We all remember the swooning, gushing and drooling over Prince William, who quite literally resembled a handsome Prince Charming, in his heyday.

The young Prince regularly had royal fans in a frenzy with his mop of messy blonde hair, strong jawline and rotation of well-fitting polo sweaters.

Naturally, as time as passed and Wills eased into fatherhood, we’ve all settled down a little.

That was, until, a new photo of the Duke of Cambridge was released in recent days, surprising royal fans everywhere.

The subject matter of the photo in question is far from what you’d expect would have fans swooning once more, but upon inspection you’ll quickly understand why.

The image shared by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Instagram page, shows Wills getting his COVID-19 vaccine.

While education and advocation of the vaccine is vitally important, it’s the Prince’s rarely exposed bicep that has sent the internet into a collective blush.

Peep the best reactions, below.

Who knew military garb and fancy suits were stealing this glory from us all along? We request a new royal attire of tank tops only moving forward.
