The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has put her acting skills to good use with a new look in an advert for Clevr Coffee. The ad, which features Meghan as an extra in the background, has been praised and slammed by fans of the royal family.
Meghan has been an investor in the Clevr brand since 2020 and has promoted their products in the past, even sending a basket to Oprah Winfrey. It is her first public investment since stepping out of the royal family with Prince Harry in 2020.

Meghan channeled her acting skills for an Instagram ad for Clevr Coffee, a coffee company in which she is an investor. The former actress poses as an intern in the short clip as CEO Hannah Mendoza walks around the headquarters, thanking team members for their hard work throughout the year.
The Duchess of Sussex is shown sorting boxes, making drinks, and using a computer for a coffee shop. At the end of the video, Meghan hilariously fails to punch another team member, which causes everyone in the video to laugh as it ends. The mother-of-two was shown wearing a gray designer hoodie from the company and black jeans.
Clevr Coffee posted the ad on their Instagram page with the caption, “D—, you’re keeping us BUSY right now! Had to call in some reinforcements. So thankful for the incredible love and support this year—thanks for helping us keep the latte-loving dream alive and thriving! xo.”
Royal Fans Divided Over Meghan Markle’s Coffee Ad Appearance
Royal fans were quick to react to the funny coffee ad, with many praising Meghan for supporting the brand and others criticizing her involvement in the video.
One wrote, “Always willing to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. We love a duchess who works hard.” Another said, “The most diligent person. Extend my love to him.”
A third fan said: “Wait! the duchess is in all the frames. When I watch [it] last night, i swear i only saw it at the end. I really like this.” A fourth wrote, “New officers are eligible for pay raises and bonuses and benefits. She is a multitasking Queen. Clearly.”
Amidst all the praise, some felt the look of the coffee ad was beneath the Duchess of Sussex.
Someone wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “He’s a background extra in a low-budget SOCIAL MEDIA COMMERCIAL…. not even a cable TV ad. How far he has fallen from royal palaces to internet ads.”
The Duchess Invests In Clevr Brand

Meghan first announced her investment in the coffee brand in December 2020 but did not disclose the amount. Clevr Coffee has gained popularity for its range of lattes which are available in powder form for easy brewing and drinking. The company was co-founded by Mendoza in January 2019.
Meghan’s investment in Clevr is her first public investment since she and Prince Harry officially stepped down as royals in 2020. At the time of her investment, the duchess also promoted the coffee company on Instagram. She also sent baskets of Clevr products to her neighbor and friend, Oprah Winfrey, who posted them on her own page.
The duchess also shared a clip from her visit to the company on Instagram, showing herself sipping a cup of their coffee. In November, Meghan posted a glowing five-star review about the company and their coffee products. She shared a photo of herself and Mendoza hugging and smiling brightly with the caption, “One of my favorite ways to start and end each day.”
Meghan Markle Proudly Supports Founder

Meghan first learned about Clevr when she tried the brand’s superfood coffee in 2017. She came across it when Mendoza was selling at a pop-up shop before she created the powdered mix that the company now sells. Clevr’s headquarters are officially based in Santa Barbara, California, near Meghan and Harry’s home in Montecito.
In 2019, Meghan made a statement about the investment to Fortune. He said, per Daily Mail, “This investment is to support a passionate female entrepreneur who prioritizes building community alongside her business. I’m proud to invest in Hannah’s commitment to ethically sourcing ingredients and creating products that I personally love and have a holistic approach to health. I believe in him and I believe in his company.”
Mendoza also spoke about the Duchess’ investment and thanked her for her support and partnership. He said: “Entrepreneurs need funding, but they also need advisers who care deeply about what they’re building. I’m grateful to have found both in the Duchess of Sussex.”
