Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, was arrested on Christmas Day 2021, having told a police protection officer: "I am here to kill the Queen." Chail, from Southampton, admitted three charges during a hearing at the Old Bailey yesterday.
The most serious charge under Section Two of the Treason Act said that: "On December 25, 2021, at Windsor Castle, near to the person of the Queen, you did wilfully produce or have a loaded crossbow with intent to use the same to injure the person of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, or to alarm her Majesty." He was also charged with making a threat to kill the Queen and having a loaded crossbow, an offensive weapon, in a public place.
Chail, who was unemployed at the time but had previously worked for a branch of the Co-op supermarket, was spotted in the grounds of Windsor Castle at about 8.10am.
