The royals’ car attacked by a mob

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla were on their way to the Royal Variety Performance when a group of mobs attacked their car. They were caught in the students’ protest as they drove down the Regent Street in London. The attack left a smashed window and splashed paint on the car, raising questions about the level of royal security.   

The police have launched a criminal investigation and said there could be more arrests as the investigation progresses. It was confirmed that armed royal protection officers had been guarding the royal couple when the incident took place.

“It was a very regrettable incident, but in the end let’s remember that this was not the fault of the police. This was the fault of the people who tried to smash up that car.” said David Cameron, the British Prime Minister.   

The student demonstration turned violent across the capital after MP’s voted to raise tuition fees up to £9000, almost tripling the previous amount for fees. Violence intensified when news about the vote in favour of increasing university fees spread among the student protesters.
