Man charged with harassing Andrew near his home

A man has been charged with harassing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after reports that the former Prince Andrew was threatened by a masked man while walking dogs near his home.

Alex Jenkinson, 39, is due at Norwich Magistrates Court on Friday to face two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to harass someone or cause alarm or distress. Norfolk Constabulary announced the charges on Thursday night. Police said the suspect was arrested Wednesday evening after a man was reported “behaving in an intimidating manner” near Andrew’s home in eastern England.

The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that a man wearing a ski mask ran toward the former royal while shouting abuse.
