realistically, miss universe is merely a talent of the miss universe inc. she wields no power. true she is known worldwide. but if you have actually traveled around the world, you'll realize that beauty contests are not that respected in most parts of the world except in latin america, thailand, philippines, korea and some parts of canada and united states.
miss universe has no actual power to legislate rules and regulations for countries. she cannot truly establish world peace. she is purely a model, an entertainer and a talent ot donald trump and NBC.
she has no legal or political power to speak of.
some people should better have a clearer grasp of reality.
we love pageants. we love beauty queens, especially miss universe. but we should over-idealize our perceptions.
get a life.

Yes, realistically, the Miss Universe is not only a global role model, a global ambassador of goodwill, a global talent and entertainer, but Miss Universe is the symbolic queen of the entire universe. Queen Elizabeth II is the symbolic queen of U.K. only.
In terms of power, some royalties/monarchies have no actual legal or political power such as the British royalty. They are mere symbolic. Their affairs are only very well-publicized globally like Michael Jackson that's why they also get millions of foreign, avid fans and fanatics.
Of course a world beauty queen is not a politician or a monarch who are invested with the power to govern and lead a country or kingdom.
I'm not a lawyer and I'm not so knowledgeable on national & int'l laws. If I'm not mistaken, in many countries, the power to make and amend laws are done by the senate and congress, and the leader approves them into laws. In reality, the political or legal powers of any nation's leader comes from the peope/countrymen who invested/endowed him/her with those powers.
And no one is above the law. In history, we have seen many empowered leaders of nations who became powerless and were put to jail because of their great unlawful deeds and, likewise, monarchs who were dethroned.
Just for the sake of comparison, we can see and realize these clear, valid, truthful and realistic distinctions:
1) The Miss Universe Coronation is a world event that involves countries/nations and all continents of the world, and is witnessed live by the whole world. The coronation of a monarch is just a kingdom's internal affair though other nations' leaders are invited as guests. but definitely it is not a world event. The affair is held only in the kingdom and does not involve any country. It is only well-publicized worldwide.
In the strict sense of the word, the universe or cosmos that comprises all the galaxies, stars and planets and all that exist (visible and invisible, material and nonmaterial, living and nonliving), is truly incomparable to any kingdom or country in the world. Great Britain or U.K. can never be greater than the universe!
The Universe is the ultimate and the greatest totality of reality!
2) The crown, title and reign of a world beauty queen is global or worldwide in scope while the crown, title and reign of a monarch/royalty is confined or limited only to his/her kingdom or country. Likewise with the authority, power and jurisdiction of any nation's leader in the world which is also limited to his/her country or nation only.
3) The crown, title and reign of a world beauty queen is earned (acquired as a result of her effort, performance and action) while the crown, title and reign of a monarch/royalty is hereditary (just handed down or inherited only).
4) A nation's leader acquired his position and is put to power (which is invested in him/her by the people) by a popularity contest called poll or political election. What the political candidate has to do is to just vie and aim for the highest or most number of votes through intensive and massive solicitations of votes. he/she who is the most popular candidate, who obtains the highest number of votes, wins the popularity contest or political election!
5) Just like the political election of all nations' leaders (politicians) in the world, even the pope is also elected through a popularity contest called conclave, the secret meeting of all cardinals to elect the pope. What the would-be pope has to do is to just vie and hope for the highest number of votes of his fellow cardinals from different nations, then he just waits for the result. the most popular cardinal, who obtains the most number of votes, wins and acquires the papacy!
Some countries just don't realize the global significance of world pageants despite their many important global causes that greatly help and make our planet a better place to live in. These noble, global causes and objectives of world pageants for the world cannot even be done globally by any nation's leader or monarch for most of them are only concerned with their own respective countries or kingdoms.
Regardless of nationalities, races, religions or ideologies, world beauty contests/pageants play an important and significant global role and impact to the world. With their noble causes and great objectives for the upliftment and betterment of humankind and this planet, they deserve high respect and appreciation of the whole world.
