It’s the cutest thing! Meghan Markle appeared on cooking reality show “MasterChef Australia” as a guest judge for the July 26 episode. And while the Duchess of Sussex’s presence on competition show had been a shock to the contestants, she got a little surprise of her own — a call from her husband Prince Harry. “What’s going on?” Harry says cheekily, during the mid-episode video call. “Have I interrupted something?” For the show, based on the original British “Masterchef,” amateur cooks face off for the chance to publish their own cookbook and $250,000 AUD, which comes out to roughly $174,500.00 in USD. During the episode, four contestants were challenged to create a dish out of Meghan’s favorite seasonal ingredients, including Brussels sprouts, local Australian honey, quince, strawberries and more.
