Meghan Markle sparked royal controversy after allegations that she had upset a MasterChef Australia judge before her much-anticipated celebrity appearance, scheduled to air on Sunday, July 26.
However, an insider has now stepped forward to strongly refute these claims. According to People, the insider maintained the Duchess of Sussex “had a great time” during the filming of her celebrity guest appearance and stated reports indicating otherwise are “false.”
The rebuttal comes after Australian media reports alleged Meghan, 44, and her representatives were dissatisfied with how she was presented in a promotional video for the culinary competition.
Speaking to the publication, the insider stated, “Meghan and the MasterChef judges had a great time on set together. They immediately had such a great rapport and had a really fun time working with the contestants and crew as well. Meghan left the set that day with such a positive experience.”
The insider continued: “Any reporting otherwise is false.”
These remarks follow reports that Meghan and her representatives were purportedly displeased after judge Poh Ling Yeow described the Duchess as “royalty” while presenting her in a promotional teaser, reports the Express.
Recorded during Meghan and Prince Harry’s Australian visit in April, the footage featured Yeow declaring: “We’ve had MasterChef royalty in the kitchen before, but nothing like this. All the way from sunny California, please welcome to MasterChef Australia…the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle!”
Multiple reports indicated that Meghan felt “very frustrated” by the specific wording and had expressly asked that the term “royal” be avoided.
