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

No considering the season, it's constantly fair game for scrutiny on the Duchess of Sussex's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, expert and amateur alike, have seldom found such common ground as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's first and second seasons to shreds. The prevailing view held that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had seldom occurred than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she is back for another round with a "Holiday Celebration" (also known as a Christmas special). But this time, the dynamic has changed. The standard components we've come to expect – psychobabble word salads, overzealous entertaining – persist, but set of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

By this point, Meghan resembles the oddball family member at the typical holiday get-together – offering unsolicited, unnecessary advice, 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 any harm.

She knows her each tiny facial movement, word and glance will be picked apart and criticised, but manages to seem carefree and remarkably at ease.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that old chestnut – "Don't listen, it's pure jealousy" – might be true. The reason is, let's face it, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, silliness and extravagant – but doesn't that represent exactly what Christmas is all about? And the talk she's talking might be absurd, but the life she leads seems authentically shop-bought.

Whatever she attempts, she accomplishes with panache. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she creates is gorgeous, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Not a single thing is average or visually unappealing – including the way she fastens her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a meal in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any skeptical viewer not be won over, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a deep longing for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where broccoli is positioned in the form of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but even so, after the level of attention she has endured from the moment she met Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would have difficulty behaving this naturally. Her decision to alter or even tone down her persona, even though it being so relentlessly, widely parodied, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will consistently know our position with her.

If you're not yet convinced by what she's selling, a thought that will surely come as a reassurance: you are not obligated to. There isn't mandatory conscription these days, and should it be reinstated, it would be unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you choose to watch and are overcome with longing about her flawless Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a royal or a office worker, hardly any child completely grasps the effort and hard work their parent does in December. So you can console yourself by envisioning the young royals' faces when they reveal a beautifully scripted letter that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a chocolate.
