This is the rough part of the royal gig.

Prince William and Kate Middleton today visited the epicenter of last week's deadly U.K. riots, meeting in private with the families of three Birmingham men who were killed protecting their homes and shops from looters. The men were buried on Thursday in a funeral attended by some 20,000.

The dynamic duo also spent time touring the area and mingling with locals and emergeny responders at the Summerfield Community Centre.

Yesterday, Prince Harry was dispatched to Manchester to meet with riot victims and salute emergency personnel there.
