Chloe Roberts, a bright and compassionate young woman, has left an indelible mark on those who knew her.
She passed away in January 2025, just days after being crowned Miss Royal Somerset 2025.
At just 21 years old, Chloe had big plans for her reign, dedicating it to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, causes she deeply cared about after losing a close friend to suicide in 2021.
Her untimely passing has left her family, friends, and supporters heartbroken, as tributes pour in to honor her remarkable life.
A Champion for Mental Health
Chloe’s dedication to mental health advocacy was evident in all her endeavors.
As Miss Royal Somerset, she announced that she would use her platform to raise awareness and support for mental health initiatives.
She even hosted a podcast called Talk It Out, which streamed on Spotify worldwide, where she aimed to break the stigma surrounding mental health and provide a space for open discussions.
Topics covered on her podcast included mental health during pregnancy, adoption, bullying, PTSD, and more.
Chloe’s goal was clear: to help others by shining a light on these important issues.
She often spoke about her close friend’s suicide in 2021, using it as a driving force behind her mission.
In a heartfelt post about her pageant title, she shared, “I dedicate my platform as a legacy to her,” a testament to her strength and commitment to a cause she was passionate about.
Breaking Stereotypes and Redefining Beauty Pageants
Chloe was determined to challenge the outdated perceptions of beauty pageants.
She spoke openly about how the industry had evolved, focusing not on physical appearance but on the impact contestants could make in their communities.
She expressed pride in being part of a new wave of pageantry, where advocacy, charity work, and community involvement took center stage.
In an interview, she said, “The pageant industry these days isn’t what it used to be.
It’s more about who you stand for as a person, your community, and your charity work.”
This progressive view resonated with many, especially as Chloe was also preparing to compete in the Miss Royal UK finals, where she would have had the chance to go on to represent the UK internationally.
A Life Cut Short, But Never Forgotten
While Chloe’s life was tragically cut short, the impact she had on those around her is undeniable.
Tributes from her friends and family reflect her loving nature and the difference she made in the lives of others.
One friend shared on Facebook, “Chloe was one of the kindest, most caring individuals both online and in real life.
She helped so many people, and for that, I will always be grateful.”
Her legacy lives on in the messages of love and admiration shared by those who knew her best.
From her close friend who reminisced about their years of friendship to those who were inspired by her dedication to mental health advocacy, Chloe’s memory will continue to inspire others.
The Support of a Close-Knit Community
Chloe’s friends have rallied together in their grief, sharing stories of the good times they had with her.
One friend expressed, “You always knew how to make me laugh, and you were the kindest soul I have ever met. Heaven has gained an angel.”
Another friend shared how Chloe was the first to make her feel welcome in the pageant world, and how their bond grew despite being miles apart.
“You have a piece of my heart forever,” they wrote.
Her passing has left a void in the pageant community, where she was known not only for her beauty but for her heart and character.
Those who were closest to her are holding on to the memories they shared, knowing that Chloe’s influence will never fade.
