A man who was arrested on the grounds of Windsor Castle with a loaded crossbow pleaded guilty to treason on Friday for planning to attack Queen Elizabeth II.

Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, admitted toof intending to “injure the person of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, or to alarm her Majesty.” He also pleaded guilty to making threats to kill and possessing an offensive weapon.

Chail appeared at London’s Central Criminal Court by video link from Broadmoor, a secure psychiatric hospital where he is detained. He is due to be sentenced on March 31 after the judge assesses psychiatric reports. Chail was arrested at the royal residence west of London on Dec. 25, 2021, when the queen was staying there. The monarch died in September 2022 at age 96.

Prosecutors say the former supermarket worker from the southern English city of Southampton scaled a wall with a rope ladder and entered the castle grounds, wearing a metal mask and carrying a loaded crossbow with the safety catch off.They say he told a police officer “I am here to kill the queen,” before he was handcuffed and arrested.

Police say Chail wanted revenge on the British establishment for its treatment of Indians and sent a video to a group of contacts “stating his desire to harm the late queen.”

Has he been off world

“man who was arrested in 2021 pled guilty on friday” fixed it for you AP. you brought the comments upon yourself with that title.

Hmmm... well, I guess it's time to upgrade. Slayed several giants with this bad boy.

Not the British Blick

he’s a little late

On Friday? Ummmmm….. Well congrats dude mission accomplished

You can get there England. We’re pulling for you.

A bit late

We need some of that here, w treason on the table for those who went hunting our elected leaders on Jan 6, and since then.

Why we define 'treason' narrowly in the United States:

Is he a Trump supporter? They’re usually 50-60 years behind in the current & up to date news of the day.🤷🏽‍♂️

The British, French, and United States pillage the globe then wonder why their reps are targets for the suffering. People that can't figure out how to resist because the state makes it IMPOSSIBLE with their centuries old wording of control & revenue.

Jokes on him, the Queen already died

Lord have mercy!

🚨BREAKING - US President Joe Biden is headed home for vacation in Wilmington, Delaware tonight while a CHINESE spy balloon still flies over the country.

Where do you even get a crossbow like that? I'm an American so are they behind the guns or something?

Remember, remember, the (checks notes) twenty-fifth of December

Hmm, forced Cowmilla to do that other, level up for sure, thing.

Oh, so NOT a KTM_UK Crossbow! 🤔😉😃

I thought the queen was already dead.

Talk about bad timing.

The man was guilty of trying to engage in medieval politics

UK coming after cross bows now ...even using an excuse with an already deceased queen even....🤣

🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But she's already dead

Are queens so elite they can die twice? Just curious

England hasn't gotten to see someone hanged, drawn, and quartered in a while. They must be thrilled!

People don't read anymore. It's kind of sad.

Treason = dead penalty, right.

Been going on for centuries. Not very nice the royals. They cower behind charity these days. A little bit ironic, given their nasty fucking history.

Wow, crossbows have evolved! Why was I still picturing something from Python’s Holy Grail?

He should be given a lenient sentence. It's not like he's going to do it again.

Did he get the news?

Holy shit where can I buy one of these?!

I could have done it with two well placed marbles

I thought she died....

he had nothing wrong gemaked

Resolute charges.

Was it Van Helsing

This is the most British assassination plot ever.
