She recalled to TV chat show host Michael Parkinson her refusal to go with the kidnapper amid the shoot-out which had left her protection officer and two others wounded,

"We had a discussion about where - or where not - we were going to go," she recalled. "I was scrupulously polite because I thought it would be silly to be too rude at that stage."

An official government report available at the National Archives reports that her actual words to the assailant had been: "Not bloody likely."



The Princess is an exemplary equestrienne, and represented Britain in the Montreal Olympics in Eventing--the toughest horse sport out there. Its covers 3 days of Dressage, Cross-Country jumping, and stadium jumping.
