Admittedly, it's Packed with Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Christmas Special.

No matter the time of year, it's constantly open season for criticism on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the program's initial installments to pieces. The prevailing view was that a greater royal outrage had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Christmas Special" (or a yuletide episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The standard components audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – are still present, but framed of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

By this point, Meghan is like the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – providing unasked-for guidance, and contributing 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 strangely comforting. And she looks happy enough; she's not doing the slightest hurt.

She is aware her every micro expression, syllable and glance will be analyzed and scrutinized, but still appears unburdened and too blessed to be stressed.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, let's face it, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels lovely. Yes, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, foolishness and over the top – but is that not precisely what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks shop-bought.

Anything she sets her mind to, she executes with panache. Her culinary efforts looks tasty, the wreath she makes is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – even the way she secures her apron is creative and fashionable. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "has a moment", and she wraps wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, bursting with festive joy and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is organized in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of examination she has faced ever since she met Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to change or even tone down her persona, regardless of it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will always know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a thought that will surely come as a comfort: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription anymore, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are gripped with longing about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, few children 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 reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a candy.
