Princess Anne's signature sunglasses are on sale for Black Friday, much to the delight of her royal admirers. 


If there's one accessory Princess Anne can't live without it, it's her signature sunglasses. 

The 72-year-old is known to wear shades at public engagements, regularly teaming a pair of protective lenses at everything from royal weddings to charity visits. In the last two months alone, Princess Anne has rocked 'snazzy sunglasses' in Uganda and co-ordinated her comfy walking boots in the Falklands with some tinted specs. She even wore sunglasses to a garden party at Buckingham Palace in July 2018, proving there's no occasion too formal to whip out some stylish shades.

Modern-style sunglasses for the most stylish. These limited-edition adidas sunglasses are made using an injected polycarbonate in a unique mould from which are cut two distinct shapes.

Rather than hop on the sunglasses trends of 2022 though, the Princess Royal seems to stick to a very particular aesthetic when it comes to shielding her peepers. She tends to favor sporty models over the more fashionable options on the market, with her trusty Adidas shades arguably being her most worn pair. The hardworking royal was photographed in the sleek sunglasses (which also had a Team GB logo!) during both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and most recently, during an appearance at Cheltenham in March 2022. 

Princess Anne also loves Oakley sunglasses, however, having previously been spotted with the heavy-duty eyewear on a trip to visit the Jockey School in Newmarket. 

Both sportswear chains have now slashed the prices of many of their bestselling pieces in celebration of Black Friday, giving royal fans an exciting window of opportunity to emulate the royal's look.
