Priscilla Martenstyn confessed, "I am not the real Miss Ceylon.  I am a schoolgirl in London."  The organizers still regarded her as an official entry, as she was born in Ceylon, but has lived with her family in London for the previous ten years.  The real Miss Ceylon - Lorraine Roosmalecocq - was in the USA for the Miss Universe pageant and apparently decided to stay there.
