I agree! She seemed solemn & serious on the day which was very appropriate - her outfit was very tasteful & perfect. I agree about her stealing the show - i thought she had a very hard job & she did it flawlessly! 👍🏻👏🏻
"Less is more" to the point that Penny Mordaunt absolutely stood out, not only by her far less pompous but very elegant and tasteful dress but more so by her impressive performance. Standing still for quite some time and holding those heavy ceremonial swords, she basically did a guard soldier's job while wearing heels. Well done!
I also admired her quiet dignity and flawless execution of an important duty. Her hair was the color of the golden braid on her outfit. 100 years from now someone will praise her performance.
Holding a heavy is one thing. Standing for a long is another. Holding a heavy thing, standing for a long time while on stilettos and looking fine is definitely on a whole different level. 👏👏👏
One must pay full respects to Penny, she was flawless, steadfast and so professional. She didn’t fidget or look around or, like some there, think this was all about her, she stood absolutely still only looking at the King and played her part with utmost humility. She needs to replace Sunak ASAP. I will never vote Tory again. I may however, vote for Penny if she was PM.
Couldn't agree more with all of your sentiments. She is a unique and appealing person in many ways and seems to give everything she is asked to do, a level of commitment that others would do well to try and emulate. Who knows what sort of PM she would have made? I would say, a very good one.
@@tasercs She will have to do a lot of sword holding to get to the PM position. Liz Truss could teach her a few tricks of polishing multiple swords in one go.

Penny Mordaunt was the exceptional stand-out - along with Princess Charlotte - at the King's coronation with her elegant poise & unflinching stamina holding that sword for the majority of the proceedings. She looked absolutely beautiful in that very well-suited outfit & glittery silver shoes. What an amazing role model Penny is & a perfect Lord President of the Council.
Penny stood out as because she is a woman in a ceremony traditionally populated by men. She performed the honor impeccably, prepared and respectful. She trained to be able to physically perform the task. Her discipline, her dressing in a way to show reverence for the responsibility are lessons for how to approach life.
Is not about a man or woman at all It is about having the right person doing the job important to the nation and specially understanding what they stand for at such a high level of office. Not sure we know any of these about her suddenly rise to the rank with no required backgrounds and out of incompetenecies of others and kept on the position because of behind the screen deal with Sunak. Otherwise she would have gone right after when previous prime minister. Not cretising her doing that job but questioning if she should be there in the first place.
@@mahmadi2473 Penny Mourdant was previously Secretary of State for Defence, which ranks higher than Lord President of the Council. You don't know what you're talking about. Please don't comment on issues you know nothing about.

Impeccable performance to hold those swords so steady at that angle for so long Brava! The outfit colour, choice of motif & Tudor like headband…perfect.
I do not know you but for some reason, I love you and admire you. I personally feel that God prepared her for such moments than the PM role. God bless you Penny
The Sword of Temporal Justice signifies the monarch's role as Head of the Armed Forces, the Sword of Spiritual Justice symbolises the King as Defender of the Faith, and the Sword of Mercy, also known as the Curtana, has a blunted tip to symbolise the sovereign's mercy.
Penny was wonderful at the Queen's funeral and she was wonderful today at the coronation. I did not support her when she wanted to be Prime Minister but she is really good at this ceremonial stuff. She has been right there in this year of history.
Penny was brilliant today. So pleased she is President of the Privy Council, thoroughly appropriate given her choices and dedication, particularly in recent years. Importantly a woman who is exceedingly deserving of this role, not a quota filler. I hope she is upholds the freedom or the UK people and advises the King of the excesses of the UK Parliament, MPs, and the Courts.
Very elegant, beautifully dressed, very central, proving a woman can carry off a predominantly male role. Stunning, controlled, with a visible dignity and respect for her role. Pretty damned gorgeous too. Sorry.🥰
"proving a woman can carry off a predominantly male role" Er ... I think Queen Elizabeth I proved that four hundred years ago, not to mention Queen Victoria, and many other queens in other countries.
If Penny had been PM and done 1% as well as she did at the Coronation, this country would be in safe hands. The professionalism and dignity she showed was amazing. To stand out amongst all of the dignitaries present in the Abbey is quite a feat but she did. She was often leading proceedings it seemed... a totally daunting prospect for most but handled in a way that never made me feel nervous for her at any moment. Looking a bit like Anne Boleyn and being near a sword for an hour, may have made her nervous though... It was no coincidence that so many contributors to news programmes have commented on Penny being their stand out moment of the day. How proud she must be - and justifiably.
Well said. BTW the King and Penny Mordaunt talk almost every day. Her Privy Council is his interface (along with the PM) with parliament, and with civil society and the Commonwealth. She probably had input into all of the coronation planning, and he would have signed off on (and practiced with) her entire routine.
If those are the criteria for becoming Prime Minister no wonder we ended up with Johnson and Truss. Will the Tory Party ever be capable of learning ??? When Penny Maurdent was a candidate in the last leadership I can't remember her saying anything of consequence, not impressive in that area , but I agree she did come over very well in other respects at the Coronation.
I am a socialist and republican but in terms of the historic moment she carried out the role with aplomb. Very accomplished in a ceremony that was historic regardless of differing views on monarchy and politics. Credit where it is due.
I was very skeptical about this but it turned out pretty good. It helped a LOT that she isn't skin an bones. She's a beautiful, proper WOMAN and the sight of her holding that BIG sword really tied it all together so well. And i think this role is well suited for a woman. I mean, Athena,the Valkyries,Lady Justice,the "Motherland Calls" statue....all women wielding swords. Such an impressive image.
Im not a right wing tory or sympathise with her politics but from the perspective of an old man she looked f*****g hot. She could of been the lady of the lake presenting Excalibur
She has all the attributes. Good Luck Penny. But will not need that sword because MP's may not speak from the floor of the House between the red lines ...drawn two sword-lengths apart. hence "toeing the line"...and "crossing the red line"
"I've been doing some press-ups" - Pretty sure that's an understatement. 😄 In scabbard, the jewelled sword weighs around eight pounds. As professionally effortless as she made it look, she's clearly not been skipping arms and shoulders day at the gym.
These people fail to represent the nation or its sovereignty, but their own political interests. That said on the day Penny was dignified and elegant and as always, well spoken exampled by this interview.
"These people fail to represent the nation or its sovereignty, but their own political interests. " I dont think you understand her role - she represents the king' interests on a number of fronts, and they probably talk every day. (Okay, she should have said this here!)
Carrying like an upside down cross...wait a minute !!!....also, .another " whaaaaat!!! " moment ..is that, from the time of the queens funeral to the coronation was exactly 6 months, 6 weeks ans 6 days....hmmm...
The Coronation was very memorable. I think all participants should have somber expressions at a Coronation. [ my opinion ] ___ Penney is right up there with Queen Elizabeth the Second as far as giving the impression that she takes her job very seriously. Thank you!
Penny was absolutely flawless, her outfit was perfect and her aura incredible. Stole the show.

Absolutely. She looked like Britannia personified.

Memorable performance by Penny...reminded me of Grace Kelly's beauty...she set the standard for this ceremonial role .

She's an effing Warrior Queen! Her posture never failed and she did a bangup job carrying that sword!
Impeccable performance to hold those swords so steady at that angle for so long Brava! The outfit colour, choice of motif & Tudor like headband…perfect.
