A man accused of carrying a crossbow on the grounds of Windsor Castle at Christmas said he was there "to kill the Queen", a court has heard.
Prosecutor Kathryn Selby told the court a protection officer, who was guarding a gate inside the grounds of Windsor Castle - in an area not usually open to the public - saw Mr Chail approach him slowly on Christmas morning. The arrest happened just hours before emotional Christmas Day message, paying tribute to her late husband Prince Philip was broadcast to the nation.Mr Chail, of Southampton, is charged under Section 2 of the 1842 Treason Act for producing a weapon near to the monarch, as well as charges of a threat to kill and possession of an offensive weapon.
The court was told he said it was in revenge against the establishment and the treatment of Indians - pointing to the 1919 massacre in Punjab.
