Meghan, 44, was tasting dishes alongside regular judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli when a crew member walked onto the set holding a phone, telling them, \u201cSorry to interrupt. We\u2019ve had a call into the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

He hands the phone to Meghan, revealing it is none other than Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show judges and contestants were excited to see Harry on the phone.\u00a0Network Ten\/Masterchef Australia<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, my love! My husband\u2019s here<\/a>,\u201d Meghan said, as the camera panned to her fellow judges waving at Harry, 41.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Have I interrupted something important?\u201d the Duke of Sussex then jokingly asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we are actually in the middle of tasting all the dishes. We have four incredible cooks here. It\u2019s amazing, they\u2019re so talented. We wish you were here,\u201d Meghan replied, telling the judges, \u201cHe\u2019s in Canberra right now with the veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish you could try this. These dishes are fantastic,\u201d she continued to Harry. \u201cIt\u2019s really delicious, and there\u2019s a hot sauce that, well, you know me \u2026 it is so good. I think it might be too much for you. It\u2019s spicy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry then tells Meghan: \u201cWell, go and enjoy it. I\u2019m very sorry to disturb you. All is well here. I\u2019ll see you later.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group then bursts into a round of applause before the episode continues.<\/p>\n

Meghan has increasingly stepped into roles with TV cooking, having been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, in which she showcased her cooking and hosting skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cFood and cooking to me is really a love language,\u201d the duchess says on\u00a0MasterChef\u00a0Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s such a great way to connect. It\u2019s something that can feel sentimental and meaningful, and it\u2019s how I show my nurturing and love for my friends, family, and my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her episode, Meghan revealed that the couple\u2019s children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, enjoy eating Brussels sprouts while tasting a dish.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the episode she spoke of her love of \u201cfarm to table\u201d cooking and revealed her mother is an \u201cincredible cook\u201d.<\/p>\n

When asked what her favourite dish is to cook for her family, Meghan admitted it is challenging because she has \u201cso many different palates to appease\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband is from the UK. He loves a lot of meat, potatoes, cream sauce. California girl, I like grilled fish, grilled meats, the citrus. I just like using really pure, natural herbs and spices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan then paused to ask how to pronounce \u201cherbs\u201d in Australia and was told the \u201ch\u201d is most definitely included in our pronunciation Down Under.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny great herbs and spices,\u201d she continued. \u201cI actually like a lot of heat in my food so anything with a little bit of spiceness, not too much so its overpowering, but really balancing out the flavours and mixing the savoury and the sweet I think is always helpful. Just be playful.\u201d<\/p>\n
