Court Orders Man to Stay Away from Norwegian Princess Studying in Australia
A 63-year-old man, David James Cook, has been legally prohibited from contacting Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway or her family for two years. This order was issued by a court in Sydney, Australia, where the princess is currently studying. The Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) restricts Cook from entering the Sydney University campus, searching for the princess online, or attempting any form of contact. The order was prompted by Cook sending a card to the princess, which he claims was a gesture of friendship. Following his court appearance, Cook was charged with assaulting a news photographer, resulting in minor injuries. He has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on July 17 for the assault charge. Princess Ingrid Alexandra, second in line to the Norwegian throne, has been residing on the university campus since last year to pursue a degree in international relations.
