This is going to be awkward telly
www.express.co.ukHere’s the latest on Meghan Markle’s MasterChef appearance.
- Meghan Markle appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia during her visit to Australia in April 2026. Multiple outlets reported her surprise entry to the kitchen and participation as a guest judge rather than a contestant.[3][7]
- Reactions to the appearance were mixed: some fans celebrated the royal encounter on the show, while others criticized the casting and questioned the show’s credibility or felt it was a publicity move.[2][4]
- The official MasterChef Australia channels and coverage from entertainment outlets confirmed her role as a guest judge and highlighted the season’s guest-judge lineup.[6][7][3]
