Andrew Faces Footpath Row Near Royal Estate
15 Sep
Summary
- A public footpath dispute is ongoing near Prince Andrew's Norfolk residence.
- A campaigner seeks to re-establish a historic right of way near his farm.
- The dispute follows a recent alleged stalker incident near his home.
Prince Andrew has become involved in a dispute concerning a public footpath near his residence on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Activists are campaigning to reinstate a historic right of way that traverses the Wolferton marshes, potentially leading to increased public presence near his home.
Dr. David Ormerod is leading the effort, having lodged an application to register the route as a restricted by-way, asserting it was incorrectly removed from records approximately 70 years ago. This situation arises shortly after Andrew recounted an alleged encounter with a balaclava-clad individual near Marsh Farm earlier this year.
The individual, Alex Jenkinson, faces a public order offense charge for the incident, which occurred on May 6. Jenkinson denies the charge and is scheduled for a criminal trial on December 21, during which Andrew is expected to provide evidence remotely.
