The 19-year-old from Southampton in southern England did not enter any buildings and security processes were triggered within moments, Thames Valley Police said in a statement.
The 95-year-old monarch, who has spent much of the COVID-19 pandemic at Windsor Castle, was celebrating Christmas there with her son, Prince Charles, his wife, Camilla, and other close family.
"The man has been arrested on suspicion of breach or trespass of a protected site and possession of an offensive weapon," said Thames Valley Police Superintendent Rebecca Mears.
