A ''ginger extremist'' from Southampton who fantasised about shooting Prince Charles so Harry could be king has been found guilty of plotting a terror attack ''for the Aryan people''.

Mark Colborne, 37, likened himself to Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Breivik and made notes in his diary of his plan to assassinate the royal heir with a high powered sniper rifle.

He also acquired manuals entitled Assorted Nasties, Silent Death and The Poor Man's James Bond, jurors were told.

Colborne was caught after his half brother uncovered papers detailing his racial hatred stashed in his bedroom at the family home in Butts Road, Sholing.

During the trial, it was revealed that Colborne felt he had been 'belittled by society' because he had ginger hair.

A jury could not agree a verdict after a trial earlier this year, but Colborne was found guilty following a retrial of preparing terrorist acts before his arrest on June 3 last year.

The jury deliberated for more than 14 hours to deliver its majority verdict.

While the jury found him guilty of the charge, it rejected aspects of the allegations that he possessed chemicals to make cyanide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and stockpiled paraphernalia including syringes, screw top spray and face masks.

Judge John Bevan QC adjourned sentencing to Tuesday November 3.

Colborne made no reaction in the dock as the verdict was delivered.
