The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, will co-host the Australian edition of Junior MasterChef, organisers have announced. In a brief statement she said she "can't wait" to take part in the programme.
Junior MasterChef Australia, part of the international MasterChef franchise, is due to be broadcast next year. Organisers have not yet released full details about the format, other presenting personnel or the airing schedule.
Meghan's involvement continues a pattern of high-profile media engagements following her departure from senior working roles in the British royal family. The announcement is likely to draw attention both to the programme and to the Duchess's ongoing public profile.
No further information on casting, production partners or the broadcast platform has been made public so far. Broadcasters and producers are expected to release more details in the coming months as the show prepares to go on air.
