Meg could use this as an opportunity for going back to basics and demonstrating that you don't need to bit up when your horse becomes stronger, it's disappointing to see that she's just going with more and more severe bits. Don't get me wrong, I am an advocate for using a stronger bit less as opposed to a 'weaker' bit more (which results in the rider hanging off the horses mouth), but to do that you need to be incredibly conscious of what you're doing with your hands which I don't thing Meg is when she panics. Unfortunately she's so intent on getting to event after event that I don't think she'd be willing to relinquish a win to take it right back and go from the beginning.
An educational series from her and her bitting partner on thoughtful bitting would be incredible for her young viewers. I don't think a lot of kids understand how unpleasant a single link snaffle actually can be for the horse despite it being the default option, and a straight bar with a port looks more severe but it's actually more anatomically correct (random example, I'm not advocating for everyone to switch from snaffles to straight bars). I dunno, I just think she could do something very unique with her partners and influence but instead she's going to bit up and up and up and go for the next win.
