The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, reveals her passion for connecting with people is wrapped in the delightful art of cooking.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has a deep affection for culinary arts
This weekend, the 44-year-old former actress, Meghan, joined the set of MasterChef Australia as a special guest judge. With her children, Prince Archie, aged seven, and Princess Lilibet, aged five, Meghan shares her life with Prince Harry. During her guest appearance, she opened up about how culinary skills and sharing meals represent her unique “love language”.
She explained: “I think it’s such a great way to connect. It’s something that can feel sentimental and meaningful, and it’s how I show my nurturing and love for my friends, family, and my kids.”
The As Ever founder noted there can be a “lot of pressure in this kitchen” and urged contestants to try and “keep a sense of humour”.
She said: "Oh, we're so excited. We love Australia. We had the most sentimental, amazing time. We were here almost eight years ago. We announced we were pregnant with Archie at the time. So, it's full circle; here we are, but thrilled to be here with all of you and taste some really good food. I've heard you've been cooking up a storm this season,"
The Suits star asked the contestants to make a dish "fit for a Duchess" using ingredients she had selected, including honey, macadamia nuts, citrus, edible flowers and celeriac.
And as the judges were trying dishes, Meghan received a video call from Harry, where she revealed he finds spicy food "too much".
She said as she answered the phone: “Hi, my love! My husband’s here."
Her spouse joked: "What’s going on? Have I interrupted something important?”
Meghan replied: “Well, we are actually in the middle of tasting all the dishes. We have four incredible cooks here. It’s amazing, they’re so talented. We wish you were here.
“I wish you could try this. These dishes are fantastic.
“It’s really delicious, and there’s a hot sauce that, well, you know me … it is so good. I think it might be too much for you. It’s spicy.”
Harry replied: “Well, go and enjoy it. I’m very sorry to disturb you. All is well here. I’ll see you later.”
