The clip took an tear jerking turn when the 71-year-old royal – who recently receovered from COVID-19 – discussed the “tragic story” of 13-year-old Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, who died alone after contracting the deadly virus.
“I was utterly heartbroken by the tragic story of Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, a previously healthy 13-year-old boy, who passed away without the comfort of having his family by his side,” said Charles.
He continued: “Every bereavement, from whatever cause, is made even harder for families by the current restrictions on funerals.
“I can only too well understand how agonising this must be for those affected and I know their enormous sense of grief will be shared by countless others – including myself.
“Under these appallingly challenging circumstances, my wife and I can only offer you all our kindest and most special wishes and stress just how greatly the contribution of Muslims to the life of the United Kingdom is appreciated and valued.”
Charles was recently given the all-clear from health experts after spending seven days in self-isolation after contracting the virus.
“Having consulted with his doctor, The Prince of Wales is now out of self-isolation”, a Clarence House spokesperson reportedly confirmed at the time.
The royal reportedly suffered a “mild” case of the virus, while his wife Camilla tested negative.
