The British royals and their sporty sunglasses: From Princess Anne’s recycled Adidas shades (which also match her daughter Zara’s) to Prince William and Prince Harry’s polo sunglasses, here’s a closer look at their stylish eyewear.

Princess Anne’s Adidas Sunglasses

Princess Anne is renowned for her practical and sporty style. One standout accessory is her Adidas sunglasses, which she has worn numerous times, most recently at the Paris Olympics. These frameless sunglasses feature red polarized lenses and the Team GB logo.

Zara Phillips, Princess Anne’s daughter, originally received a pair of these Team GB-branded sunglasses as part of her kit for the London 2012 Olympics. Princess Anne was seen wearing the same design while attending the event and has reused them on various occasions, including the Cheltenham Festival in 2015.

Prince William’s Polo Sunglasses

At a recent polo match, Prince William sported a pair of sleek black wraparound sunglasses. The keen polo player wore these shades during the Royal Charity Polo Cup in Windsor, a match held in memory of Rugby League legend Rob Burrow. Prince William has frequently worn similar sporty sunglasses in past polo matches, including one in 2017.

Prince Harry’s Athletic Shades

Prince Harry has also embraced sporty shades. In 2015, during a polo game in Cape Town, he wore a pair of distinctive black sunglasses with a quirky cut. Despite a minor fall from his polo pony, Harry emerged unscathed and continued to play.

Princess Diana’s Skiing Sunglasses

Princess Diana was always stylish, even on the slopes. During a 1991 skiing holiday in Lech, Austria, she wore dark rectangular sunglasses to protect her eyes from the snow’s glare. Her sons, William and Harry, were also outfitted with shades—Harry’s were sporty green and yellow, while William’s were a rounder design.

Prince Charles’s Skiing Shades

Prince Charles, known for his love of skiing with his sons, was seen wearing a pair of red, yellow, white, and blue framed sunglasses during a 1996 ski trip in Switzerland. His sporty eyewear contrasted with his grey ski outfit, while William and Harry chose simpler black lenses.

Prince Albert of Monaco’s Sporty Shades

In 2017, Prince Albert of Monaco wore sporty red-framed sunglasses during the Riviera Water Bike Challenge. His outfit, which included red, white, and black elements, was complemented by his sunglasses.

Princess Charlene’s Stylish Sports Glasses

Princess Charlene of Monaco is known for her elegant yet sporty fashion. In 2020, she donned a pair of large black Scicon sunglasses during the Water Bike Challenge in Monaco. These wide-framed glasses provided ample shade and matched her red sports top.

Prince Jacques’s Trendy Sunglasses

Following in his parents’ footsteps, Prince Jacques of Monaco sported a pair of trendy Oakley Youth sunglasses in 2020. The white frame with red polarized lenses was a stylish choice for the young royal at the Water Bike Challenge.

From Olympic events to charity polo matches, the royals have showcased a variety of sporty sunglasses, reflecting their active lifestyles and unique fashion preferences.
