The royal couple were travelling to the London Palladium for the Royal Variety show when they become embroiled in the protest against tuition fee increases.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that a 34-year-old man was arrested this morning on suspicion of violent disorder and criminal damage.
They said he was detained “after attending a west London police station by prior appointment”.
