Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the season, it's always fair game for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the notorious pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned for another round with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The usual elements viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, extreme hosting – persist, but framed of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the quirky relative at the typical holiday get-together – providing unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 quite a personality, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's inflicting any harm.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, syllable and look will be dissected and judged, but manages to seem relaxed and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. The reason is, you know what?, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and flamboyant – but is that not exactly what the holiday season is about? And the talk she's talking might be ridiculous, but the example she sets genuinely looks shop-bought.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with flair. Her culinary efforts looks tasty, the festive decoration she creates is gorgeous, her gifts are almost too pretty to unwrap. Not a single thing is ordinary or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she ties her apron is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a meal in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she creases wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, overcome by festive joy and left with a intense desire for handmade crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, naturally, but even so, after the intensity of scrutiny she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would find it hard to appear this authentically. Her unwillingness to change or even soften her routine, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is oddly heartening. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, come what may. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her brand, a thought that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. There isn't the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be doubtful to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are gripped with envy about her picture-perfect Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a royal or a data administrator, few children fully understands the dedication and labor their mother puts in in December. So you can console yourself by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a candy.
