Prince Charles joked about student protests before Royal couple attacked
The Prince was attending a reception in Clarence House immediately before the journey to the Royal Variety Performance at the Palladium when he referred to the tens of thousands of students causing havoc.
He said: “Hopefully we’ll be able to brave our way through, get there and be all right.”
The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI was stopped by crowds of protesters on Regent Street and hit with a hail of missiles, including bottles and dustbins, as well as a tin of white paint, and a window was badly cracked before the Royal couple could escape.

sounds like they don't think much of the Royals anymore.
I don't think that's the case in general. Many have great affection & respect for for some of the Royals.
I understand the need to protest the tuition hikes and to surge the prices that high is insufferable to struggling youngers.
