Battle of the Biceps: Prince William, Princess Kate & More Impressive Muscles

Miley Cyrus sent fans into a frenzy earlier this year with her Grammy Awards performance. Her spine-tingling vocals, striking bouffant hairdo, and sparkling Maison Margiela chainmail dress received massive applause. However, it was her chiselled arms that truly made the audience swoon.

Cyrus isn’t the first celebrity to garner attention for impressive biceps. In 2021, Prince William caused a stir on the internet after uploading a snapshot of his toned biceps while receiving his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Over the years, several royals have also left a lasting impression with their athletic arms.

Here’s a look at some royals showcasing their toned physiques.
