Meghan Markle’s MasterChef Cameo Accused of Being ‘Performative’
Production sources called Meghan Markle’s cameo performative after she presented ingredients and asked contestants to make a dish fit for a duchess.
- On Sunday, July 26, Meghan Markle appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, participating in a cooking challenge inspired by her lifestyle interests.
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's connection with Australia remains significant, as the country hosted their first major overseas royal tour in 2018 before the couple stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to Montecito, California.
- Contestants were tasked with creating a dish 'fit for a duchess,' while Prince Harry made a surprise video call and Markle requested judge Poh Ling Yeow call her 'Meghan' rather than by her royal title.
- Mixed reactions followed the cameo, with some viewers labeling the exchange 'cringe' and production insiders describing her presentation as 'performative,' while chef Jameson Stocks criticized her inclusion, claiming, 'When it comes to cooking, she contributes absolutely nothing.'
- Critics argue the appearance promotes her personal brand, claiming she has 'given nothing back' to local communities, though the project reflects her ongoing efforts to establish a presence in the lifestyle and entertainment industry.
