Jaswant Singh Chail, 20, is charged with offence under Treason Act, possession of an offensive weapon and making threats to kill
A man who allegedly brought a crossbow to Windsor Castle last Christmas said he wanted to kill the Queen, a court has heard.
At the time of Chail’s arrest at the castle, the Queen was celebrating Christmas at the royal residence with Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. The most serious charge Chail faces under the Treason Act states: “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 the Second, or to alarm Her Majesty.”
Chail was allegedly spotted in the grounds of Windsor Castle at about 8.10am on Christmas Day last year.
