MP Penny Mordaunt said she took painkillers ahead of the Coronation to help her carrying ceremonial swords. She told Nick Robinson's Political Thinking podcast she had made sure she fit and well ahead of the ceremony.
She said: "I was not in the gym for six months prior to this" but added: "You want to make sure you are in good nick.
"I did take a couple of painkillers before just to make sure I was going to be alright."
