Teen Crown & Glory Ireland 2026 –
Elana-Kate

My name is Elana-Kate, I’m 15 years old ( soon to be sweet 16!! ) and I am your current Teen Crown & Glory Ireland. I’m from north Belfast Northern ireland and I am a girl who has took interest in many things growing up and one of them happened to be pageants. My pageant journey began back in October 2022 when I first won a photogenic competition that paid my entry fee into a charity pageant and from that moment on I knew that pageants were definitely going to become a big part of my life. Outside pageants, I’m currently studying my GCSES which have been going amazing so far and I actually enjoy them. I hope to achieve well in them as im super motivated to achieve a career in the fashion and beauty industry or even have my own business in that industry! One part I see of pageantry as the most rewarding is the charities and platforms of each and everyone involved , they are all so diverse, meaningful and have a unique meaning behind them. My platform is based all around mental health , during 2023 I had lost a teammate, kaylee, from my football team due to her battle with her mental health, I and others had no idea she was struggling as she always had a smile on her face and this is something I want to make more people aware off. I want people to realise that it’s okay to wipe the smile off for a couple of hours and talk to your friends or someone you trust and let them know what your feeling, to support my platform I’ve jogged 28miles for 28 days in February for the mental health foundation, completed the darkness into light walk and always posting positive quotes on my social media . I aim to make this world a safer place so that people like Kaylee can feel as if they can talk without being judged so that they no longer have to fight that battle alone.
