$\mathbb{P}^{5}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^{ 5 }$

More appropriately in this particular presentation as a quotient of the symplectic group is to consider the Grassmannian as the adjoint variety of type $\mathrm{C}_{ 3 }$, where the embedding is the second Veronese embedding into $\mathbb{P}(\mathrm{V}_{2\omega_1})=\mathbb{P}^{ 20 }$.

Projective duality

The dual is empty: no hyperplane contains a projective tangent space of the full projective space.
