Megan Markle surprises viewers with her appearance in a promotional video for Clever Blends, a coffee brand she has invested in since 2020.
In the commercial, Megan takes on the role of an intern, engaging in various tasks such as stacking boxes, preparing hot drinks, and working on a computer in the digital department. The humorous final shot shows her comically failing to fist bump another team member, leading to laughter among the team before the video concludes.
The Instagram post by Clever Blends expresses gratitude for the overwhelming love and support received in 2023. The post acknowledges the busy times and the need for reinforcements, thanking everyone for contributing to the success of the brand. Megan's investment in Clever Blends dates back to December 2020, and her promotion of the company includes sending a basket of products to Oprah Winfrey, who shared the gesture online.
Despite being an investor since 2020, Megan has been relatively silent about her involvement with Clever Blends over the last three years. However, she shared a positive five-star review of the brand in November, posting a photo embracing CEO Hannah Mendoza. Clever Blends, based in Santa Barbara, California, aligns with Megan's values of supporting ethical ingredients and holistic wellness.
Fans, however, criticized Megan for her appearance in the ad, questioning her motives and sincerity. Some commented on the perceived lack of Royal behavior, accusing her of using the video to generate income. Others mentioned her recent rejections, such as Dior, and speculated about her standing with talent agency WME. Despite the mixed reactions, Clever Blends expressed gratitude for Megan's support and partnership.
