Prince William sparks frenzy in Brazil as he leaves fans blushing: 'A real man'

Prince William set hearts racing while on his trip to Brazil after royal fans got swept away by one key detail during one of his engagements.The Prince of Wales has been undertaking various engagements in the South American country since his arrival on Monday.

On Tuesday, he visited the Brazilian island retreat ofPaquetá, where he took a boat tour of the Guapimirim mangrove area, a preserved and protected natural beauty spot in northeast Brazil's picturesque Guanabara Bay. While there, the future King, who was dressed casually in dark trousers, a green shirt and brown combat boots, planted three saplings with the guardians and said: "I hope they grow well. Next time I come all this will all be mangroves."

However, it appears that William's efforts at the planting activity did not go unnoticed by royal fans, who gushed about his appearance and particularly his arms while working.

One user wrote on X: "Look at the veins on those arms."

Another one commented: "I love a veiny arm."

A third one said: "A real man. Lucky Catherine!"

A fourth one agreed: "He's a real man."

A fifth one opined: "William is rocking a sexy manliness these days."

A sixth one chimed: "He must be amazingly fit."

Earlier in the day, the prince greeted dozens of well-wishers waiting behind crash barriers on Panquetta.

At one point, a baby - 10-month-old Joaquim Monteiro - was pushed towards him and he joked the grandparent "mustn't drop him!" before giving him a cuddle.

Holding him with the confidence of a father of three young children, William said, "Bless him" before handing him back to his grandmother, Christina.

Andre Luis Junior, the baby's cousin and a teacher, said: "Nobody asked him - he just picked him up. It's probably because he has three kids. He loves kids."
