Kate Middleton, Princess Diana & More Royals Wearing Sunglasses (PHOTOS)

These shades rule. (Get it?)

Today as we browsed photos of Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, abreast their next stop in their Pacific royal tour, we got a little bored when we didn't notice any furry marsupials. (This trip, after all, has brought us some super cute photo opps with baby koalas, sheep and a baby kangaroo.)

But we did spy one thing that caught our eye: Charles' sunglasses. The prince braved the heady New Zealand sun with his signature Ray-Bans and a lightweight khaki suit,

While eyeing (heh) Charles' Wayfarers, we got to thinking... what other royals have donned iconic shades?

From Fergie and Di's ultra-glam '80s sunnies to Kate and Will minding the glare in style together, check out our slideshow of the reigning crew stylishly shielding their gaze from the sun.
