Prince William Shown Little Interest Meghan Markle’s MasterChef Australia Appearance

Prince William has reportedly shown little interest in Meghan Markle’s latest television appearance after the Duchess of Sussex featured as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia. New claims suggest the Prince of Wales chose not to watch the episode despite being told about it.

Meghan Markle appeared on the latest episode of the popular cooking competition, which had been filmed weeks earlier during the Sussexes’ visit to Australia. Her appearance quickly attracted attention from both supporters and critics.

The As Ever founder joined the judging panel as contestants prepared four dishes described as “fit for a duchess.” The special episode became one of the most talked-about instalments of the season.

Although the programme generated mixed reactions, reports claim the episode also became a topic of conversation within royal circles. Some insiders suggested not everyone was interested in seeing Meghan’s latest television venture.

According to sources cited by Woman’s Day, Prince William was informed about Meghan’s guest appearance after the episode aired. He was reportedly even offered the opportunity to watch a short clip from the programme.

However, the Prince of Wales is said to have declined the offer without hesitation. Reports claimed William simply laughed before giving a brief response.

In response to the suggestion, Prince William reportedly said, “I’ll pass.” The comment was described as his only reaction to Meghan’s latest television appearance.

One source claimed, “William was told about it and wasn’t surprised.” The insider suggested the future king viewed the television appearance as another attempt by the Sussexes to remain in the spotlight.

“He thought it was a bit of a desperate move and refused to watch even the smallest snippet,” the source reportedly added while describing William’s reaction.

Another insider also shared details about the Prince of Wales’ reported attitude towards Meghan’s public projects. According to the report, William has little interest in following her latest media appearances.

“It seems William has no interest in keeping up with Meghan’s latest TV appearances. For him, it’s a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’,” the second source claimed.

The episode also featured a surprise appearance from Prince Harry during filming. The Duke of Sussex briefly joined the programme through a video call, a moment that reportedly formed part of the planned production.

Harry’s unexpected call became one of the standout moments of the episode, with Meghan introducing him to the contestants and fellow judges. The brief exchange added a light-hearted moment to the special challenge.

Despite Meghan Markle’s latest television appearance and Prince Harry’s surprise cameo, reports continue to suggest that Prince William remains estranged from his younger brother and sister-in-law. According to the latest claims, there are still no signs that reconciliation between the two royal brothers will happen anytime soon.
