Kidnapping attempt

On 20 March 1974, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips were returning to Buckingham Palace when a car forced their Rolls-Royce to stop on Pall Mall. The driver of the Escort, Ian Ball, jumped out and began firing a pistol. Inspector James Beaton, Anne's personal protection officer, exited the car to shield her and to try to disarm Ball. Beaton's firearm, a Walther PPK, jammed, and he was shot by Ball, as was Anne's chauffeur, Alex Callender, when he tried to disarm Ball.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/20/newsid_2524000/2524489.stm|title=On This Day > 20 March > 1974: Kidnap attempt on Princess Anne|work=BBC|access-date=22 October 2008|date=20 March 1974|archive-date=17 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217193111/http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/20/newsid_2524000/2524489.stm|url-status=live}} Brian McConnell, a nearby tabloid journalist, also intervened, and was shot in the chest.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/jul/17/guardianobituaries.roygreenslade|title=Obituary: Brian McConnell|work=The Guardian|location=UK|author=Roy Greenslade|date=17 July 2004|access-date=30 April 2011|archive-date=5 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105061621/http://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/jul/17/guardianobituaries.roygreenslade|url-status=live}} Ball approached Anne's car and told her that he intended to kidnap her and hold her for ransom, the sum given by varying sources as £2 million{{cite news|title=Princess foiled 1974 kidnap plot|work=BBC|date=1 January 2005|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4139187.stm|access-date=22 October 2008|archive-date=3 January 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090103174830/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4139187.stm|url-status=live}} or £3 million, which he claimed he intended to give to the National Health Service.{{CN|date=April 2025}} Ball told Anne to get out of the car, to which she replied, "Not bloody likely!"

Eventually, Anne exited the other side of the limousine, as had her lady-in-waiting, Rowena Brassey. A passing pedestrian, a former boxer named Ron Russell, punched Ball and led Anne away from the scene. At that point, Police Constable Michael Hills happened upon the scene; he too was shot by Ball, but he had already called for police backup. Detective Constable Peter Edmonds answered, gave chase, and finally arrested Ball. Beaton, who had been Anne's sole bodyguard, later said about royal security "I had nothing… There was no back-up vehicle. The training was non-existent; but then again, [we thought] nothing was going to happen. They are highly specialised now, highly trained." Immediately after the attack the use of only a single protection officer was stopped, and the Walther PPK pistol was replaced.{{cite news|last=Low|first=Valentine|date=10 February 2020|title=Princess Anne's bodyguard relives night he was shot foiling her kidnap|url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-family/article/princess-annes-bodyguard-relives-night-he-was-shot-foiling-her-kidnap-9qdwbmg79|work=The Times|publisher=News UK|location=UK|archive-date=18 October 2022|archive-url=https://archive.today/20221018213714/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/princess-annes-bodyguard-relives-night-he-was-shot-foiling-her-kidnap-9qdwbmg79|url-status=live|url-access=subscription|access-date=19 October 2022}}

Anne has been called the royal family's "trustiest anchor" and a "beacon of good, old-fashioned public service", having carried out more than 20,000 engagements since her 18th birthday.{{cite news |title=How Princess Anne became the shining light of the beleaguered monarchy |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/07/31/princess-anne-became-shining-light-beleaguered-monarchy/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/07/31/princess-anne-became-shining-light-beleaguered-monarchy/ |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription |access-date=25 November 2020 |publisher=The Telegraph}}{{cbignore}} In her early adulthood, she was cited as a "royal renegade" for choosing to forgo titles for her children despite being the "spare to the heir".{{cite web |last1=Miller |first1=Frederica |title=Princess Anne transformation: Anne's journey from 'haughty' royal to 'national treasure' |url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1316879/princess-anne-transformation-body-language-birthday |website=Express |date=31 July 2020 |access-date=24 November 2020 |archive-date=1 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001130724/https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1316879/princess-anne-transformation-body-language-birthday |url-status=live }} The media often called the young Anne "aloof" and "haughty", giving her the nickname "her royal rudeness". She spurred controversy for telling photographers to "naff off" at the Badminton Horse Trials in 1982. Vanity Fair wrote that Anne "has a reputation for having inherited her father's famously sharp tongue and waspish wit".{{cite magazine |last1=Nicholl |first1=Katie |title=Princess Anne Opens Up About Her Lifetime as a Royal |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/04/princess-anne-opens-up-about-her-lifetime-as-a-royal |magazine=Vanity Fair |date=15 April 2020 |access-date=24 November 2020 |archive-date=18 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218065108/https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/04/princess-anne-opens-up-about-her-lifetime-as-a-royal |url-status=live }} Of her early public role, she has said: "It's not just about 'can I get a tick in the box for doing this?' No, it's about serving…It took me probably 10 years before I really felt confident enough to contribute to Save the Children's public debates because you needed to understand how it works on the ground and that needed a very wide coverage. So my early trips were really important."

