Admittedly, it's Brimming with Nonsense, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the time of year, it's perpetually fair game for criticism on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have rarely been so united as when eagerly tearing the series' earlier episodes to pieces. The general consensus held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the notorious snack re-labeling incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she is back once again with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a holiday episode). But this time, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – remain, but within the context of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The puzzle has come perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering 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 an interesting figure, but her presence is familiar and oddly reassuring. And she appears happy enough; she's inflicting a bit of damage.

She is aware her each tiny facial movement, utterance and gaze will be picked apart and judged, but still appears carefree and remarkably at ease.

It could be this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – could actually be true. Since, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Granted, it's all awkwardly over-the-top, nonsense and over the top – but is that not precisely what the holiday season is about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the walk she's walking seems authentically shop-bought.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with style. Her cooking looks tasty, the holiday arrangement she makes is breathtaking, her presents are almost too pretty to unwrap. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't toss a dish in the oven, it "goes for a spin", and she creases gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a crudites platter where broccoli is arranged in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan used to pretend for a living, obviously, but nonetheless, after the intensity of attention she has endured ever since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her refusal to change or even tone down her persona, regardless of it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will always know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying what she's selling, a reminder that will undoubtedly come as a relief: you aren't required to. We don't have the draft these days, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are gripped with jealousy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Whether you're a duchess or a office worker, hardly any child fully understands the effort and hard work their parent expends in December. So you can find comfort by imagining Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a sweet treat.
