The Queen's touching gesture to the man who saved Princess Anne’s life is revealed. Ronnie Russell prevented a kidnap attempt on Princess Anne in 1974
February 06, 2020 - 08:29 GMT Gemma Strong The Queen took steps to show her personal gratitude to the man who saved Princess Anne from a kidnap attempt in 1974. Former heavyweight boxer Ronnie Russell, who is now 72, stopped Ian Ball as he tried to take the Princess at gunpoint – and he has now revealed the grateful monarch's gesture of thanks. Ronnie recalled to the Mirror how the police visited him at his home following the incident.
Ronnie was also awarded the George Medal for bravery by the monarch, who touchingly told him:"The medal is from the Queen, but I want to thank you as Anne's mother." Sadly, he is now selling the medal due to his ill health and to provide for his future. It is expected to raise between £15,000 and £20,000 at auction next month."It was something I said I would never, ever do," he said.
