Indeed, it's Full of Absurdity, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Psychobabble. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's perpetually open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to pieces. The general consensus seemed to be a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back once again with a "Festive Special" (or a holiday episode). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The pieces have fallen perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

At this stage, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – 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 company is customary and strangely comforting. And she seems content; she's causing any harm.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, word and look will be dissected and judged, but manages to seem relaxed and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – may well be true. Because, in all honesty, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and flamboyant – but is that not precisely what Yuletide is all about? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the walk she's walking seems authentically shop-bought.

Anything she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she pulls off with flair. Her culinary efforts looks delicious, the holiday arrangement she creates is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Nothing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she fastens her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be convinced, filled with holiday spirit and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the shape of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the degree of attention she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this genuinely. Her refusal to alter or even soften her shtick, regardless of it being so constantly, globally mocked, is oddly heartening. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will consistently know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a reminder that will surely come as a relief: you don't have to. There isn't national service these days, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are consumed by jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Whether you're a royal or a everyday person, few children fully understands the effort and hard work their mum expends in the holiday season. So you can take heart by imagining her children's faces when they unfold a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a chocolate.
