MPX5165524: Princess Anne and her husband Captain Mark Phillips escaped an apparent kidnap attempt in which four people were wounded. The royal couple were returning to Buckingham Palace along Pall Mall when their chauffer-driven Rolls-Royce was forced to halt by another car which blocked their route. A man appeared from a light coloured vehicle and fired six shots, all of which it is said were not directed at the royal couple, but left four people in hospital.
