Meghan to co-host Junior MasterChef Australia

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will co-host the 2027 season of Junior MasterChef Australia as a special guest, joining presenter Poh Ling Yeow. She said she was looking forward to seeing what the young contestants create, after her guest judging appearance on MasterChef Australia drew the programme’s largest Sunday audience since 2023.

The announcement follows Meghan and Prince Harry’s four-day visit to Australia in April, during which her MasterChef appearance was filmed; it is understood she was not paid for that role. Network 10 has not said whether she will be paid for co-hosting. The news comes as Meghan continues work in food and lifestyle media, while facing scrutiny over allegations against her father, Thomas Markle, which he denies.
