Meghan Markle insists that she doesn't want to be called 'Duchess'

  • Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, appeared as a guest judge on the 18th season of MasterChef Australia on Sunday, where Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, surprised her with a video call during filming.
  • The episode was filmed during the couple's visit to Australia earlier this year, when Meghan judged contestants while Harry attended a veterans' event in Canberra.
  • Asked about cooking for her family, the Duchess said she had "a lot of palates to appease" at home, noting that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are "great eaters" who help with meal preparation.
  • Critics were split on the episode, with The Sunday Times calling it "one big gush-fest" while Hello Magazine posted she "made MasterChef Australia her own," though social media users offered mixed reactions ranging from "gracious" to "cringe."
  • The program recently earned recognition with a nomination at the Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lifestyle Program category, highlighting the show's industry standing despite the varied public response.
