Australian court bans man from contacting Norwegian princess studying in Sydney
Police said the order follows a card he sent asking for friendship and an altercation that left a photographer with minor injuries.
- On Wednesday, Newtown Local Court issued a two-year protection order prohibiting David James Cooke from contacting Princess Ingrid Alexandra, also barring him from the University in Sydney where she studies.
- Police applied for the order after Cooke sent the princess a card 'asking for friendship' following an earlier encounter, though Cooke stated he intended no harm.
- Moments after the court hearing, officers took the 63-year-old into custody following an altercation with a photographer outside the court building, and he is expected to be charged over the incident.
- Princess Ingrid Alexandra, second in line to the throne of Norway, recently returned to be with Crown Princess Mette-Marit amid her mother's worsening medical condition.
- The incident coincides with wider scrutiny of the Norwegian royal family, including Prince Marius Borg's trial for abuse and released documents showing Mette-Marit's past contact with Jeffrey Epstein.
