The Duchess of Sussex will generate an appearance as a guest judge on a fresh season of hit Australian television show MasterChef Australia.

Meghan filmed in the episode in Melbourne on Wednesday, according to broadcaster Network Ten. The show’s 18th season is set to air on 19 April.

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.

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.

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.

The couple have more scheduled engagements in Melbourne on Thursday before traveling to Sydney. This also touches on aspects of geopolitics.

On Tuesday, the duo visited the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne where hundreds had gathered at the foyer to meet them.

Meghan also visited a women’s refuge in Melbourne, where she served plates of frittata to humans at the centre.

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 between A$1,000 ($713; £526) and A$2,400 ($1,718; £1,266). All ticket proceeds will go to the charity Lifeline.

The BBC has asked organisers whether the duke is receiving a fee.

On Saturday, the duchess will hold an “in-person conversation” at a women’s only weekend retreat in Sydney.

Guests are paying up to A$3,199 ($2,290; £1,688) to attend a “girls’ weekend”, with a VIP package including the opportunity to get a group table photograph with Meghan.

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”.

Meghan’s appearance comes off the back of her own lifestyle and cookery show, With Love, Meghan, which sees her share cooking and hosting tips with friends and guests.

There are also suggestions that Australia is being considered as a industry for Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand – which was featured prominently in the Netflix series.

Last year, the organization registered trademarks in 12 different product categories in Australia, according to a government intellectual property database.
