A no-fly zone is being imposed around Britain’s Windsor Castle as a security measure to protect Queen Elizabeth.
The order, which is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 27, would ban any aircraft or drone from being within a 2,500-foot altitude over the castle.
Flying within a little over one mile of the castle walls will also be banned, according to The Sun.
The catalyst for the security step was an intruder carrying a crossbow, who managed to enter the castle grounds on Christmas day before being hustled away by police.
That man was arrested under Britain’s mental health laws.
Prior to that, a video threatening the queen had been posted to social media.
On Christmas, the so-called “kill the queen” video said she should die in revenge for a 1919 massacre of Indian civilians.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I’ve done and what I will do. I will attempt to assassinate Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal family. This is revenge for those who have died in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre,”
