Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles Wore This Rare Accessory at the Royal Cornwall Show

While this isn't the first time we've seen this pair wearing sunglasses, it's rare to see a British royal put on shades, especially at a public event.

In the case of Queen Elizabeth II, this is especially rare, and as USA Today has pointed out, Her Royal Majesty previously explained why she rarely dons sunglasses, saying, “I have to be seen to be believed.”

However, even the queen has to wear shades sometimes, like back in 2018, when she had minor eye surgery to treat a cataract and was then spotted at a number of events wearing sunglasses.

We certainly can't blame the royals for needing a little bit of extra protection. However, it's also important to point out that traditionally, it is considered a sign of etiquette to take off your sunglasses when meeting the queen so that you can make eye contact.

We'll be keeping a look out for more shade-y looks (sorry, we had to) from the royals.
