The Duke of Sussex, 41, interrupted with a video call. Meghan cheerfully announced, "Hi, my love! My husband’s here," as judges waved to Harry. He joked, "What’s going on? Have I interrupted something important?" Meghan explained they were tasting dishes and that Harry was in Canberra with veterans. She teased a spicy hot sauce might be "too much for you," and Harry replied he was sorry to disturb them and would see her later. Contestants and judges applauded; one exclaimed, "That’s crazy!"
Former MasterChef post-producer Alexandria Funnell shared on TikTok that a current crew member described Meghan as "so great," "really good at judging," friendly to crew, with a small two-person entourage. MasterChef had first teased Meghan’s return to Australia in April, marking her first visit since 2018 during the couple’s four-day trip.
