Meghan Markle Confirmed as Judge on Junior MasterChef Australia

Her multiweek filming commitment in Melbourne next year will force a decision on whether Prince Harry and their children will travel with her.

Overview

  • Meghan Markle has publicly confirmed she will return to MasterChef as a judge on Junior MasterChef Australia after a well‑received guest appearance earlier this year.
  • Co‑star Poh Ling Yeow praised Meghan and production sources say the show is expected to film in Melbourne during the first half of 2027, a schedule that will keep her away from the UK for weeks.
  • Reporters and commentators have speculated that Prince Harry and the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, might join her for parts of the shoot but that travel plans remain unconfirmed.
  • Meghan issued a statement about recent allegations involving her estranged father, saying she was first told about the matter eight years ago and that police advised her to keep it private; Thomas Markle Sr. denies the claims.
  • Lifestyle reporting has claimed King Charles once considered revoking Harry and Meghan’s titles after a 2024 trip to Nigeria but that account is sourced to a single outlet and has not been independently corroborated.
