The Duchess of Sussex will make an appearance as a guest judge on a new season of hit Australian television show MasterChef Australia. Meghan filmed in the episode in Melbourne on Wednesday, according to broadcaster Network Ten. The show's eighteenth season is set to air on April 19.
Meghan, together with Prince Harry, are currently on the second day of a four-day tour of Australia, which will see them combine visits to charitable causes alongside money-making events. The couple, no longer working royals, are visiting in a private capacity. It is their first time in Australia since 2018, as part of an intense tour just a few months after their marriage.
In a separate event on Wednesday, Prince Harry joined players from an Australian Rules football team for a lesson in how to play a game and visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The couple have more scheduled engagements in Melbourne on Thursday before traveling to Sydney.
On Tuesday, the duo visited the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne where hundreds had gathered at the foyer to catch a glimpse of the couple. Meghan also visited a women's refuge in Melbourne, where she served plates of frittata to people at the centre. Prince Harry is due to give a keynote speech at the InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit in Melbourne later this week, with tickets costing between A$1,000 ($713; £526) and A$2,400, with all proceeds going to charity Lifeline. The BBC has inquired whether the duke is receiving a fee for his appearance.
On Saturday, the Duchess will hold an 'in-person conversation' at a women's only weekend retreat in Sydney, with attendance fees reaching up to A$3,199, which includes a VIP package with a group photograph opportunity with Meghan. It remains unclear what Meghan will be compensated for her involvement in this event, which has not yet sold out.
Meghan's appearance comes off the back of her own lifestyle and cookery show, With Love, Meghan, which showcases her cooking and hosting tips with friends and guests. There are also suggestions that Australia is being considered as a market for her As Ever lifestyle brand, prominently featured in the Netflix series. Last year, her company registered trademarks covering 12 product categories in Australia, as recorded in a government intellectual property database.
