Itโs the cutest thing!
Meghan Markle appeared on cooking reality show โMasterChef Australiaโ as a guest judge for the July 26 episode. And while the Duchess of Sussexโs presence on competition show had been a shock to the contestants, she got a little surprise of her own โ a call from her husband Prince Harry.
โWhatโs going on?โ Harry says cheekily, during the mid-episode video call. โHave I interrupted something?โ
For the show, based on the original British โMasterchef,โ amateur cooks face off for the chance to publish their own cookbook and $250,000 AUD, which comes out to roughly $174,500.00 in USD.
During the episode, four contestants were challenged to create a dish out of Meghanโs favorite seasonal ingredients, including Brussels sprouts, local Australian honey, quince, strawberries and more. The result was to be โfit for a duchess.โ
Just as Meghan was tasting the dishes, she received the surprise ring from her beau.
โI wish you could try this,โ said Meghan, who referred to her husband as โmy love.โ โThese dishes are fantastic.โ
The Duke of Sussex, of course, replied by asking to see the creations.
The former โSuitsโ actress is no stranger to the kitchen. In 2025, she starred in her own Netflix lifestyle show โWith Love, Meghan.โ In the show, which ran for two seasons, Meghan invited a slew of celebrity guests into her home to explore some kitchen and craft tips and tricks.
The โMasterChef Australiaโ was released right on the heels of some new photos that Meghan posted to social media of her recent vacation with Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
In one of the photos, the family appears to pay a visit to Princess Dianaโs childhood home. The snap features Harry and Archie carrying large bouquets. Lilibet trails behind them as they walk down a grassy yard. The location is believed to be taken at Althorp, the late royalโs family estate.