Tominey wrote that Anne's public role is a "contradiction of both protocol taskmaster and occasional rule-breaker". Reportedly, Anne "insists on doing her own make-up and hair" and drives herself to engagements, having pleaded guilty to two separate speeding fines on account of being late.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1218009.stm|title=Princess Anne fined for speeding|publisher=BBC|date=13 March 2001|access-date=28 August 2021|archive-date=1 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220301180612/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1218009.stm|url-status=live}} She does not shake hands with the public during walkabouts, saying, "the theory was that you couldn't shake hands with everybody, so don't start." Members of the public have seen her "mending fences at Gatcombe" and "queuing up for the Portaloos" at her daughter's horse competitions. Her reputation is also coupled with her advocacy for causes out of the mainstream, such as Wetwheels Foundation's commitment to accessible sailing and the National Lighthouse Museum. On her 60th and 70th birthdays, the BBC and Vanity Fair both asked whether she would retire, and she denied it both times, citing her parents' example as well as her commitment to her royal duties. Anne's public personality has been described as "not suffering fools lightly" while maintaining a "still-impressive level of grace and courtesy".{{cite web |title=Hard work and horses: why Princess Anne is having a moment |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/shortcuts/2019/dec/04/princess-anne-is-having-a-moment |website=The Guardian |date=4 December 2019 |access-date=25 November 2020 |archive-date=19 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119164052/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/shortcuts/2019/dec/04/princess-anne-is-having-a-moment |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Finn |first1=Natalie |title=Inside the Unique Royal World of the Unflappable Princess Anne |url=https://www.eonline.com/news/971563/the-unflappable-princess-anne-how-the-queen-s-daughter-dealt-with-a-kidnap-attempt-divorce-diana-the-title-her-royal-rudeness |website=E!

British Vogue editor Edward Enninful has said that "Princess Anne is a true style icon and was all about sustainable fashion before the rest of us really knew what that meant". Her style has been noted for its timelessness; she relies almost solely on British fashion brands, with tweed and tailored suits as her hallmarks. She is known for recycling outfits, such as her floral-print dress worn both to the wedding of the Prince of Wales in 1981 and the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor in 2008.{{cite web |last1=Taylor |first1=Elise |title=Is Princess Anne Actually the Coolest Royal? |url=https://www.vogue.com/article/is-princess-anne-actually-the-coolest-royal |website=Vogue |date=20 October 2020 |access-date=25 November 2020 |archive-date=24 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124102336/https://www.vogue.com/article/is-princess-anne-actually-the-coolest-royal |url-status=live }} Anne is the patron of U.K. Fashion and Textile Association.{{cite web |title=Princess Anne sends message of solidarity to UK fashion firms |url=https://uk.fashionnetwork.com/news/Princess-anne-sends-message-of-solidarity-to-uk-fashion-firms,1206868.html |website=Fashion Network UK |access-date=24 November 2020 |archive-date=21 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621041514/https://uk.fashionnetwork.com/news/Princess-anne-sends-message-of-solidarity-to-uk-fashion-firms,1206868.html |url-status=live }} She has been noted for wearing "bold patterns and vibrant pops of colour".{{cite news |last1=Coleman |first1=Nancy |title='The Crown': Who Is Princess Anne? |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/18/arts/television/the-crown-princess-anne.html |access-date=24 November 2020 |work=The New York Times |date=18 November 2019 |url-access=limited |archive-date=27 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200527080010/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/18/arts/television/the-crown-princess-anne.html |url-status=live }} Her style choices often reflect her equestrian interests as well as the practicality of her fast-paced schedule.{{cite web |last1=Pike |first1=Naomi |title=ARTS & LIFESTYLE The Young Princess Anne's Most Noteworthy Royal Ensembles |url=https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/gallery/princess-anne-style |website=Vogue |date=13 November 2019 |access-date=25 November 2020 |archive-date=25 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125140627/https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/gallery/princess-anne-style |url-status=live }} In the 1970s and 1980s, she was often photographed wearing trends such as puff sleeves, cardigans, bright floral patterns, and multicoloured stripes.{{cite news |last1=Seamons |first1=Helena |title=Princess Anne at 70: a life of style – in pictures |url=https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/gallery/2020/aug/15/princess-anne-at-70-a-life-of-style-in-pictures |access-date=24 November 2020 |work=The Guardian |date=15 August 2020 |archive-date=3 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201103185818/https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/gallery/2020/aug/15/princess-anne-at-70-a-life-of-style-in-pictures |url-status=live }} Anne is also one of the few women in the royal family to wear a military uniform. According to The Guardian, she is "rarely seen without a brooch" during royal events. Her millinery styles have included jockey caps and hats of multiple colours and bold patterns. She presented the Queen Elizabeth II award for British design at London Fashion Week in 2020.
