Lady In Dark Teal

[ferlew]

Who was the lady on the dark teal outfit who led the procession, and what was her role? I seem to have missed any info regarding her.

Penny Mordaunt...Lord President of the Privy Council

[pastafreak]

Oh...and first woman to carry out the ceremonial role at the coronation.

[seekeerz]

And didn’t she do it splendidly

[ferlew]

Thank you, yes she did a magnificent job :)

[jourdain2]

Yes, she's done brilliantly. She must be fit to carry that sword so steadily all that long while. Gone well up in my estimation.

[DTCwordfan]

promotion to Dame coming I bet.

[Hopkirk]

She had a good shot at being PM.

She's the 13th photo here:

Incidentally, what the hell has Lionel Ritchie done to his face?

Lady in dark teal? Mmmm, not quite the same ring to it as Lady In Red:-)

[Hopkirk]

She was also on Tom Daly's diving show.

She deserves a medal, she stood ramrod straight throughout and kept that sword straight perfectly. Her outfit just hit the right note too. Well done Penny.

Is Boris Johnson's wife expecting again?

[-SharonA-]

Barsel, I noticed that too. She looks pregnant in that flowing dress.

[piggynose]

14,40 who´s the father?

[rowanwitch]

I think her outfit was stunning...

I was a bit surprised to see the subtitle when she first appeared - it just said "Penny Mordaunt is Lord". Quite a promotion, especially in the abbey.

[jourdain2]

I've just read somewhere that Penny M. started doing daily press-ups to get the strength in the arms and upper body that she needed.

[New Judge]

Yes she did do well. She undertook her first duty as Lord President of the Privy Council just four days after she was appointed to the post when she led the accession council ceremony of King Charles III at St James’s Palace, shortly after The Queen's death.

Too much dancing on the ceiling?
