Georgia Harrison Says Her Theatrical Curtsey Made Prince William Laugh at MBE Ceremony

The Love Island alum received the honour for campaigning on online privacy following a revenge‑porn case that made her a prominent advocate.

Overview

  • Harrison says she nearly "hit the deck" during an over-the-top curtsey at Windsor Castle, which left the Prince of Wales laughing.
  • She was about eight-and-a-half months pregnant at the investiture and joked she half expected the drama of going into labour.
  • Prince William presented the award and, according to Harrison, praised her bravery and detailed advocacy on revenge pornography and cyber crime.
  • She is the first Love Island contestant to receive an MBE and later welcomed her daughter, Sahara Jean, in October with partner Jack Stacey.
  • Her activism followed ex-partner Stephen Bear’s conviction for sharing intimate footage without consent; GB News reports his 21‑month sentence was later reduced to 11 months with damages exceeding £200,000.
