Camilla was hit by rioter through car window as protesters attack royals
London Evening Standard ^ | 12/10/10 | Ross Lydall and Justin Davenport

The Duchess of Cornwall was physically attacked through an open car window as thugs rampaged through London, the Standard can reveal today.

A rioter managed to push a stick through an open window of the limousine and jab her in the ribs. Camilla's terrifying ordeal came as a baying mob surrounded her and husband Prince Charles when they rode through central London in the vintage Rolls-Royce last night.

A police source said one of the car's rear windows was opened by mistake as tuition fee protesters moved in. The attack is the biggest royal security breach in decades and raises new questions about the protection of the couple.

The Standard can now reveal the breach was even more serious than first appeared, with thugs managing to reach deep into the car's interior.

Armed officers were seconds from drawing their weapons but the police driver managed to accelerate away from trouble. Police sources have revealed that the Duchess was “very scared” when the yob leaned into the car.

Jabbed in the ribs? It's too funny! They ought to learn from Zero about security.

I'm afraid riots like this one will only become more and more common, as the European governments become unable to support the level of entitlements their citizens have got used to. Tough luck! Learn to pay your tuition by scholarships and hard work!

Perhaps these “students,” should be housed at the zoo rather than a university. Many appear to be 40+ anarchists and other unsavory characters.

Look at how many cell phone cameras are being held by these poor downtrodden youth.

Camilla likes to keep her head out the window when they drive around.

What is funny is the entitlement zombies are attacking the tax-leeching royal family... that is kind of ironic.

Maybe those Limeys don’t think as much of the royalty as we think they do...

There is something fishy about those two driving into the riot with a window down.

These protesters are spoiled by the education welfare state, they are not exactly impoverished.

Wow. Jabbed with a stick while inside the vehicle? That means if the perp had been armed (with a real weapon ...even a sharpened stick rathet than a blunt one) he could have potentially killed her. I do not know the background details here, but I thought the royals had better protection than appears to be the case here. Particularly since Charles was there.

Stupid protestors. Don’t they know that Charles radiates peace and love for the environment and for religious tolerance for all our muzzie friends? Sheesh, what else do they want?

I read that they got separated from their entourage.

Seem to remember an incident where someone was jabbed with an umbrella as he walked down the street and then went on to die from ricin poisoning a few days later.
