A group of 20 protestors chanted “Off with their heads!” and kicked the royal limo.

Where’s a bobby when you need one? The London police force is being criticized for allowing demonstrators so close to the heir to the throne Thursday during a protest against rising tuition rates in the city’s West End. Students have staged several violent demonstrations in past months to protest deep social spending cuts, and during the course of Thursday’s march Charles’s Rolls Royce somehow ended up in the middle of a crowd and unable to escape. Only a small group of protestors appeared to know who was inside the car, and kicked it, tried to smash its windows, and threw paint on it. Charles and Camilla were visibly terrified, but unharmed.
