Meghan Markle teases vow renewal with Prince Harry in playful moment over surprise gift

The Duchess of Sussex hinted at a possible vow renewal with her husband, Prince Harry, during a light-hearted exchange with two YouTubers while on a recent visit to Australia.

Appearing in a YouTube video with best friends Sean Skeels and Marley Whatarau, Meghan was presented with a selection of thoughtful gifts from the duo, who run the popular Get Down with Sean and Marley channel, which boasts more than one million subscribers.

After watching Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, Sean and Marley had previously tried their hand at recreating “Meghan’s Spaghetti”. The Duchess later sent them a thank-you note along with a basket of treats from her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

In the video, shared on Monday, the pair gifted Meghan a variety of items, including cuddly toys and NRL football jerseys for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. They also presented her with Minties, which Meghan revealed are “my mom’s favourite and they’re my favourite”, as well as chicken salt to elevate her cooking.

Meghan jokes about renewing her views

One particular gift, however, sparked a particularly amusing reaction. “Oh, I see what’s coming,” Meghan said, as Sean pulled out a pair of men’s swimming briefs.

“I see that. That’s going to be for my husband. I just have a feeling,” she added with a smile. As Sean handed over the “Aussie Bum” budgie smugglers, Meghan quipped: “For the love of my life. We might renew our vows with him wearing these.”

Holding them up for a closer look, Meghan laughed before folding them neatly and thanking the pair. “This is very meaningful. Thank you,” she said warmly, before embracing Sean.

She later added: “People love you both so much. Your show is amazing because you’re both amazing.

“I’m proud of both of you and I’m so happy and I’m so grateful for all the gifts. You guys keep doing what you’re doing. Your show is awesome and so are you.”

Meghan’s surprise MasterChef Australia appearance 

Sean and Marley weren’t the only ones to receive a special visit from the Duchess during her time Down Under. Meghan also made a “special guest” appearance on season 18 of MasterChef Australia, which aired on Sunday 19 April.

In a video shared on Instagram, judge Poh Ling Yeow announced: “We’ve had royalty in the MasterChef kitchen before, but no one like this! All the way from sunny California, please welcome to MasterChef Australia, the Duchess of Sussex!” 

Beaming as she entered to rapturous applause, Meghan greeted contestants and fellow judges Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli.

With Meghan on hand to mentor some of the cooks, Poh later revealed the contestants’ reactions were exactly as hoped. “They were in total shock; everyone’s jaws were on the ground,” she told 10 News. “In their wildest dreams, they would not have expected this, so it was very joyous for us to watch.”

Sofia added: “I’m not sure they did keep their composure! It was a very joyous atmosphere, very excited, lots of hairs standing on end, that sort of thing.”
