Penny Mordaunt has been praised for her conduct during the King’s coronation ceremony
, where she held ceremonial swords for more than an hour. The Conservative MP has also been hitting the headlines for her outfit choice at the historic ceremony.
In an interview with Politico, she said she "felt it wasn't right" to wear the customary dress - last worn by the Marquess of Salisbury at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Notable figures including a number of fellow MPs praised her, with Labour MP Emily Thornberry tweeting: “Got to say it, @PennyMordaunt looks damn fine! The sword bearer steals the show. #Coronation.”
Speaking to The Times’ Red Box Politics podcast ahead of the ceremony, she also disclosed she had been “doing some press-ups” in preparation for her sword-carrying role. The second sword was briefly clipped to the King’s coronation sword belt and then after a proclamation by the archbishop, the King stepped forward and offered up the sword.The sword was later drawn and she carried it in its “naked” form – without its scabbard – before the King for the rest of the service.
