No concerned with the season, it's constantly open season for scrutiny on the Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Reviewers, expert and amateur alike, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when eagerly tearing the lifestyle show's initial installments to pieces. The common opinion seemed to be a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.
Presently, like a merry renegade master, she makes a comeback once again with a "Christmas Special" (also known as a Christmas special). Yet now, things have shifted. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, overzealous entertaining – are still present, but within the context of a Christmas special, it all clicks into place. The pieces have fallen into place; it's a flawless festive blizzard.
At this stage, Meghan is like the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – 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 quite a personality, but her presence is familiar and unexpectedly soothing. And she appears pleased; she's causing the slightest hurt.
She is aware her all subtle gestures, utterance and look will be dissected and judged, but manages to seem carefree and remarkably at ease.
It could be this is the first occasion in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. Because, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration is delightful. Yes, it's all cringily ultra-extra, silliness and flamboyant – but is that not just what the holiday season is about? And the words she speaks might be laughable, but the example she sets seems authentically beautifully curated.
Whatever she turns her beautifully manicured, diamond-adorned hand to, she accomplishes with panache. Her cooking looks scrumptious, the holiday arrangement she creates is stunning, her gifts are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Nothing is mediocre or visually unappealing – including the way she secures her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't toss a dish in the microwave, it "goes for a spin", and she folds wrapping paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any hate-watcher not be convinced, filled with seasonal cheer and left with a powerful yearning for personalized Christmas crackers or a crudites platter where greens is positioned in the likeness of a festive circle?
Meghan was once an actress for a living, obviously, but even so, after the degree of examination she has weathered from the moment she became involved with Prince Harry, a theoretical combination of two legendary actresses would find it hard to appear this naturally. Her decision to modify or even soften her persona, despite it being so constantly, globally mocked, is weirdly comforting. In our volatile world, here is one thing we can rely on: Meghan will stay true to form, no matter what. We will consistently know where we are with her.
If you're still not buying her message, a point that will surely 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 unlikely to include viewing With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, however, you willingly check it out and are consumed by envy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a duchess or a data administrator, hardly any child fully understands the dedication and labor their mum expends in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by envisioning the young royals' faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a homemade Advent calendar, instead of a chocolate.
