Indeed, it's Brimming with Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Holiday Special.

No considering the season, it's constantly hunting season for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when gleefully ripping the lifestyle show's earlier episodes to pieces. The prevailing view seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Holiday Celebration" (aka a holiday episode). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – remain, but set of a yuletide episode, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come together; it's a flawless festive blizzard.

At this stage, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing 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 quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her all subtle gestures, word and look will be analyzed and criticised, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. The reason is, you know what?, everything in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is lovely. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and over the top – but is that not exactly what the holiday season is for? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the example she sets appears to be shop-bought.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with style. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the wreath she makes is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to open. Not a single thing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is artful and chic. She doesn't bung a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she folds gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself from start to finish. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, filled with festive joy and left with a deep longing for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the form of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the degree of scrutiny she has faced ever since she met Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to modify or even moderate her routine, regardless of it being so constantly, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our unpredictable world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're not yet convinced by her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you aren't required to. There isn't the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you decide to tune in and are gripped with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a duchess or a everyday person, few children fully understands the effort and hard work their mum puts in in the holiday season. So you can find comfort by imagining the young royals' faces when they reveal a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, rather than a sweet treat.
