Princess Anne is widely known as the hardest-working royal, but she also proved she has nerves of steel during a 1974 kidnapping attempt. "I kept saying I didn't want to get out of the car, and I was not going to get out of the car," Anne reportedly explained to law enforcement, according to Smithsonian Magazine. She also told police that her conversation with the attempted kidnapper was "very irritating." The suspect, Ian Ball, was arrested following the incident. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping charges and was sentenced to life in a mental health facility.
