Prince Andrew trial testimony

Entities: Alex Jenkinson · Paul Goldspring · Marsh Farm · Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor · Sandringham Estate

Overview

In July 2026, former Prince Andrew was set to give remote evidence in the Westminster Magistrates’ Court trial of Alex Jenkinson, who faced two counts of threatening behaviour, one involving a purported threat toward the prince while he was walking his dogs near the Sandringham Estate. The hearing was initially scheduled for 29 July, with the prince expected to appear via video link.

The court later postponed the hearing to 21 December. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring ordered the delay, citing concerns over Jenkinson’s mental health and requiring a further psychiatric assessment before the trial could proceed. Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor will still give his testimony via video‑link from an undisclosed location.

The prosecution intends to rely on a 341‑page download of Jenkinson’s mobile‑phone data, including keyword searches such as “Andrew” and “Sandringham.” The case continues to focus on the alleged threat to the former prince, alongside a separate charge relating to another individual, Stephen Terry.
