Indeed, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for commentary on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the series' earlier episodes to shreds. The general consensus was that a more egregious regal scandal had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (aka a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – remain, but framed of a holiday show, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

At this stage, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – 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 a bit of a character, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's not doing a bit of damage.

She understands her every micro expression, utterance and glance will be picked apart and scrutinized, but still appears carefree and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – may well be true. The reason is, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is lovely. Admittedly, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent just what Christmas is about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with style. Her cooking looks delicious, the festive decoration she crafts is stunning, her gifts are practically too exquisite to unwrap. Nothing is average or aesthetically displeasing – including the way she secures her apron is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps gift paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself the entire time. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the intensity of scrutiny she has faced from the moment she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this authentically. Her refusal to change or even tone down her persona, even though it being so relentlessly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can depend on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a point that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you are not obligated to. We don't have national service these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be improbable to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are overcome with longing about her flawless Christmas, there is hope either. Be you a duchess or a office worker, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mum puts in in December. So you can take heart by envisioning the young royals' faces when they unfold a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, rather than a candy.
