First pic of man accused of threatening Ex-Prince Andrew who should ‘steer clear of royals’

Alex Jenkinson, 39, has pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near his home

A man has denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near King Charles’ Sandringham estate.

Alex Jenkinson, 39, pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday (May 8) to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence to the former Duke of York.

Andrew was out walking his dogs when the incident occurred in Wolferton, close to his Marsh Farm property, shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday (May 6), the Telegraph reported previously.

Jenkinson, who gave his address as Debenham in Suffolk, pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen of blood while in custody on the same day.

He pleaded not guilty to a further charge of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence against a man, Stephen Terry, in King’s Lynn, on May 5.

Jenkinson was granted conditional bail to not go near a number of sites linked to the Royal Family, including Buckingham Palace.

The other sites he must not go near include Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor and Highgrove.

Jenkinson must also not try to contact Andrew directly or indirectly or approach him, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.

He will stand trial at the same court on July 29.

Prosecutor Josephine Jones said it is intended for Andrew to give evidence during the trial via a video link.
