A British man who planned to kill Prince Charles and Prince William in order to make Prince Harry king after years of what he perceived to be abuse against the famous red-head has been convicted over the terrorist plot.

Mark Colborne, 37, had stockpiled deadly chemicals and written diary entries outlining his plot to kill the Princes.

In the diary, Colborne had written about his plan to kill Prince Charles using a silent high-powered sniper rifle.

Colborne was found guilty in court yesterday of preparing terrorist acts but cleared of charges relating to intent to use the chemicals as part of the plot.

He was arrested on June 3 last year after his family came forward with evidence of his plans they discovered in his bedroom.

Colborne’s half-brother originally searched his bedroom and found the chemicals and diary entries. The family then found further stockpiles of equipment, including dust masks, gloves and syringes.

Police praised the young man’s family in court today for coming forward with the information.

Prosecutor Annabel Darlow told the court Colborne’s notes had expressed an obvious hatred for “non-Aryans” whom he referred to as “blacks and Caucasian idiots” in his diary entries, BBC reports.

Colborne told the court he felt ‘”belittled” for being a white, ginger-haired male.

He admitted to buying the chemicals and writing the notes but said they were just angry ravings he had put on paper while no longer taking his medication for depression.
