Man denies using threatening words towards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Alex Jenkinson also denied a separate threatening charge, and a judge granted him conditional bail ahead of a July 29 trial.
On Friday, Alex Jenkinson pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates Court to threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near his home on the Sandringham Estate on Wednesday.
Norfolk Police said officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in response to reports a man was "behaving in an intimidating manner in the village."
Jenkinson will stand trial on July 29, when Mountbatten-Windsor is expected to give evidence, though Jenkinson also pleaded guilty to failing to provide a blood sample while in custody.
Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, relocated to King Charles's private Sandringham Estate earlier this year after being evicted from his longtime home in Windsor Great Park following revelations about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The former prince was arrested on his 66th birthday in March on suspicion of misconduct in public office regarding his connections with Epstein, though he has denied any wrongdoing.
He is said to have threatened Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the Gassigang. In court, the accused asserts his innocence. He is no longer allowed to approach numerous royal estates.
