In a chilling video shared with friends, a man threatened to kill Queen Elizabeth.
In the video, the man wore a mask and held a crossbow, threatening to “assassinate the Queen.”
The figure in the video clip is wearing a white mask, holding a shiny black weapon, and speaking to the camera in a distorted voice while wearing a hoodie.
He states: “I apologize. I apologize for what I’ve done and what I intend to do. I intend to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.”
He continues: “This is retaliation for the deaths in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
“It is also a form of retaliation for those who have been killed, humiliated, or discriminated against because of their race.
“I’m an Indian Sikh, a Sith. My name was Jaswant Singh Chail, my name is Darth Jones.”
Jaswant Singh Chail, 19, is thought to be the man in the mask.
The video was sent to friends via Chail’s Snapchat account 24 minutes before he was apprehended by armed officers on Christmas Day morning.
On Christmas Day, armed police detained him at Windsor Castle.
He has been sectioned in accordance with the Mental Health Act.
He was inside the castle grounds, 500 meters from the Queen’s private apartments.
Chail, also known as Jas, was apprehended after scaling a spiked fence with a rope ladder while allegedly armed with a crossbow.
The video, which featured a framed picture of obscure Star Wars bad guy Darth Malgus on a wall behind the masked man, was being investigated by police.
The suspect also stated that he did not expect to survive the Queen’s attack.
“I’m sorry to all of those who I have wronged or lied to,” the teen wrote in a Snapchat message sent alongside the video.
“If you have received this, my death is imminent.” Please forward this to whoever you think might be interested, and if possible, get it to the news.”
The pre-recorded video was posted on Christmas Day at 8:06 a.m.
Armed cops apprehended the 19-year-old intruder at 8.30 a.m. after he triggered alarms and was seen on CCTV.
According to reports, the Met has taken on the investigation because the suspect was apprehended within the grounds, as well as due to the serious nature of the break-in.
The teenager was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after doctors deemed him unfit to face charges in connection with the break-in.
The Queen, who was having breakfast at the time, was informed of the break-in, as were other members of the Royal Family who were present at the Castle.
