Meghan Markle to Host Australian Junior MasterChef Season
The Duchess of Sussex will present the upcoming Australian edition of Junior MasterChef, with filming planned in Melbourne and a possible appearance by Prince Harry and their children.
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is set to host the next season of the Australian version of Junior MasterChef. She will co-present the show with judge Poh Ling Yeow, and the series is scheduled to air in 2027. Filming is expected to take place in Melbourne next year, and while Prince Harry and the couple’s children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), may join her, no final decision has been confirmed.
The Duchess previously appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia during a brief visit in April, when Prince Harry video-called her from Canberra. The announcement follows recent media attention on the family, including investigations into allegations against Meghan’s father in the Philippines, which he has denied.
The Metropolitan Police have faced criticism for not acting on a 2019 letter that warned of possible child-abuse material involving her father. An international child-abuse campaigner suggested the matter should have been referred to the FBI, and the police are reviewing whether to refer the case to the watchdog.
Since returning to the United Kingdom, the couple have undertaken charitable engagements in Nottingham. Sources close to the Duchess say her focus remains on motherhood, her lifestyle business and reviving her acting career.
