We consider the distance between a fixed Hermitian operator B and the unitary orbit of another Hermitian operator A and show that in each Schatten p-class, 1<p<∞, critical points of this distance function are at operators commuting with B. As a consequence we obtain a perturbation bound for the eigenvalues of Hermitian operators in these Schatten classes.
