If someone killed the queen...

i'm sure i heard somewhere that there was still the death penalty for high treason and piracy or somet? help me out here cos i'm confused.

After abolition of the death penalty for murder, die-hards began a tradition requiring the Commons to hold a free vote on a motion during each Parliament proposing the restoration of capital punishment. This motion was always defeated. However, the death penalty still survived for other crimes:

1. causing a fire or explosion in a naval dockyard, ship, magazine or warehouse (until 1971);
2. espionage[9] (until 1981);
3. piracy with violence (until 1998),
4. treason (until 1998), and
5. certain purely military offences under the jurisdiction of the armed forces, such as mutiny[10] (until 1998). Prior to its complete abolition in 1998, it was available for six offences: 1) serious misconduct in action, 2) assisting the enemy, 3) obstructing operations, 4) giving false air signals, 5) mutiny or incitement to mutiny, and 6) failure to suppress a mutiny with intent to assist the enemy.

I guess not anymore.

I'm sure if you shot the Queen or any member of the royal family, their security guards would have a bullet in your head.

pretty much, yeh.

They won't get the brutal, uncivilised death penalty. That was abolished and the treason death penalty was abolished soon after. A life sentence would probably be the answer, and an actual life sentence, not this 10/12 year life sentence for murder.
