The meghan markle masterchef appearance is set to air after the Duchess of Sussex filmed as a guest judge in Melbourne on Wednesday, during the couple’s four-day visit to Australia. The appearance was confirmed by broadcaster Network Ten, with the new season of MasterChef Australia scheduled to begin on April 19. The visit comes as Meghan and Prince Harry continue a private tour that mixes charitable stops with paid engagements.
Meghan Markle Masterchef Appearance filmed in Melbourne
Meghan’s filming took place in Melbourne on Wednesday, placing the meghan markle masterchef appearance at the center of a busy day of public events for the couple. They are on the second day of a four-day Australian tour and have been moving between community visits and money-making appearances. The pair are no longer working royals and are traveling in a private capacity.
The couple returned to Australia for the first time since 2018, when they were last in the country on an intense tour just a few months after their marriage. Their current visit includes scheduled engagements in Melbourne on Thursday before they travel on to Sydney. Meghan’s TV role adds a fresh entertainment angle to a trip already drawing strong public attention.
What the couple has done so far
On Tuesday, Meghan and Prince Harry visited the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, where hundreds gathered in the foyer to see them. Meghan also stopped at a women’s refuge in Melbourne, where she served plates of frittata to people at the center. In a separate event on Wednesday, Prince Harry joined players from an Australian Rules football team for a lesson and also visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Prince Harry is due to deliver a keynote speech at the InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit in Melbourne later this week. Tickets for that event start at around A$1, 000 and rise to A$2, 400, with all ticket proceeds going to the charity Lifeline. Organisers have been asked whether the duke is receiving a fee.
Reactions and event details
The couple’s itinerary also includes a Saturday appearance in Sydney, where Meghan is due to hold an in-person conversation at a women’s-only weekend retreat. Guests are paying up to A$3, 199 for the event, with a VIP package offering a group table photograph with Meghan. The event has not sold out and is still advertising a handful of additional rooms.
Meghan’s appearance comes after her own lifestyle and cookery show, With Love, Meghan, which focused on cooking and hosting tips with friends and guests. There are also suggestions that Australia may be considered a market for Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand, which featured prominently in that series. A government intellectual property database shows the company registered trademarks in 12 product categories in Australia last year.
What happens next
With the meghan markle masterchef appearance set for the new season’s April 19 launch, attention will now shift to how the episode is used within the show’s season rollout. More near-term, the couple’s Melbourne schedule continues Thursday before they move to Sydney, where Meghan’s weekend event will add another high-profile stop to a tightly packed tour.
