MasterChef Australia delivered a surprise TV moment when Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, stepped into the kitchen and shut down one title straight away.
Poh Ling Yeow greeted her warmly and asked, “Welcome. Do I call you Duchess?”
Meghan answered with a smile: “Oh, call me Meghan. Absolutely, yeah.”
The 44-year-old filmed the guest spot during her April trip to Australia with Prince Harry. Contestants had no idea she was about to appear.
Before the reveal, Poh teased a “mystery guest judge” filling in for Andy Allen during his paternity leave. She admitted she was trying not to start “swearing” from excitement.
Then Meghan walked in, and the room lit up.

Meghan Markle’s Masterchef Australia twist left the kitchen stunned
Her cameo came with a challenge that felt very personal. Contestants had to create a “dish fit for a Duchess” using ingredients Meghan picked herself.
She chose honey, macadamia nuts, citrus, celeriac and edible flowers. The mix gave the amateur cooks plenty to think about.
Meghan also spoke fondly about being back in Australia with Harry. She told the kitchen: “Oh, we’re so excited. We love Australia.
“We had the most sentimental, amazing time. We were here almost eight years ago. We announced we were pregnant with Archie at the time.
