Penny Mordaunt’s teal-coloured dress to go on public display | Royal | News
The teal-coloured dress worn by royal sword-bearer Penny Mordaunt at the coronation of King Charles is to go on public display.
People will be able to see the outfits worn by Ms Mordaunt and Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle when he throws open the doors to his state rooms in the Palace of Westminster.
Leader of the Commons Ms Mordaunt broke with tradition for the historic occasion and won the attention of the nation.
