Prince Harry Checks In on MasterChef Australia
Prince Harry made a surprise call to his wife, Meghan, during her appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. Meghan was in Melbourne, Australia, in April, filming an episode of the popular cooking show as part of a four-day tour of the country with her husband.
A Charmer on the Set
When Prince Harry called Meghan, producers handed her the phone, and she greeted him with a warm "hi, my love." She later called him "a charmer" in front of the contestants. The episode was a unique blend of cooking and celebrity, with Meghan urging the chefs to cook something they felt connected to, asking, "What's the story behind it?"
Favourite Dishes and Family Help
Meghan shared with the contestants that her favourite dish to make at home was a tough choice because she had to appease many palates. Her British-born husband, Prince Harry, preferred traditional fare like meat, potatoes, and cream sauce, while Meghan favoured grilled fish. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, often help with meal preparation and are "great eaters," Meghan said.
Private Capacity, Public Reaction
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Australia in a private capacity, combining charitable causes with money-making events. Their appearance on MasterChef Australia was well-received by Hello Magazine, which complimented Meghan for her effortless elegance. However, The Sunday Times' Charlotte Ivers was less impressed, saying Meghan's appearance told them nothing about what she likes or who would leave the competition.
Social Media Divided
Social media users were split on the episode, with some praising Meghan's warmth and graciousness while others called Prince Harry's cameo appearance "cringe." Despite the mixed reaction, Meghan's appearance on MasterChef Australia comes after her own lifestyle and cookery show, With Love, Meghan, which has secured a nomination at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
A Private Meeting and Summer Holiday
Earlier this month, Prince Harry and Meghan visited the UK, holding a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House. Meghan did not make any public appearances amid a row over security. On Thursday, the duchess posted a collection of photos on Instagram capturing the Sussex family's summer holiday so far, including several shots of Archie and Lilibet.
