Many girls, while growing up like to dress up as little princesses as they have been made to believe from an early age that they are royalty.

On Saturday, December 14, 2019, Miss Jamaica was crowned as the 69th Miss World by her predecessor, Vanessa Ponce de Leon, at ExCel London. The grand final of the show was hosted by Megan Young and Peter Andre.

Tunzi took the crown from last year’s winner, Catriona Gray. The bubbly South African model was one of the final three contestants, among them Sofia Aragon (Miss Mexico) and Madison Anderson (Miss Puerto Rico).
