A 39-year-old man pleaded not guilty in court to charges of threatening Prince Andrew near the Duke of York's residence on the royal family's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

The defendant appeared in court to enter his plea regarding the alleged threats made against the former prince near his home on the royal estate. Prince Andrew relocated to the property following various controversies that led to his withdrawal from public duties.

The Sandringham estate in Norfolk serves as a private residence for members of the royal family and has been the site of the Queen's traditional Christmas celebrations. Prince Andrew's move to the estate represents a significant change in his living arrangements amid ongoing public scrutiny.

Details about the specific nature of the alleged threats or the circumstances surrounding the incident were not disclosed during the court proceedings. The case will proceed through the legal system following the not guilty plea entered by the defendant.
