"I was so excited, this journey has been amazing. I'm living my biggest dream, so I'm in a playground experiencing things I've never experienced before. So many things happened to me through this journey. I got to tell the world that I'm a transgender woman. I got to be featured in Vogue twice. It just made everything more beautiful."
"I got to inspire and connect with so many people out there. Apart of the Swedish, the Brazilians, the immigrants, the trans, I was representing so many people that needed this spotlight, so it was absolutely amazing to connect with these people."
"I was really excited for it to come out. It was kind of the ending of an 18 month process, but it just felt like a lot of work and a long time coming to an end. It was a bittersweet kind of moment, but what I love about the finale is that you get all the queens back."
Drag Race UK vs the World concluded with Gawdland from Thailand winning the competition, making history as the first international queen to claim the crown. Kate Butch from the UK and Sweden's Fontana were finalists alongside US icon Mariah Balenciaga in a competitive top four. Following the finale, Fontana and Kate Butch reflected on their experiences.

Kate Butch described the finale as bittersweet, marking the end of an 18-month process, and praised the opportunity to reunite with all competing queens and celebrate their finale outfits.
