No matter the time of year, it's constantly hunting season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the program's initial installments to shreds. The general consensus was that a greater royal outrage had seldom occurred than the notorious snack re-labeling incident. Now, like a merry renegade master, she has returned with a new offering with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a Christmas special). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, extreme hosting – remain, but set of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The puzzle has come together; it's a flawless festive blizzard. By this point, Meghan is like the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – offering unasked-for guidance, and contributing the periodic peculiar declaration. ("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 a bit of a character, but her company is customary and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's not doing any harm. She is aware her all subtle gestures, utterance and gaze will be analyzed and criticised, but nonetheless looks relaxed and remarkably at ease. Maybe this is the first occasion in history where that clichéd phrase – "Ignore them, they're just jealous" – may well be true. Because, in all honesty, each element in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Granted, it's all cringily ultra-extra, foolishness and over the top – but isn't that just what Yuletide is all about? And the words she speaks might be ridiculous, but the example she sets genuinely looks impeccably styled. Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she executes with panache. Her recipes looks tasty, the wreath she crafts is gorgeous, her presents are practically too exquisite to open. Nothing is ordinary or ugly – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be completely savoring herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by seasonal cheer and left with a intense desire for personalized Christmas crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the form of a wreath? Meghan was once an actress for a living, naturally, but despite that, after the degree of examination she has faced since she met Prince Harry, the love child of two legendary actresses would struggle to act this genuinely. Her unwillingness to alter or even tone down her routine, even though it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will be like this, no matter what. We will always know what to expect with her. If you're remaining skeptical of her message, a reminder that will surely come as a reassurance: you don't have to. The UK has abolished mandatory conscription these days, and if there were, it would be doubtful to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you choose to watch and are overcome with jealousy about her picture-perfect Christmas, you can take solace either. Be you a royal or a everyday person, no kid completely grasps the effort and hard work their parent does in December. So you can find comfort by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they open a handwritten message that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, rather than a chocolate.
