Chail was found by a royal protection police officer in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas morning 2021.

He was carrying a loaded crossbow and was wearing a sinister-looking face mask.
Chail had climbed into the grounds using a nylon rope ladder and had already been there for about two hours when he was found at around 08:10, the court heard previously.

The officer, who was posted at a gate leading to the Royal Family’s private apartments, took out his Taser and asked: “Morning, can I help, mate?”

Chail replied: “I am here to kill the Queen.”

The protection officer immediately told Chail to drop the crossbow, get on his knees and put his hands on his head.

He complied and then said again: “I am here to kill the Queen.”
