The remarkable story about Princess Anne’s brush with death.
On the 20th March 1974 Ian Ball enacted his plan to carry out one of the most high-profile crimes in British history, to kidnap Princess Anne. The ransom for her life - £3million in used £5 notes. A Tarantino-esque bloody shootout unfolded on The Mall, as Ball faced off seven men before capture, and indefinite sentence in Broadmoor high-security hospital for the criminally insane.
