# Trial postponed in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stalking case > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/prince-andrew-trial-testimony > Updated: 2026-08-15T13:28:39.000Z. Sources: 25. Developments: 5. Former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is set to give remote evidence in the Westminster Magistrates’ Court case against Alex Jenkinson. The incident occurred on 6 May 2026 near the Sandringham Estate, where Mountbatten-Windsor reported being chased by a man in a balaclava after a loose dog ran toward him. Police allege Jenkinson chased the former royal with a cane and possessed an offensive weapon, causing him to flee to his vehicle. Jenkinson faces charges of threatening, abusive, or insulting behaviour, as well as a separate charge for threatening a man named Stephen Terry in King’s Lynn on 5 May. Suffolk Police have applied for a civil Stalking Protection Order, which Jenkinson is contesting. At a recent hearing, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring postponed the trial, originally set for July 2026, to 21 December 2026, citing concerns regarding the defendant’s mental health and ordering further psychiatric assessments. The prosecution is reviewing approximately 340 pages of digital forensics from Jenkinson’s phone, which include searches for “Andrew’s Norfolk Security” and “Prince Andrew birthday.” The defence has questioned the relevance of these searches, and the judge has given prosecutors until 15 September to decide if the evidence will be admitted. Jenkinson remains on conditional bail, prohibited from approaching Mountbatten-Windsor or entering Norfolk. Security measures around the former prince have been substantially increased following the incident. ## Claims - Alex Jenkinson, 39, is accused of threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor during a dog walk on 6 May near the Sandringham Estate.
