Without expecting it, Penny Mourdaunt became one of the central figures of the coronation of king Carlos IIIwhich took place from 05:00 this Saturday, May 6 (time in Ecuador), and where Mourdant paraded under the gaze of the whole world carrying the gigantic Sword of State.
The Leader of the House of Commons carried the sword at the historic event as Lord President of the Privy Council, position that he assumed since September of last year.
Wearing a teal gown with gold detailing and a matching cape, Mordaunt carried the 17th-century Sword of State to westminster abbey before handing it over to King Carlos III on his throne.

During the service, the sword was blessed by the Archbishop of Canterburywho officiated at the ceremony, before Mordaunt presented it to the new king.
The sword, symbol of royal power, was placed in the king’s right hand and it was fastened to his belt, although he later undid it. Finally, the artifact was briefly placed on the altar, and subsequently Penny had to continue holding it for a longer time.
Murdant’s impeccable outfit – also praised on social media – was completed with ballerinas black (although during the ceremony she changed her shoes for silver heels)adorned with crystal bows and a pair of striking pearl earrings.
