In a Norfolk courtroom, a 39-year-old man without a fixed address has entered a plea of not guilty to charges that he threatened Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — a figure already diminished by the loss of his royal titles — near the Sandringham Estate where the former duke now quietly resides. The case touches something enduring in the human story: the vulnerability of those who have fallen from great heights, and the uncertain boundaries between obsession, grievance, and genuine menace. A July trial will attempt to draw that line.
