Yes, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. But I Do Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No matter the season, it's constantly open season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's first and second seasons apart. The prevailing view seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had never been witnessed than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Currently, as a festive rebel, she is back with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). But this time, it's different. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a holiday show, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – offering unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and supplying the periodic peculiar declaration. ("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 pleased; she's inflicting the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, word and look will be picked apart and scrutinized, but still appears carefree and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and extravagant – but is that not precisely what Yuletide is about? And the talk she's talking might be ridiculous, but the walk she's walking seems authentically impeccably styled.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with panache. Her cooking looks delicious, the holiday arrangement she crafts is breathtaking, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Nothing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "has a moment", and she creases wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the intensity of examination she has weathered ever since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to alter or even moderate her persona, even though it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will forever know our position with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a thought that will certainly come as a relief: you aren't required to. There isn't mandatory conscription anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are gripped with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a royal or a data administrator, few children completely grasps the time and energy their mother puts in in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by envisioning the young royals' faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a candy.
