Currently in detention, he will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on 17 August.
The young man who lived in Southampton, in the south of England, had been arrested on December 25 in the morning, after having entered the castle grounds, converted in recent years into the main residence of Elizabeth II.
The 96-year-old (then 95) monarch was spending the first Christmas there since the death of her husband Philip, having given up traveling as usual to her residence in Sandringham, eastern England, for the holidays due to a resurgence of the coronavirus.
Singh Chail was admitted to a psychiatric center, but the police did not give details about his psychological state.
The Sun newspaper published images of a video allegedly released on the suspect’s Snapchat account minutes before he entered the compound.
In a distorted voice, the person spoke of exacting revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a massacre that occurred in the Indian city of Amristar on April 13, 1919, when British Indian Army soldiers machine-gunned a crowd of men, women and unarmed Sikh, Hindu and Muslim children gathered to celebrate the solar new year, also known as the “harvest festival”.
In the images, the individual is seen with a crossbow and dressed in a black hooded sweater. Behind a white mask he can be heard saying, “I’m sorry for what I’ve done and what I’m about to do. I’ll try to assassinate Queen Elizabeth.”
Attempts to break into Windsor or Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s usual residence in the heart of London, are not unusual.
The most spectacular occurred in 1982, when a 30-year-old man, Michael Fagan, managed to enter the Queen’s bedroom while she was in bed.
