SUMMERS THREATENED BY ROYAL BODYGUARDS
Guitarist ANDY SUMMERS was once threatened by royal bodyguards after drunkenly dancing with PRINCESS ANNE on a ferryboat in 1975.
The POLICE star, who was then playing with the KEVIN AYERS BAND, was travelling from Germany to England when he met and flirted with the British royal.
But Summers recalls in his autobiography ONE TRAIN LATER: "A thuggish-looking and oversized military type appears at our side with the advice to get off the dance floor pronto if we know what is good for us." Once he returned to the deck, his pals took drastic measures to help Summers sober up.
He writes, "Bevied (drunk) to the eyeballs, they somehow manage to pull me out from behind the life jackets and dangle me by the ankles over the rail, where I stare glassy-eyed and giggling down at the black and icy waters 50 feet below."
