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. She added that she had been practising in rehearsals with weighted replicas and that her experience in the Navy had helped prepare her for standing for long periods of time without fainting. 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. And I think that in this coronation, yes, it is going to be royal and marvellous and mystical and spiritual and everything that you would expect it to be, but it will be modern as well.

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.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. 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. Huge and heartfelt thanks to all who made this so remarkable. I’m so proud of you all and the King and Queen today.” 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.

We’re stoically progressing with our interview in 30 degree heat in her North Kensington studio-cum-shop, while members of her five-strong team bob in and out – although we keep finding ourselves trying on merch.It symbolises royal power and being able to decide between good and evil, and the King accepting his duty and knightly virtues. 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.
