The first winner from the United States, 1973's Marjorie Wallace, was forced to resign because of her high-profile serial dating. The duties, but not the title was offered to first-runner up, Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines, which she refused. The two girls were tied at the final tabulation of the pageant competition, but the Chairman of the Board of Judges, American actor, Gregory Peck, broke the tie in favor of Wallace. Evangeline Pascual should be the official Miss World 1973 because it was her right to take over the crown but the organization did not used the rule which states if the winner can't fulfill her duties the first runner-up will take over her place.Unlike the following year the title was offered to the first runner-up who was Anneline Kriel of South Africa after revealing that the reigning Miss World was an unwed mother who was Helen Morgan of United Kingdom. If the title was offered, the Philippines would be the first Asian country to win the two major titles in the same year and not India

Yes, because being a true Miss World is shown through her willingness to do good things for the world, regardless of label.

Yes she should have. Kind of a silly rule to win by but a win is a win.
