Her ceremonial Robe of Estate was designed and embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, whilst Ede and Ravenscroft constructed the robe itself. The Jewelled Sword of Offering has a hilt encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds and a scabbard decorated with jewelled roses, thistles and shamrocks.

After Jill Biden tweeted her alliance with Ukraine after their meeting yesterday, people have noted the pairs' Coronation outfits and their similarities to the Ukrainian flag.

I think the monarchy survives and persists because it adapts and it changes and it’s always relevant. The piece is reportedly inspired by the crowns worn by Queen Elizabeth's maids of honour ahead at her 1953 coronation.

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. Mrs Biden, who was sent as the States' representative, wore a Ralph Lauren skirt suit and accessorised with matching gloves and hair piece. Author and columnist Caitlin Moran also commented on the social media buzz around Ms Mordaunt’s role, saying: “Penny Mordaunt’s sword is the “Pippa Middleton’s Bum” of the Coronation.

Kate Middleton stunned Coronation event-goers in a regal dress by Alexander McQueen, who was also behind her 2011 wedding dress.
