Indeed, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's always open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the program's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus was that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but framed of a holiday show, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unsolicited, unnecessary advice, 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears pleased; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be analyzed and judged, but nonetheless looks unburdened and remarkably at ease.

Perhaps this is the first occasion in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. Since, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels delightful. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and over the top – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with flair. Her cooking looks delicious, the wreath she crafts is stunning, her presents are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – even the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, 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 charmed, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where greens is arranged in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, of course, but even so, after the degree of examination she has endured since she met Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this authentically. Her unwillingness to alter or even soften her routine, despite it being so persistently, widely parodied, is strangely reassuring. In our unpredictable world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a reminder that will surely come as a comfort: you don't have to. The UK has abolished national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are overcome with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, no kid truly appreciates the time and energy their parent puts in in December. So you can find comfort by imagining the young royals' faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, in place of a candy.
