A man is facing charges of harassment against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following an incident where the former Prince Andrew was allegedly confronted by a masked individual during a dog walk near his residence.
Alex Jenkinson, aged 39, is scheduled to appear at Norwich Magistrates Court on Friday. He is accused of two counts of using words or actions that were threatening, abusive, or insulting, aimed at causing harassment or distress.
The Norfolk Constabulary made the announcement about these charges on Thursday evening.
Authorities reported that the arrest took place on Wednesday night when a man was seen “acting in a threatening manner” close to Andrew’s home, located in the eastern part of England.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the incident involved a man, his face obscured by a ski mask, who allegedly charged at the former royal while hurling verbal abuse.
Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, the younger brother of King Charles III, moved to the king’s private Sandringham Estate, about 100 miles north of London, after he was evicted from his longtime home near Windsor Castle following revelations about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He was stripped of all his honors and titles and banished from public view by the royal family after years of scandal over his money woes and links to questionable characters, including Epstein.
One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, alleged that she was forced to have sex with the then-prince three times starting when she was 17.
He denied it, but eventually settled the case for an undisclosed sum and acknowledged Giuffre’s suffering as a victim of sex trafficking. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025, aged 41.
In February, he became the first senior British royal in almost 400 years to be arrested when he was held for hours by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office in a case related to his links to Epstein.
Police had previously said they were “assessing” reports that Mountbatten-Windsor sent trade information to Epstein, a wealthy investor and convicted sex offender, in 2010, when the former prince was the UK special envoy for international trade.
Correspondence between the two men was released by the US Justice Department along with millions of pages of documents from the American investigation into Epstein.
