Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scheduled as witness in harassment trial

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will testify as a witness next week in the trial of a man accused of threatening the younger brother of King Charles III.

GB News reported that the accused, Alex Jenkinson, faces two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to harass or cause alarm or distress. One charge involves Mountbatten-Windsor following an alleged encounter in May near his Marsh Farm residence on the Sandringham Estate. Jenkinson, a computer science graduate from Suffolk, pleaded not guilty to the charges during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 8. He also denied a separate accusation of threatening another man, Stephen Terry, on May 5.

The Telegraph first reported the incident, which occurred while Mountbatten-Windsor walked his dogs alongside his private security team. Associates noted that the encounter left him shaken, raising immediate concerns regarding his personal safety. Following his arrest, Jenkinson made his first court appearance via video link on May 8. During the proceedings, the court approved for Mountbatten-Windsor to deliver his testimony remotely during the trial to avoid disruption.

Mountbatten-Windsor, the father of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, currently lives at Marsh Farm after being stripped of his royal titles and expelled from Royal Lodge in Windsor due to his ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Jenkinson is scheduled to stand trial on July 29, when Mountbatten-Windsor will give his evidence remotely.
