Meghan Markle's appearance on MasterChef Australia is scheduled to air next week, with the episode set to broadcast on Sunday, July 26 at 7pm Australian time. The announcement was made by Channel 10 and Endemol Shine, the network and production company behind the show.
What to Expect from Meghan's Episode
During the special episode, the 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex will task contestants with creating a dish fit for a duchess by focusing on one seasonal ingredient. The cooks will then have to explain the personal story or memory connected to their chosen produce. Meghan will sample each dish alongside the judges.
According to Mediaweek, Meghan agreed to appear on the show due to two factors: her love of food and her love of Australia. She said: "What attracted me to the MasterChef Australia kitchen? Two things: my love of food and my love of Australia. It was an easy yes." She added: "It's such a great show. I'm just really honoured that I was asked to be able to be here with you and to be able to judge some of these meals."
