From Meghan's affordable specs to the sunnies that the entire royal family agrees on.
No single accessory has the power to add instant panache to an outfit quite like sunglasses, so it's only natural that members of the royal family are experts on choosing just the right sunnies to perfectly blend classic elegance and a cool factor. Whether it's the understated modern styles Meghan Markle returns to again and again, Kate Middleton's timeless favorites, Princess Anne's fashionista must-haves, or the iconic brand that practically every royal in the family owns a pair from, these are the sunglasses you need to add to your shopping list if you really want to dress like royalty.

SHOP NOW Ray-Ban Wayfarer II, $178
If there's one brand the royals can agree on, it's Ray-Ban. Kate's a devotee to the Wayfarer II style, but she's also been seen in the original Wayfarers and the Youngster styles as well over the years.
Of course Kate isn't the only royal Ran-Ban aficionado: Princess Diana, Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall have all sported them over the years.
SHOP NOW Finlay London Percy Sunglasses, $225
Meghan may have been the first royal to make waves in this British brand's shades back in 2017, before she and Harry announced they were engaged, but Finlay London has since become a favorite of multiple royals (and royal-adjacent people). Kate Middleton recently wore a pair of their Henrietta style at Wimbledon. Her sister, Pippa Middleton, and Zara Tindall are also fans, and Jack Brooksbank reportedly opted for a pair (minus the tinted lenses) to watch Princess Eugenie walk down the aisle.
Princess Anne has long earned her status as a sunglasses influencer with esoteric pairings, like this duo of sporty Adidas sunnies with a cream coat, pearls, and a brooch that she selected for an appearance at the 2018 Chelsea Flower Show.
SHOP NOW Le Specs Air Heart sunglasses, $42
Shortly before the birth of baby Archie, Meghan was spotted in these shockingly affordable Le Specs on an NYC trip for her baby shower.

SHOP SIMILAR Mr. Boho Jordaan Sunglasses, $85
These whimsical Jordaan frames by Mr. Boho have been a favorite of Princess Eugenie's for years. While her go-to colorway appears to be discontinued, the brand makes a variety of options in the shape she can't get enough of.
The Duchess of Sussex has been a big supporter of this sunglasses brand for a while now; she's been seen donning multiple styles from them over the years, including this pair that she wore to the 2018 Wimbledon tennis tournament with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, and the Palm Beach style she wore to the Invictus Games that same year.
In case that wasn't inspiration enough, Zara Tindall has also added Illesteva looks to her collection. She most recently wore her beloved tortoiseshell pair at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant and Royal Ascot.
SHOP SIMILAR Persol PO3164S, $183.50
Prince Harry has shown off in these Italian sunglasses on several occasions, and he's not alone. His father, Prince Charles, is also said to favor the brand.
Her Majesty isn't often seen in sunnies, but since her cataract surgery in 2018, they've become a more common part of her routine. The Queen is rumored to have worn Silhouette's glasses for years with transitional lenses so she doesn't have to swap them out when she's outdoors.
SHOP NOW Newman Aviator Sunglasses, $1040
The Duchess of Sussex is also a fan of Linda Farrow. She wore a gold-rimmed aviator pair to the Invictus Games in April.
