Despite winning the title of Miss Virginia 2019, Camille Schrier isn't actually a native Virginian.
In an interview during the second night of the Miss America 2020 preliminary competition, Schrier admitted, "I am Miss Virginia, but I moved there in 2015 to go to college." The pageant queen revealed, "I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, right outside of Philadelphia. My parents are both Philadelphia natives."
According to Schrier, Miss Pennsylvania 2019 is a "former friend and competitor" from her teen years. However, as Schrier revealed, there's no bad blood between the two pageant queens. "It's really exciting to have the state of Pennsylvania, my people at home, cheering for her but also cheering for me," Schrier said. Nipping any assumptions of a feud in the bud, the Miss America 2020 winner explained, "People have this perception sometimes that it's very rigid in the way that we compete here. [However], it's so much fun, and there's so much state overlap, and we're all just hoping to have a good time and be supportive of each other."
