Commenters praised the royal couple for stepping in to help the very worthy cause.
"A big thank you to the Prince and Princess of Wales for their kindness and generosity which knows no bounds God bless this lovely family," raved one X user.
"That's just a lovely thing to do in response to that desperate act. Hope officials can find out who did it to discuss why and help rectify the behavior and address the need," another commenter wrote.
"Beautiful gesture from Prince and Princess of Wales," agreed someone else.
Pecan told People that the Prince and Princess of Wales donated £3,500 to the charity, which amounts to approximately $4,260.
In addition to needing money to replace the stolen goods, the warehouse also has to cover the cost of repairs to its door and shutter, which were damaged in the robbery. At the time of this writing, no arrests had been made.
