Indeed, it's Full of Absurdity, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Cherish Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the season, it's perpetually hunting season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the program's initial installments to pieces. The common opinion held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback for another round with a "Christmas Special" (aka a Christmas special). However on this occasion, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – vague self-help platitudes, intense hospitality – remain, but set of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan has become the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – offering unsolicited, unnecessary advice, and supplying 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 aura is known and oddly reassuring. And she appears pleased; she's causing the slightest hurt.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and gaze will be picked apart and scrutinized, but nonetheless looks unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the only time in history where that old chestnut – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – could actually be true. Since, let's face it, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is charming. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and flamboyant – but isn't that exactly what Christmas is all about? And the words she speaks might be absurd, but the example she sets appears to be impeccably styled.

Anything she attempts, she pulls off with style. Her cooking looks tasty, the wreath she crafts is stunning, her gifts are almost too pretty to open. Nothing is mediocre or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is creative and fashionable. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be completely savoring herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, bursting with holiday spirit and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the shape of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her refusal to modify or even moderate her persona, despite it being so persistently, globally mocked, is strangely reassuring. In our uncertain world, here is one thing we can count on: Meghan will be like this, come what may. We will consistently know what to expect with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of what she's selling, a thought that will surely come as a relief: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, conversely, you willingly check it out and are consumed by jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a duchess or a data administrator, hardly any child completely grasps the time and energy their parent expends in December. So you can console yourself by picturing 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 chocolate.
