A man faces arrest following a threatening encounter where he chased Prince Andrew during a dog walk near the royal’s new residence on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The 66-year-old former prince was out walking his dogs—reportedly the late Queen’s corgis—on Wednesday when the incident unfolded. The suspect, positioned about 50 yards away, approached Andrew and began shouting aggressively. Accompanied by private security, Andrew quickly entered his vehicle and sped off, with the man allegedly pursuing on foot.
Authorities took the suspect into custody shortly after 7:30 p.m. in the village of Wolferton.
Recent Relocation
Prince Andrew moved to Marsh Farm, his permanent home on the Sandringham Estate, last month. This followed his departure from Royal Lodge in Windsor amid connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
