Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has announced her newest venture and it is one that will take her Down Under.

The duchess will join the new season of "Junior MasterChef Australia," premiering next year, the show's production company announced Tuesday.

Meghan -- who was previously a guest judge on "MasterChef Australia" -- will be a special guest on the kids' cooking competition show alongside Poh Ling Yeow, an Australia-based chef and "MasterChef" judge.

"I had an incredible time with the whole team at MasterChef this past April, so when they approached me to come back and work with this young group of talent, it was an easy yes," Meghan said in a statement shared by the show's production company, EndemolShine Australia. "I love cooking with my own kids, so seeing what these young stars create in the kitchen is going to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see what they cook up."
