Sunsmart and Stylish: The Queen Rocks Sunglasses at Palace Garden Party

As fate may have it, it seems another victim has fallen captive to the tiny sunglasses fashion trend.

She’s 92, lives in London and has a rather big thing for corgis.

You guessed it, it’s the Queen. Channelling her inner-rockstar on Thursday at a Buckingham Palace tea party, the Queen wore a stylish pair of shades accompanied by a pretty blue frock.

The style icon was also joined by her grandson, Prince William, and her granddaughter, Princess Eugenie. The garden party was an event recognising the work of hundreds of community leaders, and the royals mingled like true heroes, stopping to chat to individuals and small groups. Prince William wore a formal suit and the bride-to-be, Princess Eugenie, opted for a simple navy number by Palmer//Harding.

As it turns out, we’re not the only ones who are a big fan of the Queen. Supporters stood in crowds four-deep in the hope of catching a glimpse of Her Majesty, jostling for the best angle to snap the winning photo. Fair enough too, the sunsmart Queen is too good not to capture.
