The temperatures are rising, the sun is shining, and now we can’t leave the house without a chic pair of sunglasses. From aviators to wayfarers to vintage-inspired frames, there are endless styles to choose from. One brand stands out in the royal world as the must-have sunglasses for the London season’s polo events and tennis matches. Finlay, the London-based independent British eyewear brand, has cemented itself as the royally-approved sunglass shop.
From royal-adjacent Pippa Middleton and Harriet Sperling, to Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, it seems every woman—and even the men, as Prince William has a pair—in the Royal Family’s circle is obsessed with these sunglasses. The brand has seen its fair share of Kate Effect and Meghan Effect moments, with sales and brand recognition skyrocketing every time a royal woman wears their styles.
