A 39-year-old man pleaded not guilty on Friday to threatening ex-Prince Andrew near his new home in the royal family’s Sandringham estate.
Alex Jenkinson, 39, is accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior towards the former king, whose royal titles were stripped by King Charles III last year because of his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Jenkinson, who faces two charges, is accused of threatening Andrew on Wednesday and another man on Tuesday.
The former Duke of York is also expected to give evidence at the trial, which has been adjourned to July 29 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

“The police arrived, and the suspect was arrested for public harassment and possession of a weapon,” said the police statement.
The incident comes three months after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, was jailed, himself, for alleged misconduct in public office linked to his relationship with Epstein and his time as UK trade ambassador.
