"Alex Jenkinson, 39, pleaded not guilty at Westminster magistrates court on Friday to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence against the former duke of York. Jenkinson is expected to stand trial at the same court on 29 July, when Mountbatten-Windsor intends to give evidence via videolink, according to the prosecutor, Josephine Jones. Jones told the court there certainly is a suggestion that Jenkinson had an interest in Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal status by his brother, the king, in November."
"Mountbatten-Windsor was walking his dogs close to his Marsh Farm home in Wolferton, Norfolk, when the incident allegedly occurred, shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday. Jenkinson, who appeared at court via videolink, gave his address as Debenham in Suffolk and 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 another man, Stephen Terry, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, on 6 May."
"Jenkinson was granted conditional bail on the understanding that he would not try to contact Mountbatten-Windsor, enter Norfolk, or go near the royal residences of Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor, Highgrove and Buckingham Palace."
A 39-year-old man pleaded not guilty to using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The alleged incident occurred shortly after 7:30pm on Wednesday while Mountbatten-Windsor walked his dogs near his Marsh Farm home in Wolferton, Norfolk. The prosecutor said there is a suggestion the defendant had an interest in Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost royal status in November. The defendant is expected to stand trial on 29 July, with Mountbatten-Windsor giving evidence via videolink. The defendant also pleaded guilty to failing to provide a blood specimen while in custody and pleaded not guilty to a separate similar charge involving Stephen Terry in May. Conditional bail was granted with restrictions on contact and travel near multiple royal residences.
