Miss England 2024 Milla Magee exits Miss World 2025 mid-competition due to a family emergency. Organisers debunk false media claims and welcome Charlotte Grant as her replacement.
Hyderabad, May 25, 2025 – In a surprising turn of events at the ongoing Miss World 2025 pageant, Milla Magee, Miss England 2024, has withdrawn from the competition citing a family emergency related to her mother’s health. The announcement was officially confirmed by the Miss World Organisation on Saturday.

According to a statement issued by the organisers, Milla Magee requested to leave the pageant earlier this month, expressing concern over her mother’s medical condition. The organisation acted swiftly and compassionately to arrange her return to England.
“As a mother and grandmother herself, Julia Morley CBE, Chairwoman of Miss World, responded to Milla’s situation with compassion and immediately prioritised her return home,” the statement read.
Charlotte Grant Steps In as Miss England Representative
Following Magee’s departure, Charlotte Grant, the first runner-up in the Miss England pageant, has stepped in to represent the country. She arrived in Hyderabad, India, on Wednesday and was warmly welcomed into the Miss World sisterhood.
Her inclusion ensures that England remains represented in the prestigious global competition, which began on May 10 and is scheduled to conclude on May 31, 2025.
Organisers Refute Defamatory Claims
While the departure initially appeared to be a personal matter, several UK media outlets recently reported alleged negative remarks made by Magee about her experience in India. These claims were strongly rejected by the Miss World Organisation.
“These statements are false and defamatory,” said Julia Morley. “They are completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us.”
To provide clarity and transparency, the organisation has released unedited videos of Milla Magee recorded during her stay in India. In these clips, she can be seen expressing joy, gratitude, and appreciation for her experience.
“These videos reflect her own words and sentiments and serve as a direct contradiction to the recent false narratives,” the organisation added.
Miss World 2025: Celebrating Beauty With a Purpose
The Miss World 2025 pageant continues to uphold its core values of truth, dignity, and ‘Beauty With a Purpose’. Despite the controversy, the event remains focused on empowering young women, celebrating cultural unity, and driving social change.
The pageant’s grand finale is expected to take place in Mumbai on May 31, with participants from over 120 countries competing for the coveted crown.
Milla Magee’s early exit from Miss World 2025 has sparked both sympathy and speculation. While personal circumstances prompted her departure, the Miss World Organisation has made it clear that integrity and compassion remain at the forefront of its mission. With Charlotte Grant now proudly representing England, the journey continues toward crowning the next global ambassador of beauty and purpose.
