LONDON, ‌Dec 18 (Reuters) - The court hearing ‍for Britain's ‌Duke of Marlborough, who has been ⁠charged with ‌three counts of intentional strangulation, has been adjourned, British police said on Thursday.

Charles James ⁠Spencer-Churchill, 70, a distant relative of Winston Churchill, had been due to appear ‌at Oxford Magistrates' ⁠Court on Thursday. The new date has yet to be confirmed, Thames Valley police said.

He was arrested in May last year over the alleged offences which took place in ‍November 2022, and in January and May 2024 in Woodstock, near Oxford, in central England.

Spencer-Churchill, who is known as Jamie Blandford, is the 12th Duke of ⁠Marlborough, one of Britain's most senior aristocratic families and whose ancestral home is Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, which played host to U.S. President Donald ‌Trump in 2018.
