Prince William has now received his first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine and it really begs the question: Who on earth knew he was hiding those bulging biceps?

While getting your coronavirus jab may seem a pretty mundane activity amid the ongoing vaccine rollout, Prince William's Covid shot has had social media gushing over his "guns".

The 38-year-old Duke of Cambridge received his first dose on Tuesday morning and an image documenting the moment was posted on his and the Duchess of Cambridge's official Twitter page.

The snap was accompanied by the caption: "On Tuesday, I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. To all those working on the vaccine rollout - thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do."

In the photo, a masked William, who is wearing a blue sweater over a shirt, bares his right arm in preparation for the vaccine.

Many of those who took to Twitter to respond to the image, commented on how unexpectedly toned his arms were.

One person said: "With all due respect to DoC... But. Daaaaaamn those royal guns," with another adding: "Sun's out. Guns out. That bicep. OMG!"

A third commented: "Prince William has been hiding those guns," with a different fan speculating: "Definitely did some bicep curls in preparation for this pic."

Yet another Twitter user gushed: "Prince William got his first vaccine! But can I talk about, how sexy his one arm [is]!!"

One fan raved: "OMG check out the guns on Prince William. Lucky Kate!"

While a final person commented: "I see Will works out."

Prince William was vaccinated at the Science Museum vaccination center in Kensington, London. It comes after the rollout in the UK was expanded to people in their 30s last week.

Kensington Palace's tweet documenting the inoculation did not reveal which vaccine the Duke received.

However, in England, people under 40 are being offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine where possible due to rare cases of a blood clot that may be linked to it.
