“Carter literally uses red lipstick as a weapon, beats up a man using implements from her own kitchen, and sneaks into a secret meeting by delivering coffee to her sexist colleagues. Repeatedly, the show tells us, she is able to use men’s low expectations of her against them and come out ahead. And yet it works because the microaggressions Carter deals with are still all too realistic, and her revenge never perfect, never entirely complete.” —

The 1974 kidnapping attempt. As Princess Anne and Mark Phillips were returning to Buckingham Palace on 20 March 1974, from a charity event on Pall Mall, their limousine was forced to stop by a Ford Escort. The driver of the Escort, Ian Ball, jumped out and began firing a gun and shot multiple people. Ball then directed Anne to get out of the car, to which she replied: “Not bloody likely!”, and briefly considered hitting Ball. Eventually, she exited out of the other side of the limousine and another passing pedestrian, Ron Russell, punched Ball in the back of the head and then led Anne away from the scene.
