A red carpet?! But she's not allowed red, as shown by the wedding blue carpet/bare floor thing and then that video of her being directed to walk beside the red carpet instead of on it with Harry.
I mean... they know she's not royal, don't they? She just married some guy. It's all words, really. I could legally change my name to Duchess Spicy if I wanted to. She doesn't live a royal life.

I appreciate you watching for us, @StartupRepair !

Dear @StartupRepair, thank you for watching this for us! It's got to be excruciating.

I'm guessing it has 4 chambers, like everyone's?

We love Australia, I'm such a MasterChef fan. She taught herself how to cook through watching cooking shows. Loves fresh herbs. Harry likes meat and potatoes being from the UK.

That's brilliant! 😂
Has she mentioned how much he likes sausages?

Baital · 26/07/2026 10:10

And fruit spread, of course...

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:11

Lots of laughter and patting people on the arm. She reveals the food for the task by pulling a red velvet curtain. Bit like Deal or no deal.

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:16

She is being shown around the pantry and enthusing about everything. What would she cook?Something meaningful, pesto with carrot tops or fish, so many things. Being very sweet and smiley to everyone.On and on about connection and family.

mum2jakie · 26/07/2026 10:18

What channel is Masterchief Australia on?

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:19

The contestants and judges are beside themselves with excitement.one guy madly decides to make celeriac icecream. Meghan says she is very excited.

They are calling her one of the biggest superstars

She's not a superstar, she's just a very silly woman! 🤣

That is what I think too.

@ShamedBySiri, I agree, but I don’t think CS would have an issue with family photos of their visit being posted by Meghan, I doubt he put an embargo on it, yet the only photo of Althorp she posted is the one of them on their way to Diana’s grave. Same with the photo of her and the dog at the Montecito pool, putting that dark vignette around the edge of the photo, obscuring Charles and his new wife, trolling just enough to entice people to look at it in depth.

I disagree @Thedom
It was very generous of Charles Spencer to host them considering all the security issues that accompany them, and all the hysterical will they/won't they come that had preceded their arrival. He has considerable security concerns, not just for Diana's grave site but the many valuable items in the home as well. Of course it is open to the public but presumably (I've not been there) a limited area of the house. It's up to him if he posts pictures of particular items etc on line, I do follow him on instagram, he posts lovely scenic views, occasional old photos, some paintings, some of the estate activities etc. Which is different than a guest posting say a picture of the sitting room or their guest bedroom or them all sitting down to tea in the garden or whatever. I just think a private visit should remain private and pictures generally avoided anyway.
And the whole of their visit was clouded in secrecy, no one knew when or where they arrived, where they were staying etc. Which is as it should be for security reasons. Except she just had to let it be known they stayed at Althorp.
Very poor show imo but entirely predictable.

They have made a special banana bread for her because she made it last time she was in Australia. The 4 male contestants are completely smitten by her. 'She has such an aura about her'.

FenellaFeldman · 26/07/2026 10:28

"global icon"
😂😂😂

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:33

Talking about her show. 'we had so much fun on my show. It's about cooking for joy and fun but stakes not high like they are here.' she goes to each contestant individually to bat her eyelashes and tell them they have 30 minutes left.

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:43

'i love that you're thinking about me' when a contestant says his dish is reflecting what she likes. Lots of hair flicking.

Just hearing your description is nauseating ! , it must be painful viewing for you startup! ( please keep going! 😁 )

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 10:57

She is giggling away with Sofia who is the most annoying judge.She loves how supportive the contestants are of each other.
Oh God, dh now saying he understands why she and Harry left and made a wonderful new life.

Aur0raAustralis · 26/07/2026 10:59

@StartupRepair Thanks for reporting back!

I'm watching the Lego Masters finale instead. I wonder if Meghan's episode was planned for tonight to compete with that - and which show will rate better.

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 11:03

She speaks very fluently, uses all the cooking terms and gazes into the contestants' eyes. Wonder if this an audition for US MasterChef.

StartupRepair · 26/07/2026 11:05

'H would love this dish'.
