According to Princess Anne on the subject: She had what she called “a very irritating conversation” with her potential kidnapper. “I kept saying I didn’t want to get out of the car, and I was not going to get out of the car,” she told police. In response to one of Ball’s [the kidnapper] pleas, Princess Anne retorted, “Bloody likely.” After three officials where shot by Ball, Princess Anne reached for the door handle on the opposite side of the backseat. She opened it and pushed her body backwards out of the car. “I thought that if I was out of the car that he might move,” she said. She was right. As Ball ran around the car towards the princess, she jumped back in, shutting the door behind her. Her quick thinking gave others the chance to gain the upper hand, and Ball tried to make a run for it only to be tackled and arrested.
@@YeeHaww she was in a car with her husband, driver and a police guard. The guy drove up and cut the car off when the guard gout out the car the dude opened fire. It was later in the evening on the Mall and they said the road was almost empty.
she wouldn't have been queen if she qs the oldest because of the old rules where women can only be queen if none of the boys can. queen elizabeth was queen bc she had no brothers, just one younger sister.
@@Lookie752 yeah they changed but Princess Anne still kept her place behind all 3 brothers…it’s just to prevent any other females from going straight to the bottom so it won’t apply to Charlotte
It’s crazy how she did things like this, is an Olympian, AND is consistently the hardest working member of the royal family. She’s truly incredible. I feel we’ve been robbed to not get a Queen Anne II
I saw an interview with her where you can tell her view of the situation changed... the moment he ripped her dress and it started to come off. Her husband was sitting next to her during the interview (as he had been in the car with her) and basically said at that moment he feared less for her and himself and more for the man. When a woman has "Had Enough" it's a dangerous situation for the person who started the mess!
It seems to run in the family. Apparently when told of the kidnapping attempt, her father, Prince Philip, expressed his sympathy for the man unwise enough to get into it with Princess Anne.
I’ve actually met princess Anne whilst working an event for the queens jubilee, she’s such a sweet woman and she was very easy to talk to when she asked me questions
That man has some courage to try and kidnap to Princess and what was he even gonna do? Call the palace and ask for ransom? Don’t wanna be that person but thanks for the likes guys I forgot ab this comment
Bruh he already got no bullets in that toy gun What ya gonna do? Shoot a royal that man sure got the Royals phone number😫 oh wait he wants life sentence 😂
Rules should've been amended to make it possible for her to ascend the throne. If her mother had discussed it with her, maybe they decided it was not a good idea. Personally, I would LOVE the Princess Royal as Queen.
Well, it still wouldnt have been her as queen, as Charles is older. But the rules are since been changed, and the oldest now inherit regardless of gender. And yes, she would make an amazing queen!
After Anne was safely back in the Palace, her father said: "I would have felt very sorry for him had he succeeded in kidnapping Anne". It makes you wonder...😳
He probably thought, she was a wilting lily incapable of handling anything but a hand fan. Certainly showed both his lack of judgment and lack of preparation!
She's definitely the smartest and most regal like of Elizabeth's children. She's really impressive. She exuded strength at their mother's funeral proceedings. Definitely would make a great queen. And would have been a great queen in the past when they still actually ruled the kingdom. William will probably do a good job one day too though
William won't if he doesn't learn from his family's mistakes and make some major changes in how they treat each other. Otherwise, us in the States will keep on having wild public scandals to watch with popcorn.
@@willow3767U cant blame him for his brothers idiocy. If any1 needed to learn, its Harry, as hes done nothing but lie and smear his own family for money, provably so.
The Olympian, the military woman, the hard worker. Brave, smart, beautiful, pragmatic. Would've been something to look up to. Isn't that what they're for, after all?
She has her farthers bravery and no nonsense attitude a little bit of a temper but she also has the queens love for her country commonwealth realms and works bloody hard
At the time even if she was the oldest she would have been skipped. Queen Elizabeth change the "rules" for Willian and Kate's 1st child even though he was a boy.
She should just kick Charles behind close door// or just smack his head (if she did that already ... I really love her for doing that to remind how loathes many ppl on him for Lady Di's emotional roller coaster catastrophie). Princess Anne should just be simply be the Queen. She have what it takes, she has the gut, ahead of her time... always. Her personality is gold
If someone has you at gun point and you go with them you will definitely die never go with someone holding you at gun point you should absolutely take your chances on fleeing ik it’s different bc she was In a car but still never go with someone telling u to while holding a gun bc u will die and you could die either way but I’d take my chances zigzagging all the way tf out of there
