Princess Charlotte has safety concerns over Andrew Windsor’s Stalker
Princess Charlotte’s safety has come under renewed scrutiny after a man accused of stalking Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly searched for children online, in addition to searches related to weapons and killing methods.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the allegations that emerged at a hearing involving Alex Jenkinson, 39, who is due to stand trial next month over claims he confronted Andrew, 66, near his home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on May 6.
Prosecutors allege Jenkinson also investigated the Princess of Wales and her children, prompting the Suffolk Constabulary to apply for an interim protection order against stalking while criminal proceedings continue.
The order was recently granted, with a full hearing scheduled for August.
James Farrell, representing Suffolk Constabulary, told the court that police discovered extensive internet searches after checking Jenkinson’s phone following his arrest.
Farrell said: “We say this shows a pattern of behavior and targeted escalating behavior associated with stalking. Mr Jenkinson shows elements of resentment and fixation on the subject. We have reasonable grounds to believe the order is necessary to protect the complainant from risk. We say the bail conditions are not sufficient to limit the escalating risk.”
According to the court, investigators identified searches involving firearms, knives, explosives, members of the royal family and murder methods.
Farrell also warned that without close monitoring, Jenkinson “could become fixated on more weapons and methods of killing, and this could spiral out of control with more serious consequences.”
A source familiar with the proceedings said the alleged online activity had heightened concerns beyond the original allegations involving Andrew.
The insider said: “Investigators deemed the volume and nature of the searches significant enough to warrant seeking additional security measures as the criminal case progresses. The concern was that the behavior was widening rather than narrowing, and the fact that children have been named in this case has led to a huge increase in security around the royal children, including the most vulnerable like Charlotte.”
Jenkinson has pleaded not guilty to charges that he used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior to intimidate or cause alarm or distress.
The charge relates to an incident where he allegedly approached Andrew near Marsh Farm before chasing him on foot and by car while wearing a balaclava and camouflage clothing.
The court heard that when armed officers arrested Jenkinson, he was allegedly carrying a wooden-handled ax and had a rock in his pocket.
He was initially detained under the Mental Health Act and later discharged after allegedly trying to flee the hospital.
Jenkinson remains subject to strict bail conditions banning him from contacting Andrew or entering Norfolk.
He is also banned from coming within 500 meters of the Sandringham estate, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral Castle, Windsor Castle and Highgrove.
Benjamin Thiele-Long, representing Jenkinson, argued that the interim stalking protection order was unnecessary because his client had committed no further alleged offenses since his arrest and was already subject to strict bail conditions.
Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram nevertheless granted the interim injunction and told Jenkinson he would have to comply with strict conditions regarding both his movements and internet use pending a full post-criminal trial hearing.
Another source familiar with the case said: “The preliminary injunction reflects the court’s position that existing restrictions should be strengthened while the allegations are tested at trial. None of the allegations have been proven, but authorities argued that the potential risk warranted additional safeguards.”
