Meghan Markle Guest Judges MasterChef Australia, Harry Calls In

In April, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, guest judged on MasterChef Australia, filmed in Melbourne during a private four-day visit with Prince Harry. During the show, Prince Harry surprised her with a video call, leading her to refer to him as "a charmer." Contestants were challenged to prepare a dish "fit for a duchess," but Meghan requested the judges to simply call her Meghan. Reactions were mixed: The Sunday Times criticized it as "one big gush-fest," while Hello Magazine commended her poise. Meghan revealed her favorite home-cooked meals blend her British husband's love for "meat, potatoes and cream sauce" with her preference for grilled fish, noting their children, Archie and Lilibet, are "great eaters." This appearance followed her lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, which received a Daytime Emmy nomination. Earlier in July, the family met privately with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House during a UK visit.
