Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have arranged for £90,000 generated by their royal wedding being shown on TV to be donated to a charity helping those suffering due to coronavirus.
The cash will be given to Feeding Britain, which provides food to families in need across the UK, after the couple were moved when they heard about the work it's doing during the pandemic.
A spokesman for Meghan and Harry, who are now living in LA, said they were "delighted" to be able help financially - describing the charity as a "great cause".
In the lead up to their wedding in May 2018 it was agreed that any excess profits made from the broadcast would be donated to the couple's chosen charity.
They phoned the Archbishop of Canterbury, who conducted their marriage ceremony and who is president of Feeding Britain, to discuss the donation to the charity's countrywide projects.
They became aware of Feeding Britain after paying a royal visit to the Feeding Birkenhead community supermarket in Merseyside in January last year, when Meghan was pregnant.
A spokesman for the couple said: "The duke and duchess were able to speak to the archbishop recently, and were moved to hear all about the work Feeding Britain was doing to support people during Covid-19.
"They have particularly fond memories of their visit to the citizens' supermarket in Birkenhead, especially the generosity and compassion of everyone working there to help others.
"They are delighted to be able to ensure this money is donated to such a great cause."
The couple felt it was particularly fitting to be able to support the archbishop's charity after he played such an important part in their wedding day.
Andrew Forsey, national director of Feeding Britain, said: "We are incredibly grateful for such generous support which, thank God, will sustain our emergency response to coronavirus until the schools return.
"During that time, there are many tens of thousands of children who we are helping to supply with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
"We're just so grateful that the duke and duchess have contributed to that programme."
The BBC covered most of the costs of the wedding broadcast, and used money raised from transmission rights and subsequent sales.
The independent charity Feeding Britain works to eliminate hunger and its root causes from the UK.
It has warned that "schools are the first line of defence against hunger for so many children - at both breakfast and lunchtime. We cannot allow coronavirus to breach that defence".
