Yes, it's Full of Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's constantly fair game for criticism on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed snack re-labeling incident.

Presently, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback once again with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – remain, but within the context of a yuletide episode, the purpose becomes clear. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – providing unasked-for guidance, and delivering the odd random outburst. ("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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she appears happy enough; she's not doing any harm.

She understands her every micro expression, utterance and glance will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks relaxed and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Since, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but doesn't that represent exactly what Yuletide is about? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the example she sets appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she attempts, she accomplishes with flair. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she makes is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Nothing is average or ugly – including the way she ties her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, filled with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is arranged in the likeness of a festive circle?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the level of examination she has weathered since she started dating Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this naturally. Her decision to change or even moderate her routine, regardless of it being so relentlessly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will consistently know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a point that will surely come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. We don't have national service in this country, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are consumed by envy about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. If you are a duchess or a everyday person, hardly any child completely grasps the effort and hard work their parent does in December. So you can find comfort by envisioning Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a chocolate.
