Charles visited a Jewish Care charity centre to meet with victims Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Ben Baila, 76, also known as Norman Shine, along with Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.
After speaking to the King, Mr Shine, who was stabbed in the neck outside a bus stop during the attack, spoke about the “genuine warmth” he had felt from the King.

A passenger from the final group to be evacuated from the MV Hondius makes a heart from a bus on the way to the airport in the Granadilla Port on Monday in Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands, Spain.
Three people have died after an outbreak of Hantavirus on board the MV Hondius, which was travelling from Argentina to Cape Verde.

Demi Moore, Jury member of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, poses on the red carpet during arrivals for the screening of the film "Fatherland" in Cannes, France.
The 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week, with the word's biggest film stars descending on the French Riviera to celebrate cinema for 12 days straight.
Demi Moore, looking stunning in a sculptural red Gucci gown, took her moment on the red carpet to urge the film industry to find ways to work with and protect itself from artificial intelligence, instead of fighting a losing battle against it.
"AI is here. And so to fight it is to, in a sense, to fight something that is a battle that we will lose. So to find ways in which we can work with it is a more valuable path to take," said Moore.
Wes Streeting leaves Number 10 Downing Street after meeting with the Prime Minister on Wednesday.
Following a fleeting 16 minute pow-wow with the Prime Minister at No 10, Mr Streeting this week resigned from his post as Health Secretary in a dramatic departure - suggesting he will soon challenge Sir Keir Starmer for the leadership.
In a letter to Sir Keir, Mr Streeting said on Thursday he had "lost confidence" in the PM's leadership and that remaining in post would be "dishonourable and unprincipled".
Not to be outdone, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham looks as though he's also preparing to throw his hat into the ring of a potential leadership contest.
Burnham declared he would seek permission from Labour’s national executive committee (NEC) to stand in the Makerfield by-election after the current MP, Josh Simons, announced on Thursday he would quit Parliament to make way for the mayor.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping stand together as they tour the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
"You're a great leader, sometimes people don’t like me saying it, but I say it anyway," Trump told Xi after the Chinese leader treated him to a grand reception, featuring an honour guard and throngs of children excitedly waving flags, as part of the U.S President's two day visit to Beijing this week.
The meeting between the two nations comes amid a time of heightened global tensions over the Ukraine and Iran wars, especially as China is close to Iran and the main buyer of its oil.
Xi did not comment on his discussions with Trump about Iran, although China's foreign ministry issued a blunt statement outlining Beijing's frustration with the Iran war.
"This conflict, which should never have happened, has no reason to continue," the ministry said.
