"Ramadan provides time to reflect on one’s own blessings and to give gratitude for them. One of the greatest ways of showing gratitude in Islam, I understand, is by being of service to those less fortunate in our society.
The Duke and Duchess took to social media
"The generosity of spirit and kind-hearted hospitality of Muslims does not cease to astound me and I am sure that as we enter more uncertain times, with many now struggling to cope with increasing challenges, the Muslim community will again be a source of immense charitable giving this Ramadan.
"There is much we can all learn from the spirit of Ramadan – not only the generosity, but also abstention, gratefulness and togetherness in prayer which will give great comfort to many across the world during this blessed month.

"I pray that all Muslims have a blessed Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak.
"- HRH The Prince of Wales."
Royal fans were delighted to hear from the Duke and Duchess. One commented: "Waalaikkummusalaam. Thank you, your Royal Highness. May Allah SWT bless you and our family happiness and good health."
Another fan said: "Wa alaykum salaam warahmatullaahi wabarakatuh. Thank you for the wishes." Another follower replied: "Happy Ramadan Prince."
