Kate Middleton and Duchess Sophie's Wimbledon Ray-Bans are the stylish sunny day essential you need this summer

Kate Middleton and Sophie Wessex's Wimbledon sunglasses are the summer accessories that will never go out of style - and the timeless shades are even on sale right now. 

• Kate Middleton is an avid Wimbledon-goer and regularly rocks her classic Wayfarer Ray-Ban sunglasses as she sits courtside. 
• Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh has also been spotted relying on Ray-Bans to shield her eyes from the sun at Wimbledon, opting for the Jackie Ooh design. 
• In other royal news, Kate Middleton's blue and white polka dot dress is one of her favorites to rewear - and it's perfect with white stilettos. 

The Princess of Wales is known for having served some incredible style moments at Wimbledon over the years. From her fresh white dress with pleated tiers and shoulder-baring straps in 2011 all the way to her Princess Diana-inspired outfit with a mint green Balmain blazer for Wimbledon 2023, the future Queen Consort never fails to ace her outfits for a day at the Tennis Championships. 

And while clean whites, florals and polka dots are her go-to for Wimbledon appearances, Princess Catherine often relies on bold color blocking outfits for the iconic British sporting event too.

Despite Kate going for plenty of dress and heel combinations at Wimbledons of the past, the Princess of Wales has a trusty pair of classic sunglasses she's been photographed rocking in the royal box on various occasions - the Ray-Ban Wayferers.
