Indeed, it's Packed with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. Yet I Truly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the season, it's constantly hunting season for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the series' earlier episodes to pieces. The common opinion held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a Christmas special). However on this occasion, it's different. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at most festive family gatherings – offering unasked-for guidance, 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 quite a personality, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She understands her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be analyzed and judged, but nonetheless looks relaxed and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that well-worn saying – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – might be true. The reason is, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and flamboyant – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is for? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the walk she's walking genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with flair. Her cooking looks tasty, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to unwrap. Not a single thing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she wraps gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, naturally, but even so, after the degree of examination she has faced ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this naturally. Her decision to change or even tone down her routine, regardless of it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her brand, a reminder that will certainly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. There isn't national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are consumed by longing about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a office worker, few children completely grasps the effort and hard work their mother does in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning her children's faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
