Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, referred to her husband Prince Harry as "a charmer" during a surprise video call he made to her while she was a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. The appearance on the latest season of the show saw the Duchess interact with contestants and judges, offering advice and tasting dishes.
During the episode, Meghan was asked about her favorite dish to cook at home, noting that she has "a lot of palettes to appease." She described her British-born husband as favoring "meat, potatoes and cream sauce," while her preference is for grilled fish. She also mentioned that their children, Archie and Lilibet, enjoy assisting with meal preparation and are "great eaters."
When Prince Harry joined the call, Meghan introduced him to the contestants, prompting cheers and surprise. She expressed her wish that he could try the dishes, describing them as "fantastic." He concluded the call by telling her to "go and enjoy" her time.
Her participation in the program was met with varied reactions. Hello Magazine shared a video of the episode, praising Meghan's interaction with the chefs and describing her as "effortlessly elegant." Conversely, The Sunday Times' Charlotte Ivers offered a less favorable review, stating that the appearance revealed little about Meghan's preferences or the competition's outcome. Social media commentary also reflected this division, with some users finding Meghan "warm, gracious and a delight to watch," while others labeled Prince Harry's cameo appearance as "cringe."
