Born in Barry, she worked in a bank. When Muñoz resigned as Mission Universe before the end of her reign, the crown was not offered to Morgan or any other runner-up. Mission World 1974
She had originally been reluctant to enter the Mission Wales competition, and was eventually paid £30 as a last-minute stand-in when another competitor dropped out.
However, she was forced to resign only four days after winning the pageant, upon the media discovering that she was an unwed mother with an 18-month-old son.
The first runner-up, Anneline Kriel of South Africa, succeeded her. The first case was that of Mission World 1973, Marjorie Wallace, who, according to pageant officials, was stripped of the crown for "failing to fulfill the basic requirements of the job" a few months into her reign.
After Mission World
Threatened with being a named party in a divorce – an action which was later dropped – Morgan was allowed to keep her other titles. She resigned from the bank, and undertook a career in modeling, television and films.
After modelling
Morgan married and moved to Surrey in the 1980s, and had two more children, Poppy and Ben.
