- Reporters note the story relies on an unnamed source and remains unverified, with no independent corroboration offered.
- In a separate case, Alex Jenkinson pleaded not guilty after an alleged confrontation with Andrew during a dog walk near his new home on the Sandringham estate.
- Coverage sets the claim against Andrew’s broader troubles, including the loss of titles, a move from Royal Lodge to Marsh Farm, and his care of the late Queen’s corgis.
