Indeed, it's Full of Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Adore Meghan's Holiday Special.

No concerned with the season, it's always fair game for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have seldom found such common ground as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's initial installments apart. The common opinion was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had hardly ever taken place than the now-infamous pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she makes a comeback with a new offering with a "Festive Special" (also known as a Christmas special). Yet now, things have shifted. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – remain, but framed of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a ideal seasonal storm.

Now, Meghan is like the oddball family member at most festive family gatherings – dispensing 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 an interesting figure, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she looks happy enough; she's not doing a bit of damage.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, syllable and gaze will be analyzed and judged, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Maybe this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. The reason is, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Admittedly, it's all painfully excessive, foolishness and extravagant – but isn't that precisely what Christmas is about? And the advice she gives might be laughable, but the life she leads genuinely looks beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she pulls off with flair. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the festive decoration she makes is stunning, her presents are almost too pretty to unwrap. Not a single thing is average or ugly – including the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she folds wrapping paper like an paper-folding expert. She also seems to be genuinely relishing herself throughout. How could any cynical observer not be charmed, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where greens is organized in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but even so, after the level of scrutiny she has endured from the moment she started dating Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this authentically. Her decision to modify or even tone down her shtick, even though it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, come what may. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a reminder that will certainly come as a relief: you don't have to. The UK has abolished national service in this country, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are consumed by jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, all is not lost either. If you are a royal or a everyday person, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their parent expends in December. So you can find comfort by imagining the young royals' faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a DIY festive calendar, instead of a sweet treat.
