The police in Great Britain are examining a video published by the tabloid newspaper "The Sun" in which a person threatens the murder of Queen Elizabeth II.

It is said to be the man who was arrested armed on Christmas Day on the grounds of the Queen's residence at Windsor Castle.

Buckingham Palace did not want to comment on the incident.

On Saturday morning, a 19-year-old was armed with a crossbow and climbed over the wall of the property west of London using a rope ladder.

He was caught shortly thereafter and has been under medical supervision ever since.

Allegedly revenge for the Amritsar massacre

In the clip, which the 19-year-old is said to have sent to friends shortly before the incident, a masked man is handling a crossbow.

It is unclear whether this is actually the suspect.

"I am sorry.

I'm sorry for what I did and what I'm going to do, ”the figure says in a distorted voice.

"I'll try to murder Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal Family."

It was revenge for the Amritsar massacre in 1919. At that time, British troops opened fire on demonstrators in the Indian city of Amritsar, and hundreds were killed.

India used to be a British colony.

Despite the incident, heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife Duchess Camilla and the youngest Queen's son Prince Edward attended a service on Christmas Day with his wife Princess Sophie and their two children on the grounds of the residence.
