Early reaction to Meghan's appearance on Australia's biggest culinary TV show has been mixed, with some critics suggesting that the non-working Royal was asked onto the show to boost its ratings.

Professional chef Jameson Stocks told The News it was a 'complete joke' – "I think that they have invited her on purely for the PR because Masterchef means master - a person with high skill a expert and chef and she is neither of those and far from it, I think it’s embarrassing for Masterchef Australia to be honest." Ouch.
