Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, has been sentenced to nine years in custody after attempting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on Christmas Day 2021. Chail, armed with a loaded crossbow and wearing a Star Wars-inspired mask, scaled the castle’s perimeter using a nylon rope ladder.
The former supermarket worker, who had previously applied for various military positions to get closer to the Royal Family, told a police officer, “I am here to kill the Queen” when apprehended near the monarch’s private residence. Chail will remain in a hospital until deemed fit to be transferred to prison.
