A man detained at the late Queen Elizabeth's home at Windsor Castle with a loaded crossbow pleaded guilty in a London court on Friday to an offense under the Treason Act and threatening to kill the monarch.
Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, admitted to the crimes at London's Old Bailey court after being arrested in the castle grounds, west London, on Christmas Day 2021.
Isabel, who died in September of last year, was in the castle on the day of the intrusion with her son and now King Carlos and other close relatives.
Chail had spent months planning the attack, prosecutors said in an earlier court hearing. When he was approached by a protection agent, Chail said, "I'm here to kill the queen."
He appeared at London's Old Bailey court hearing Friday via video link dressed in a black jacket, speaking only to confirm his name and plead guilty to all three charges. Judge Jeremy Baker said he would sentence Chail on March 31.
