The Miss World Organization has issued a response regarding the withdrawal of Miss England 2025, Milla Magee, from the 72nd Miss World competition currently underway in India. On Saturday, Chairperson and CEO Julia Morley released a statement addressing recent reports in the British media, refuting allegations and clarifying the circumstances surrounding Magee’s departure.
Milla Magee’s Withdrawal
Earlier this month, Miss England Milla Magee informed the Miss World Organization of her need to withdraw from the competition due to a family emergency related to the health of her mother and other family members. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Julia Morley prioritized Magee’s family welfare and promptly arranged for her return to England.
Following Magee’s withdrawal, Miss England’s 1st Runner-Up, Miss Charlotte Grant, stepped forward to represent England in the competition. Grant arrived in India on Wednesday and was warmly welcomed to participate in the Miss World events, embodying the spirit of sisterhood, as stated by Morley.
Response to British Media Allegations
The Miss World Organization was made aware of certain British media outlets publishing false and defamatory stories about Milla Magee’s experiences during the competition. In her statement, Julia Morley strongly condemned these allegations, calling them entirely baseless.
To counter these claims, the organization released unedited video clips from the start of the Miss World competition, showcasing Milla Magee expressing her joy, gratitude, and appreciation for the experience. These clips clearly demonstrate her positive engagement, debunking the recent misleading reports.
Miss World Organization’s Commitment
The Miss World Organization remains steadfast in its commitment to integrity, respect, and its core value of “Beauty with a Purpose.” In her statement, Julia Morley urged media outlets to uphold journalistic standards by verifying information with credible evidence before publishing potentially damaging stories.
The 72nd Miss World competition continues enthusiastically in Hyderabad. The organization is dedicated to conducting the event transparently and ethically, in accordance with its mission.
