"Important lessons have been learned" after the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were caught up in the fees protests, the home secretary has said.
Police should look beyond the available intelligence and take a broader view of potential threats, Theresa May said.
Their car was attacked by protesters and "contact" was made with the duchess in London's West End on 9 December.
Protection had to continue to take into account the Royal Family's desire to be seen by the public, the report said.
"The most significant area of learning from the incident is the need to look beyond the available intelligence to take a broader view of threats that can reasonably be anticipated in the circumstances, and to adapt plans accordingly," Mrs May said.
While "important lessons have been learned from this shocking incident" she said the findings must be seen in the context of the provision of protection for the Royal Family that has an "enviable record over many years".
She added: "Such protection always has to take into account the Royal Family's desire to be seen by and to be close to the public."
'Enormous restraint' The violence on 10 December came on the day MPs voted to allow university tuition fees to rise to up to £9,000 per year in England.
Several protesters launched an attack on the Royal couple's Rolls-Royce. It was kicked, splashed with paint and a window was cracked to chants of "off with their heads".
Last month Scotland Yard has said no officers will face disciplinary action over the incident following a review.
There had been suggestions that royal protection officers ignored advice to avoid Regent Street.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson praised officers for their "enormous restraint" during the incident, suggesting those responsible for the damage to the car were lucky not to be shot.
Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the violence and Scotland Yard said it had launched a "major criminal investigation" into student disorder between 10 November and 10 December.
