Anne, the attempted to kidnap the royal princess claimed to be innocent.
Ian Ball, the man who tried to remove the sister of King Charles in 1974, made surprising revelations in an interview with Dailymail.
He declared at the point of sale: “I am an innocent and healthy man because I had good reasons to believe that the cannon powder had been withdrawn from the balls and that another girl had been substituted for Princess Anne.”
In particular, Ian also said that Anne’s kidnapping was supposed to be a “hoax”, saying: “The idea of proceeding to the hoax was to obtain advertising so that I could write my autobiography, and I expected to obtain £ 10,000 of fees.”
“To prove my innocence, I need to prove the existence of Frank. It will prove that I had reasons to believe that it was a whole hoax,” he added.
Speaking of the royal princess, he said, “I didn’t scare her. I was more afraid of her.”
In addition, now Ian denied Anne saying, “No blood probably” in an answer to his attempts to remove it from the car, in fact, he added: “She said:” You simply leave and no one will think about it “, which fueled the belief that I thought it was a hoax”.
“At the time, I thought she was not Princess Anne in the car. She was not like Princess Anne in any way. The personality was not like Princess Anne,” noted Ian.
It should be mentioned that Anne previously shared an interview of 1980 on the incident, recalling her refusal to move: “We had a kind of discussion on where or where we were not going to go.”
However, a passer -by named Ronnie Russell was the one who arrested Ian Ball, hitting him on the head several times.
