The heir to the throne’s chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce was surrounded by a masked mob who smashed a rear window, splattered it with paint and tried to overturn it as the couple travelled to the Royal Variety Performance in London’s West End.
Camilla was reportedly so afraid she was reduced to tears and was seen grabbing Charles’ hand inside the armored vehicle.
Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the attack as "shocking and regrettable" and said the protesters would "face the full force of the law".
A Clarence House spokesperson confirmed Charles, 62, and Camilla, 63, had been caught up in the violence – but arrived at the theatre unharmed.
The royal couple were later seen smiling as they were greeted by a string of acts who were set to perform at the Palladium Theatre last night including Kylie Minogue, N-Dubz and Take That.
Camilla even joked about the incident as she left, saying "First time for everything."
Over 20,000 protesters had made their way to the capital to make a stand against MPs voting to almost triple tuition fees to £9,000 and the riots left 55 people - including 12 police officers - injured.
