Meghan Markle is set to make a television appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, airing on Channel 10 on Sunday, July 26, at 7pm local time. The episode was filmed in April during the Duchess of Sussex's visit to Australia with Prince Harry.
Challenge Focuses on Seasonal Ingredients and Personal Stories
During the episode, Meghan will task contestants with creating a dish that features one seasonal ingredient and incorporates a personal story. The available ingredients include carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, Brussels sprouts, celeriac, Australian honey, macadamia nuts, quince, lemons, apples, mandarins, and strawberries.
“What attracted me to the MasterChef Australia kitchen? Two things: my love of food and my love of Australia. It was an easy yes,” Meghan said, according to Mediaweek. She added, “These [the ingredients available] are all things that, for me, feel really nostalgic.”
Joining an Esteemed Panel of Judges
Meghan will appear alongside regular judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli. The broadcaster announced the appearance on Instagram, stating: “The countdown is on! Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, joins the #MasterChefAU kitchen as a guest judge, bringing her love of food, entertaining and seasonal produce to one of the competition's most memorable challenges. Tune in on Sunday, 26 July at 7pm on @channel10au.”
