Admittedly, it's Packed with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. But I Do Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly open season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the program's earlier episodes to pieces. The common opinion was that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (also known as a holiday episode). But this time, it's different. The standard components we've come to expect – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – persist, but within the context of a holiday show, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come together; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering random tips, and supplying the occasional strange exclamation. ("I love spinach!" … "A tradition has to have a beginning." … "A tree is part of my memory and love of the holiday season.") She's an interesting figure, but her aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she appears content; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, utterance and look will be analyzed and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Since, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and over the top – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with panache. Her recipes looks scrumptious, the wreath she crafts is breathtaking, her presents are practically too exquisite to tear into. Nothing is average or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she fastens her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she creases wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the form of a festive circle?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, of course, but despite that, after the degree of examination she has weathered from the moment she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this authentically. Her decision to modify or even soften her routine, regardless of it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our uncertain world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a reminder that will certainly come as a relief: you are not obligated to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are overcome with envy about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a duchess or a data administrator, hardly any child truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent expends in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by picturing the young royals' faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a candy.
