Really, England? We’d have thought that all the hoopla around Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s engagement would’ve made the whole country feel gooey and mushy and generally non-violent. Clearly, not the case, because someone or the other is always going to be pissed off at the monarchy.

The latest target of the anger-angst were Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, riding in their Rolls Royce on their way to the Royal Variety Performance in London. Annoyed by a bill that just increased tuition fees, student protesters chucked white paint, bottles and bins at the car while Camilla and Charles were in it! We haven’t brushed up on our British Royalty 101 lessons, but aren’t they supposed to travel with a cavalcade and bodyguards and the like? What the hell were they doing? Why didn’t James Bond-esque agents jump in and sort it out? Scotland Yard? MI6? You listening?

An apparent eye witness commented, “They were whisked inside as soon as they arrived. All security were on hand to protect them as they entered the theatre. Charles kept a hand on Camilla’s back and she looked very unsettled by what had just happened.” Uh, no s— Sherlock.
