Prince Andrew to Testify in Court

Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles, is scheduled to testify in an English court this July. The trial concerns a man charged with using threatening or abusive words towards the former prince.

Alex Jenkinson, 39, pleaded not guilty to threatening behaviour intended to cause fear of unlawful violence. He also denied a second charge related to threatening or abusive words or behaviour towards another man. Jenkinson has pleaded guilty to a third charge of failing to provide a blood sample after his arrest.

Jenkinson was granted bail with conditions, prohibiting him from contacting Prince Andrew, entering Norfolk, or attending specific royal residences. The trial is set for July 29, when Mountbatten-Windsor, who has resided in Sandringham since February, is expected to provide evidence remotely.

Police were alerted to a man behaving intimidatily near the King's Sandringham estate, where Mountbatten-Windsor currently lives. The former prince, stripped of his titles, is eighth in line to the throne. He has previously denied wrongdoing concerning his past associations.
