Accordingly, the first runner up at last year's international pageant, Mrs. Ireland World - Kate Schneider, will now become the new Mrs. World 2020.

In a statement, Mrs. World Inc. Organization said Caroline's voluntary resignation decision was made solely by Caroline herself.

"We wish Mrs. Jurie and her family all the best in their future endeavors," Mrs. World Inc. Organization said.

Jurie had earlier this month said she was ready to hand over her crown after she slammed the Mrs. Sri Lanka pageant claiming it was tainted in heavy politicization.
