The former Duke of York was confronted by a balaclava-clad man who was sitting in a car on Wednesday evening, the Telegraph reported.

The man was said to have spotted the disgraced former prince 50 yards away and then got out of his vehicle and made his way towards Andrew while shouting at him.

Norfolk Police said in a statement: “Officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm yesterday (Wednesday May 6 2026) following a report a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village.
