Meghan Markle has revealed that her children are particularly fond of a rather controversial food.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, gave fans a glimpse of her upcoming appearance on MasterChef Australia as she starred in a promotional video for the Channel 10 programme on Wednesday.
In the two-minute clip, Meghan, who is guest judging on the programme, selected a range of lemons, macadamia nuts, Australian honey and Brussels sprouts for the contestants to cook with.
And she prompted gasps from onlookers when she revealed that Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, eat Brussels sprouts at home.

Many people don't like Brussels sprouts, with a common complaint being that they taste bitter.
However, Archie and Lilibet clearly have much in common with their grandfather, King Charles, who, when once asked to name his vegetables, responded: "I rather like Brussels sprouts."
The episode was filmed during Prince Harry and Meghan's visit to Australia in April, and will be broadcast on Sunday at 7.30pm local time.

King Charles is also a fan of spinach, telling schoolchildren it's the "best thing in the world" as he visited the first RHS Sandringham Flower Show with Queen Camilla on Wednesday.
However, he doesn't like squash and courgettes and has "banned" them from the royal greenhouses at Highgrove.
His former gardener David Pearce told the Farnham Herald in April: "We were growing mostly things he requested himself – a whole bed of salad and two whole beds of asparagus, he was very keen on that.

The Princess of Wales admitted in 2014 that she had to "mash up" vegetables for a young Prince George so he didn't notice them in his food.
However, things have clearly changed since then as Prince William has revealed the family grows vegetables at home in Norfolk.
Meghan and her children also grow "a lot of veggies" at their home in Montecito, and have even staged "a little farmer's market stand".
Meghan Markle offers fans a sneak peek of her MasterChef appearance
Meghan previously had her own cookery show on Netflix, called With Love, Meghan, so will be very experienced when she becomes a guest judge on MasterChef.
The promotional video saw her judging a "dish fit for a Duchess", pulling down a curtain to unveil a table of fruit.
"You have quite the bounty here," Meghan told the contestants, adding: "I really wanted to do something that gives you something to play with."
Speaking of her time on the show, she said: "I loved it. I loved watching all the guys connect and just being proud of each other. They all worked really hard."
"There is a lot of pressure in this kitchen! I don't like to cook that way. I like to cook in a really relaxed fashion, so all I can say to the competitors is just remember to have fun, to keep a sense of humour about it, and to cook from the heart."
"Food and cooking to me is really a love language. It's such a great way to connect; it's something that can feel sentimental and meaningful, and it's how I show my nurturing and love for my friends, family and my kids."
