However, it's important to note that Meghan will not be taking over hosting duties, as earlier rumors suggested.
She will be in Australia for only a brief period, focusing on the project for a few weeks. While there are no indications that Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will be joining her, the Duchess of Sussex expressed her enthusiasm for the opportunity. "I had an incredible time with the whole team at MasterChef this past April, so when they approached me to come back and work with this young group of talent, it was an easy yes," she said.
Fellow host Yeow echoed Meghan's excitement, stating that she is "thrilled to bits" about the show's return and about cooking alongside the Duchess again.
