MasterChef Australia Judge Defends Meghan Markle After Surprise Guest Spot

The praise follows a promo that used royal titles, drawing scrutiny.

Overview

  • Poh Ling Yeow, a judge on MasterChef Australia, publicly praised Meghan Markle on KIIS 106.5 and said she was delightful and professional during filming.
  • Yeow added that Markle was easy-going with a good sense of humor and slipped into the judging role smoothly thanks to her acting background.
  • Channel Ten posted a brief clip shortly after the shoot that introduced her as the Duchess of Sussex and referred to past guests as MasterChef royalty.
  • An unnamed insider told news.com.au that Meghan’s team had asked producers to avoid royal wording and felt very frustrated by the promo, a claim not verified beyond that report.
  • Coverage has linked the TV spot to Markle’s As Ever lifestyle brand, while her spokesman called talk of international expansion speculation and said no decisions have been made.
