The Duchess of Sussex will make an appearance as a guest judge on a new season of hit Australian television show MasterChef Australia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Meghan filmed in the episode in Melbourne on Wednesday, according to broadcaster Network Ten. The show’s eighteenth season is set to air on April 19. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Meghan, together with Prince Harry, are currently on the second day of a four-day tour of Australia, which will see them combine visits to charitable causes alongside money-making events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The couple, no longer working royals, are visiting in a private capacity. It is their first time in Australia since 2018, as part of an intense tour just a few months after their marriage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

In a separate event on Wednesday, Prince Harry joined players from an Australian Rules football team for a lesson in how to play a game and visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The couple have more scheduled engagements in Melbourne on Thursday before traveling to Sydney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

On Tuesday, the duo visited the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne where hundreds had gathered at the foyer to catch a glimpse of the couple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Meghan also visited a women’s refuge in Melbourne, where she served plates of frittata to people at the centre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Prince Harry is due to give a keynote speech at the InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit in Melbourne later this week, where tickets to attend cost from around A$1,000 ($713; \u00a3526) up to A$2,400. All ticket proceeds will go to the charity Lifeline. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The BBC has asked organisers whether the duke is receiving a fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

On Saturday, the Duchess will hold an “in-person conversation” at a women’s only weekend retreat in Sydney. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Guests are paying up to A$3,199 to attend a “girls’ weekend”, with a VIP package including the opportunity to get a group table photograph with Meghan. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

It is not known what the duchess will be paid for her involvement in the event, which has not sold out and is still advertising a “handful of additional rooms”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Meghan’s appearance comes off the back of her own lifestyle and cookery show, With Love, Meghan, which seeds her share cooking and hosting tips with friends and guests. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

There are also suggestions that Australia is being considered as a market for Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand \u2013 which was featured prominently in the Netflix series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Last year, the company registered trademarks in 12 different product categories in Australia, according to a government intellectual property database.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
