Please note: Ray-Ban makes a lot of different style sunglasses with a number of frame colours and lens treatments. As such, it can be difficult to distinguish between pairs (especially when the retailers don’t include full, clear details in the product descriptions). I’ve tried to ensure this page is as accurate as possible, to ensure you can buy the same sunglasses as Kate Middleton wears.
