Suffolk Police are pursuing a Stalking Protection Order against Jenkinson, based on the former Duke of York’s testimony and data retrieved from the defendant’s phone, as heard in Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram presented parts of Mountbatten-Windsor’s statement in court, which is anticipated to play a significant role in both the criminal proceedings and the police’s request.
The disgraced ex-prince, aged 66, recounted that he was walking his dogs on the royal estate when he observed a parked car, which he initially thought belonged to photographers.
As Andrew and his security team passed the vehicle, he noticed a man standing close by.
The former Duke of York stated: “I then saw a loose dog running towards him. Then he realized who I was and began to sprint after my vehicle.”
The reported incident took place in Wolferton, near Marsh Farm, Andrew’s Sandringham residence.
Jenkinson faces accusations of causing him to fear unlawful violence.
He denies the public order charge and an additional claim of using threatening, abusive, or insulting behavior towards another individual, Stephen Terry, on May 5.
A palace source told Radar: “Andrew was left absolutely quaking by this incident as it makes him think he is now a sitting duck. Security has been massively stepped up in the wake of this, but he is genuinely living in fear for his safety.”
