Meghan Markle faces backlash after her ‘MasterChef Australia’ stint

Meghan Markle's guest judge appearance on MasterChef Australia drew backlash for being 'performative' and 'carefully constructed'.

Markle selected ingredients for contestants: Australian honey, macadamia nuts, celeriac, citrus fruits, and edible flowers.

She emphasized her family's casual cooking habits, preferring grilled meats, fish, and citrus flavors.

Prince Harry called Markle during the episode from Canberra, where he was with veterans.

Markle advised contestants to 'remember to have fun, to keep a sense of humour about it and to cook from the heart'.
