Now, let’s set the scene for a moment. Imagine this: you’re rubbing shoulders with royalty. The kind of royalty that demands grace, elegance, and impeccable manners. If you’re Anna Wintour, the legendary Editor-In-Chief of Vogue, you're expected to be the picture of sophistication, right? Well, when the world’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth, makes her debut at London Fashion Week, you’d better have your etiquette game on point. But guess what? Even the best of us can stumble. And that’s exactly what happened when Anna Wintour met Her Majesty.

Let’s rewind to earlier this week when the Queen, at the remarkable age of 91, made a grand appearance at London Fashion Week. The fashion world was buzzing with excitement, but amidst all the glitz and glamour, Anna Wintour, 68, made a small but noticeable faux pas. When the Queen entered the catwalk, Anna did stand up as a sign of respect, but she left her iconic sunglasses firmly in place. Now, we’re talking about the same sunglasses that have become as synonymous with her persona as coffee is to mornings. But in the presence of the Queen, they became a topic of conversation.

Etiquette Expert Weighs In

Now, let’s bring in the expert opinion. Enter Grant Harrold, the former royal butler to Prince Charles and an etiquette guru. He had some strong words about Anna’s choice to keep her sunglasses on. “Ms. Wintour should be aware that wearing sunglasses when engaging in conversation with another person, unless there’s a medical reason, is simply unacceptable,” he told the Press Association. “She should have removed her sunglasses before even entering the presence of the Queen, let alone during a conversation.”

Grant continued, “Maintaining eye contact during a discussion is crucial, and not removing sunglasses is a major breach of manners and royal protocol. If the Queen had given her permission to keep them on, that would’ve been acceptable, but that’s highly unlikely.” Despite his sharp critique, the Queen herself seemed completely unfazed by Anna’s presence. Throughout the event, the two were seen laughing and chatting animatedly, proving that sometimes, protocol can take a backseat to a genuine connection.

The Internet Weighs In

Of course, the internet had plenty to say about this royal encounter. Social media users couldn’t resist chiming in with their thoughts. “Dame Anna Wintour, as a fashion editor, surely you must know that wearing sunglasses indoors is unnecessary, especially when seated next to the Queen,” one commenter quipped. Another user joked, “Why does Anna Wintour feel the need to wear her shades at a front-row fashion show, right next to the Queen?”

And then there was the classic running joke: “Even the Queen can’t make Anna Wintour part with her sunglasses.” It seems like the internet found humor in the situation, seeing it as a moment where two powerful figures—Queen Elizabeth, the royal queen, and Anna Wintour, the queen of fashion—shared the spotlight. And honestly, who wouldn’t bow down to both of these queens?
