Brenda opted to share the contents of the letter with her fellow co-hosts and those watching the ITV show at home. She became visibly emotional as she read the words that had been written.
She said: "Dear Miss Edwards, I particularly wanted to write and say how desperately sorry to hear about the tragic news of your son Jamal. I can only begin to imagine what an immense and aching gap he will leave in your life.
"My heart goes out to you more than I can ever say. I will never forget Jamal's dedication and support in helping with my Prince's Trust over the years. His commitment as an ambassador has made the most enormous difference to the trust's work and has helped to change the lives of countless young people."
Brenda, heartbreakingly continued as she wiped away tears. She said: "I have such fond memories of the times I met him and can ill afford in this country to lose someone exceptionally special as your dear son. I feel this letter can only be hopelessly inadequate under such soul destroying circumstances and will probably be no comfort of whatsoever in making your sense of anguish any easier to bare."
Fans at home cried along with her. They took to Twitter to share their sentiments.
Sandra said: "It was heart-breaking hearing @brenda_edwards read out the beautiful letter she received from #KingCharlesIII on @loosewomen." Another user said: "What a beautiful letter to @brenda_edwards from #KingCharlesIII had me in tears."
