Meghan Markle MasterChef.

Meghan Markle made headlines with a surprise appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, showing off her pre-duchess television experience. “Passionate foodie Meghan Markle is joining MasterChef Australia as a guest judge,” the popular cooking show announced during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s visit to Australia. In a video shared on TikTok, a MasterChef producer spilled on the gossip from the set, including what Meghan Markle was really like behind the scenes.

Alexandria Funnell, a former MasterChef Australia post-producer, reached out to a friend of hers who still produces the show asking for the gossip. “I was keen to hear the goss,” Funnell said. “She was so great!” one of the show’s current producers wrote in a text message to Funnell. “She was so nice to all the crew, had a good sense of humor, and was just a normal human.” Speaking about her team, the producer shared that Meghan Markle kept things low-key. “Her entourage was only 2 people and they were so great, too.”
