The Scandalous Life of Princess Anne: The Royal Nobody Talks About

On the night of March 20, 1974, a Ford Escort blocked Princess Anne's limousine 200 yards from the gates of Buckingham Palace. The driver fired 4 shots into 4 men. He had a typed ransom note demanding 3 million pounds and a pair of handcuffs in his coat pocket. She was 23 years old, 4 months married, and she answered him with two words that became one of the most famous unrecorded sentences in modern royal history. Behind that night sat a life nobody in the family has lived since. In this video, we talk about the scandalous private life of Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, including the full sequence of the Mall kidnapping attempt, the breakdown of her marriage to Captain Mark Phillips, the New Zealand love child Phillips fathered with art teacher Heather Tonkin, the stolen Timothy Laurence love letters taken from inside Buckingham Palace, her own divorce during the Queen's annus horribilis year of 1992, the quiet remarriage in a small Scottish kirk near Balmoral, the deliberate refusal to give her children royal titles, her 500 engagements a year and 5 decades with Save the Children, and the question of why the royal who has lived through every kind of scandal is also the one the country still cannot describe.
