Overview
- Alex Jenkinson is charged with two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and is due to stand trial on July 29, 2026.
- Jenkinson appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court by video link on May 8, pleaded not guilty to the threatening counts, admitted failing to provide a blood specimen in custody, and was released on conditional bail.
- The court has approved Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor giving evidence remotely, and he is expected to do so next week by video link.
- The alleged encounter took place in May 2026 near Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate while Andrew was walking his dogs with private security and was reported to have left him shaken.
- Separately, Thames Valley Police continue to investigate an earlier February arrest of Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a probe that adds to scrutiny of his security and public role since he lost his royal honours in 2025.
