Prince William and Kate's heartfelt gesture after food bank raided by thieves

Prince William and Princess Kate have made a kind offer to replace all of the food stolen from a food bank by cold-hearted thieves.

St Thomas Church in Swansea, Wales was sadly raided over the weekend with all donations snatched including children's toys and bikes, the Mirror reports.

Rev Steven Bunting revealed that he had been contacted by Kensington Palace on behalf of the Prince and Princess of Wales who visited his church last year and wanted to restore all of the donations that had been taken.

Mr Bunting said: "We opened up on Monday to move our food into our church, where we give the food away and all the bags have been taken, all the existing food supplies have gone, and those other items as well - bike, children's toys from our baby charity."

The future King and wife Kate Middleton were guests at the church in September 2022 and left the church members touched by their heartfelt gesture.

Rev Bunting continued: "The response has been crazy. It's been so hard to be discouraged when we've been surrounded by so much love and generosity.

"We've had people coming in donating £5, all the way up to the local working men's club, the local schools and businesses and the Prince and Princess of Wales contacted us earlier to offer their love and support."
