Meghan Markle Embarrasses Herself on MasterChef Australia by Failing to Name a Single Dish

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, found herself in an awkward situation during her appearance on MasterChef Australia. In the episode that aired on Sunday, the celebrity couldn't answer a simple question from the chef: what is her favorite dish to cook for her family? Instead of a specific answer, Meghan launched into a rambling explanation about different tastes in her household.

The hosts introduced Meghan as a home cooking expert, mentioning her lifestyle brand As Ever, which includes food products. However, when French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli asked about her favorite family meal, the Duchess seemed flustered. She said the question was tough because her husband Prince Harry and she have different preferences: he loves meat, potatoes, and cream sauce, while she prefers grilled fish and citrus.

Instead of naming a dish, Meghan started talking about herbs and spices, then tried to change the subject by asking about the pronunciation of the word 'herbs' in Australia. Viewers and social media users were shocked by her response. Many noted that even an ordinary mom could easily name a couple of favorite recipes, but the Duchess, who presents herself as a culinary expert, couldn't recall a single dish.

On social media, especially X (Twitter), a wave of criticism erupted. Users wrote that Meghan likely doesn't cook at all and that nannies take care of the children. Others pointed out that she didn't even mention what her kids — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — eat, raising further questions about her involvement in family life.

Some commenters recalled that Meghan had her own cooking show and knew what show she was going on. Yet she failed to prepare a simple answer. The incident became another topic for discussing the Duchess's lifestyle and public appearances. Many agreed that an honest answer about a favorite dish would have been much simpler and would have endeared her to the audience.

This is not the first time Meghan Markle has faced criticism over her culinary claims. Previously, her brand As Ever and promises of home cooking also sparked skepticism. Now the MasterChef Australia incident has only added fuel to the fire, reinforcing the opinion that the Duchess is far from real cooking.
