Andrew feeling ‘more resentful’ – King’s brother ‘won’t let him forget’ | Royal | News
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is likely to feel even more bitter about being exiled to Sandringham House after he was reportedly threatened near his new home, an expert has claimed. It is thought a man approached Mountbatten-Windsor’s vehicle in a frightening manner within meters of her on Wednesday evening. The former Duke of York was reportedly walking his dogs when the incident allegedly occurred in Wolferton, near his Marsh Farm home, shortly after 7.30pm.
Alex Jenkinson, 39, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday. He pleaded not guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior with the intention of instilling fear or inciting unlawful violence against the former prince.
Andrew’s accommodation costs are being paid privately by his brother the King after the former prince’s links to the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were revealed.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said: Mirror He thinks Andrew will use this alleged incident to demand more security, funded by his brother.
He added: “He is likely to feel even more resentful of being exiled to the more public circles of Sandringham.
“This will obviously make Andrew even more nervous about going out, but he always seems to have at least one bodyguard with him – and the truth is, he escaped unharmed. But it proved that Mountbatten-Windsor was a target and needed security. And I don’t think he’ll let the King forget that.”
Jennie added: “This must have been a frightening experience that will have shocked Andrew and the rest of his family. “I don’t think we should wish this on anyone.
“One of the greatest dangers to any member of the Royal Family has always been the lone protester or follower – the late Queen in Trooping, Charles, and a gunman in Australia, Anne and her attempted kidnapping.
“I think there may have been some communication, if not a direct conversation, between Charles and Andrew, and I can imagine his other siblings picking up the phone to check if he was okay. He is still their brother after all.”
This follows Andrew’s arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Epstein while serving as Britain’s trade envoy. He vehemently denied any wrongdoing regarding his Epstein connections.
