Indeed, it's Brimming with Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the time of year, it's constantly fair game for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the program's earlier episodes to shreds. The general consensus held that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Now, as a festive rebel, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, it's different. The standard components audiences anticipate – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The elements have slid into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan resembles the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unasked-for guidance, 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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's not doing any harm.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and glance will be picked apart and judged, but still appears unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Because, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and over the top – but isn't that precisely what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be ridiculous, but the example she sets genuinely looks shop-bought.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with panache. Her recipes looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she crafts is gorgeous, her gifts are practically too exquisite to tear into. Nothing is ordinary or ugly – even the way she ties her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, overcome by festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the form of a wreath?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the degree of examination she has faced ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, even a hypothetical offspring of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this genuinely. Her decision to alter or even tone down her routine, despite it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can rely 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 thought that will undoubtedly come as a reassurance: you aren't required to. We don't have the draft anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be doubtful to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are consumed by envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, few children truly appreciates the dedication and labor their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by picturing her children's 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.
