Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco was one of Oliver Goldsmith’s best clients.  I don’t’ know the exact figure, but Goldsmith designed at least a dozen sunglasses for the princess.

The attached video is a preview of the exhibit “Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess” presented by TIFF Bell Lightbox. Around the :50 mark you can catch a glimpse of a few of the originals.

The Star Grace Kelly’s royal tour opens in Toronto.
