Speaking about the mother of two, Alexandria Funnell, a former MasterChef Australia post-producer, reveals: “I was keen to hear the goss.”

“She was so great!” one of the show’s current producers told her.

“She was so nice to all the crew, had a good sense of humor, and was just a normal human.”

The insider added that Meghan’s team only consisted of two people.

“Her entouragewas only 2 people and they were so great, too,” she noted.

“She was really good at judging too,” explaining that the Duchess of Sussex was “more concise than the regular judges”

“That’s the thing about the judges, as a post-producer, you have to cut them down a lot,” Funnell explained. “The waffle is waffling, they waffle like you would not believe.”
