Namutebi Allibhai expressed her joy through an announcement on her social media pages where she said,

Difference Between Mrs & Miss World
Mrs. World is the first beauty pageant for married women creating that new genre in 1984. Mrs. World features directors in 80 countries which has elevated the combined systems to the largest and most successful of its genre in the world.
Miss World is the oldest running international beauty pageant. It was created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951. Since his death in 2000, Morley’s widow, Julia Morley, has co-chaired the pageant.
