\n\t\t\t\t\tMeghan in the kitchen was a huge surprise to contestants, but there was one more to come.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It was MasterChef\u2018s biggest surprise\u2026<\/p>\n
Sunday night\u2019s episode with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, saw jaws on the floor of contestants.<\/p>\n
When Meghan walked into a red carpet Flemington-based kitchen the remaining four contestants -watched on by those eliminated in the gantry- were clearly starstruck. Even the judges were trying to process the biggest name of them all.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is happening!\u201d Poh Ling Yeow exclaimed.<\/p>\n
There were smiles beaming around the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is going on?\u201d asked contestant Aaron.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo pressure. It\u2019s gonna be great,\u201d Meghan replied.<\/p>\n
Meghan looked relaxed and honoured to be stepping into the kitchen, giving the contestants her feedback as they cooked a dish worthy of a Duchess. She was mostly accompanied by Poh as the challenge proceeded.<\/p>\n
But nobody expected a crew member to interrupt the judging by handing her a phone with Prince Harry calling.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband is here,\u201d said Meghan, showing her phone to contestants.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was more applause and waves from the shocked room.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on. Have I interrupted something important?\u201d Harry asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are actually in the middle of tasting all the dishes. We have four incredible cooks. Aaron is here. Vinnie\u2019s back there, Casper and Petro. Say hi guys. It\u2019s amazing, they\u2019re so talented. We wish you were here. He\u2019s in Canberra right now, with the veterans,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cChandeliers in the background, that\u2019s very nice,\u201d said Harry.<\/p>\n
But she suggested a sambal sauce might be too spicy for his tastes. The Prince prefers steak and veg.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have loved every second of being here. I was already in love with Australia and this has justmade me over the moon\u2026.. all of these dishes are well worth flying over here for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo good you\u2019ll be coming back next year,\u201d Poh teased.<\/p>\n
Securing Meghan was the biggest coup for MasterChef this year, as the series heads into it final episodes. <\/p>\n
