Jaswant Singh Chail is being prosecuted under Section 2 of the 1842 Treason Act which punishes anyone who attempts to injure or harm Her Majesty, threatens to kill, or unlawfully possesses a weapon in her presence, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Still in detention, he is due to appear on August 17 in a Westminster court. He was arrested on December 25 as the Queen was getting prepared for Christmas celebrations with her sons Charles and Andrew at Windsor Castle.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for what I did and for what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to assassinate Elizabeth, queen of the royal family," he said in a video posted on Snapchat, explaining that he was acting to "avenge those who died in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919."

Chail evoked a dark episode of the British Empire during which nearly 400 Indian demonstrators had been killed by British troops.

The suspect claimed to be "an Indian Sikh, a Sith," possibly referring to James Earl Jones, the actor who became well known as the voice of Vader in the original “Star Wars” trilogy.

"He has the right to a fair trial," said the head of the British counter-terrorism division, Nick Price.
