Nassau, Bahamas  – And she's off! Miss World Bahamas Ashley Hamilton left for Washington, D. C. on November 22 where she will spend just under a month competing in the 66th edition of the Miss World pageant! Ashley will go up against beauties from over 120 countries in the world’s largest beauty competition.

Ashley’s first day in Washington was spent fulfilling official duties as a goodwill ambassador. She attended a special reception held in her honor at the Bahamas Consulate General, hosted by Consul General Paulette Zonicle. Also in attendance were Ambassador Dr. Eugene Newry and some 30 Bahamians residing in the area.

Consul General Zonicle warmly welcomed the beauty queen to Washington.
