A man carrying a crossbow on the Windsor Castle grounds on Christmas Day has been charged with an offence under section 2 of the Treason Act, making threats to kill and possession of an offensive weapon
A man arrested with a crossbow at Queen Elizabeth’s Windsor Castle home on Christmas Day last year has been charged with having a weapon with intent to “alarm her Majesty” under Britain’s Treason Act, police and prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Following an investigation by counter-terrorism police, he was charged with making threats to kill, possession of an offensive weapon and an offence under section 2 of the Treason Act 1842. The queen was at the castle at the time of the incident along with her son and heir Prince Charles, his wife Camilla and other close family.Security breaches at royal residences are rare. The most serious one in the queen’s reign happened in 1982, when an intruder climbed a wall to enter Buckingham Palace, her London home, and made his way to her bedroom.
