'A car containing Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, was attacked when a wave of protest swept through central London in the wake of a Commons vote to force through a trebling of university tuition fees for students in England. Protesters cracked windows and threw paint on their Rolls-Royce after it became separated from its police escort and was surrounded by demonstrators who had spilled into the West End after an initially peaceful demonstration outside parliament rapidly deteriorated and spread. The royal couple had looked visibly shaken when they arrived at the London Palladium for the Royal Variety performance, but Camilla later joked about the incident, saying: 'First time for everything' as she left the theater.'
