Protection tightens for British royal family after ambush
London reports say Home Secretary Roy Jenkins is advancing tighter security for Queen Elizabeth II and her family after an attempted kidnap of Princess Anne near Buckingham Palace.

The Queen favors avoiding armored cars and public meeting restrictions, while indeterminate security measures remain confidential. Princess Anne and Capt. Mark Phillips faced bullets and a dramatic car evacuation during the attack.
