Discussing how she feels the ceremony fits into modern life, Ms Mordaunt added: “I think this is really important to the country. I think the monarchy survives and persists because it adapts and it changes and it’s always relevant. And there’s always great chat before an event like this, has it gone too far one way? Has it gone too far the other way? And we always get it absolutely spot on. 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. She said she wanted "to come up with something that is modern and will give a firm nod to the heritage" of the occasion and revealed she commissioned the midi-length cape dress, which is embroidered around the collar with the fern motif of the privy council.

Asked about being around the King with a “big pointy sword”, Ms Mordaunt admitted she did feel “a terrible weight of responsibility”. 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.” 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. It symbolises royal power and being able to decide between good and evil, and the King accepting his duty and knightly virtues.Huge and heartfelt thanks to all who made this so remarkable. I’m so proud of you all and the King and Queen today.”

Its silver-gilt hilt features the form of a lion and unicorn and the wooden scabbard is covered in red velvet with silver-gilt rose, thistle and fleur-de-lis emblems. They provide stability, we saw that most profoundly last year. And they provide continuity and I think as far as how we’re known by the rest of the world, they’re a huge part of our story. To carry the 4ft sword, Mordaunt chose flat shoes decorated with bow details and wore a pair of pearl earrings. She said: “I’m very aware that our armed forces, police officers and others have been marching or standing for hours as part of the ceremony or to keep us all safe. In comparison, my job was rather easier. Although some weren't quite so sure, as one person tweeted: "What on earth is Penny Mordaunt's outfit? 'Star Wars Evil Empire High Command meets Game of Thrones comic-con?"

Labour MP Chris Bryant quipped in a tweet: “The Penny is mightier than the sword.” Following the coronation, Ms Mordaunt said said she was “honoured” to have been part of the event. Author and columnist Caitlin Moran also commented on the social media buzz around Ms Mordaunt’s role, saying: “Penny Mordaunt’s sword is the “Pippa Middleton’s Bum” of the Coronation.”
