Georgia Harrison has received an honor from the British royal family. The former Love Island star was recognized for her work tackling online abuse and supporting victims of cybercrime. Her advocacy began after she was targeted by a revenge porn incident involving an ex-partner. She was given the award by Prince William at a ceremony earlier this week.

Georgia, who appeared on the third season of Love Island UK, was given the honor at Windsor Castle. She was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). She was included in the King’s 2025 Birthday Honours List earlier this year for her promotion of “online privacy and cyber crime awareness.”
Georgia was inspired to start her advocacy work after her ex-boyfriend, TV personality Stephen Bear, was found guilty in a revenge porn case against her. The court heard he had uploaded a video of the pair having sex to OnlyFans without Georgia’s consent. He was sentenced to 21 months in 2023, but was released early.
Speaking to reporters after the ceremony, Georgia said: “I feel exhilarated. I just didn’t realize how magical the moment was going to be. First of all, I was so happy when I found out it was Prince William. I really was hoping that he might be one of the people who was giving it and, you know, I had really found when I was receiving the award, that he took such a genuine interest in everything that I’d done, been following my story, and that really meant a lot to me.”
She added to the BBC: “It was such an amazing opportunity, and I’m really grateful, and I’m 100% going to continue to step up in my campaigning. And if anything, this is going to be something that really drives me to continue to evoke change for women everywhere, and I’m really grateful to be given such responsibility.”
