He managed to remain on the castle&#8217;s sprawling grounds for two hours before police caught him. Queen Elizabeth was inside the royal residence with her family at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chail pleaded guilty in February to a crime under a 19th century British anti-treason law, as well as to threatening to kill the queen and possessing an illegal weapon. He has been held at a psychiatric hospital since his arrest and his mental health is to be factored into his sentencing, on the court&#8217;s orders.<\/p>\n<p>Police said his powerful crossbow, which they found loaded with a bolt and the safety off, could have been lethal.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/remembering-the-life-and-legacy-of-queen-elizabeth-ii\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Remembering the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">07:21<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Chail appeared in a London court Wednesday for the start of his two-day sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecuting attorney Alison Morgan told the court that Chail, who was born in the U.K. but is of Indian Sikh heritage, became angered by a historic massacre perpetrated by the British Army in the Indian city of Amritsar after a visit there in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In addition to that fixation with a real historic event, the defendant demonstrated a wider ideology focused on destroying old empires, spilling over into fictional events such as Star Wars,&#8221; Morgan said. &#8220;The defendant&#8217;s key motive was to create a new empire by destroying the remnants of the British Empire in the U.K., and the focal point of that became removal of the figurehead of the royal family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/uks-windsor-castle-gardens-temporarily-open-to-the-public\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">U.K.&#8217;s Windsor Castle gardens temporarily open to the public<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">02:57<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A video clip recorded by Chail just days before he breached the castle grounds was played in court, showing him in black clothes and wearing a full face covering.
