BREAKING NEWS: Meghan Markle has ‘no business judging’ after cooking video resurfaces
Meghan Markle has caused a stir online
An old cooking video of Meghan Markle has re-emerged on social media following the Duchess of Sussex’s latest television appearance.
The 44 year old mother-of-two recently appeared on MasterChef Australia as a surprise guest judge after it was confirmed earlier this week that she would feature on the popular cooking programme, which broadcasts on Channel 10.
She entered the kitchen after footage was recorded during her visit to Australia with Prince Harry in April.
Meghan has established herself as a cooking enthusiast, with her lifestyle and cooking brand, As Ever, officially launching in April 2025. She has also demonstrated her culinary abilities in her Netflix programmes.
However, viewers were swift to highlight that Meghan seemed to struggle in the kitchen, with some asserting she has “no business” judging others on the programme.
The resurfaced footage depicted the mother-of-two struggling to chop onions while cooking in her California kitchen.
On X, one individual posted, “She was given one of the most exclusive televised cooking shows to ever be made, and this is her level of chopping skills.”
Another individual stated, “One of the many reminders why Meghan has no business judging anyone’s food #MasterchefAU.”

A third individual added, “For a start the chopping board should not be that crowded – just dreadful.
“Nobody holds a knife like that to chop vegetables. This is highly embarrassing.,” a fourth individual wrote. This comes after reports suggesting Meghan and members of her team were reportedly dissatisfied following claims they asked MasterChef Australia producers not to describe her as ‘royalty’ after the show’s main judge Poh Ling’s introduction to her.
According to New Idea, the introduction left Poh feeling ‘upset.’
“It wasn’t about Meghan personally,” a source told the publication. “Poh felt she had been unintentionally drawn into a royal protocol issue she never intended to be part of.”
Another insider claimed Poh had wished to contact Meghan directly to apologise, but was told to allow the production team to handle the situation instead.
“She was willing to reach out immediately,” the source said. “But she was advised to leave it for production to handle.”
