Princess Eugenie Wore Some Statement Sunglasses to Charlie van Straubenzee's Wedding
Princess Eugenie attended Charlie van Straubenzee's wedding in Surrey this weekend, along with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The royal, known for her eccentric taste in accessories, wore a pair of eye-grabbing sunglasses to the event.

Yesterday, Charlie van Straubenzee married Daisy Jenks in a royal-studded wedding in Surrey. The event was famously attended by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (opens in new tab) (on the Duchess of Sussex's 37th birthday (opens in new tab), no less). Harry, who has been close friends (opens in new tab) with van Straubenzee since they attended Ludgrove Prep School in Berkshire together as kids, served as best man.
Harry and Meghan were by far the most famous royals (/humans) in attendance at the wedding, but they weren't the only ones. Harry cousin, Princess Eugenie of York (opens in new tab), was also there to celebrate van Straubenzee's special day and she proved she is not a one-trick pony in the eye-grabbing accessory game (opens in new tab).
Eugenie is known for her eccentric taste in hats (opens in new tab), most notably, this masterpiece that she wore to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011:
At the van Straubenzee wedding, Eugenie traded in her fascinator for a pair of intense sunglasses that are just a joy to behold. From a distance, you're like, "What are you talking about? They're just black sunglasses."
No big deal, right?
Wrong. They are amazing, which becomes apparent the moment you get close.
Eugenie, who attended the wedding with her fiancé, Jack Brooksbank (opens in new tab), wore a pair of black, round sunglasses, ringed in a white outline that makes them look weirdly (and wonderfully) science fiction-inspired:
The closer you zoom, the better they get:
No jacket? No problem. That's just less to distract from the sunglasses (which admittedly start to have a little space-age vibe if you look at them long enough).
Which accessory will Eugenie claim next? I honestly cannot wait. She is the Lord Disick of royals (but in a good way (opens in new tab), I promise).
