings while psychiatric assessments continue and prosecutors prepare to use a 341-page phone download as evidence.
- On Wednesday, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring postponed the trial of Alex Jenkinson, accused of threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, until December 21 to allow psychiatric assessments of the defendant's mental health.
- Jenkinson faces a public order charge for allegedly causing Andrew to 'fear unlawful violence' on May 6 near Marsh Farm, an incident on the Sandringham Estate where the Duke moved following pressure to vacate Royal Lodge.
- Defence barrister Claire Howell objected to police methods used to compile a 341-page download of material from Jenkinson's phone, while the court heard a full psychiatric report is expected by early August.
- Three witnesses are slated to testify at the trial, with prosecutors expecting Andrew to provide evidence via videolink; the case also involves a separate allegation regarding Stephen Terry in King's Lynn on May 5.
- Bail restrictions prohibit Jenkinson from entering Norfolk or contacting Andrew, as the court manages security risks for royal sites like Balmoral and Highgrove amid ongoing scrutiny regarding Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein.
