Britain's Queen Elizabeth II faced a potential assassination threat 40 years ago, ahead of a trip to the United States, according to newly released documents from the FBI.
A cache of 103 pages was posted to the FBI's online records site, The Vault, on Tuesday. The files cover preparations for several trips the late Queen made to the U.S., including an official tour of the West Coast with her husband, Prince Philip, in 1983.
The same document notes that "it is the intention of the Secret Service to close the walkways on the Golden Gate Bridge when the yacht nears." There's no mention of any precautions that may have been taken at the national park nor do the files reveal whether any arrests were made. Ahead of a private visit to Kentucky in 1989, one document notes that while the FBI was unaware of any specific threats to the Queen, "the possibility of threats against the British monarchy is everpresent from the Irish Republican Army."
