Georgia Harrison Recounts MBE Ceremony With Prince William on Loose Women

She said he praised her advocacy before asking what should change to better protect women and children online.

Overview

  • Speaking on Friday's episode of ITV's Loose Women, Harrison called the Windsor Castle investiture "surreal" and said the Prince told her he had seen her case in the news and thought she was "really, really brave."
  • She recounted nearly falling during her curtsey, adding that Prince William "cracked up" at the lighthearted moment.
  • Harrison was appointed MBE in October for services to tackling online privacy and cyber crime awareness, receiving the medal from the Prince of Wales.
  • Her advocacy intensified after ex-partner Stephen Bear was convicted in 2023 of voyeurism and disclosing private sexual images and was released in 2024 after about ten and a half months.
  • She previously waived her anonymity, joined Refuge’s call for stronger Online Safety Bill protections, discussed the bill with ministers at Downing Street, and helped police promote a 2024 consent-awareness campaign.
