Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, has caused a stir by appearing in an unusual ad for Clevr Blends, the coffee brand in which she invested in 2020 after moving away from the British royals.
With a lot of humor, the actress played a trainee intern performing office tasks, in a cameo that has aroused the enthusiasm of her followers.
Meghan Markle’s coffee commercial for Clevr Blends
The spot, shared by the company itself on its Instagram profile, shows a relaxed Meghan Markle integrating into the day-to-day life of a small office.
The duchess appears stacking boxes, pouring cups of coffee, or typing in front of the computer.
At the end of the ad, when she pretends to bump fists with a colleague in celebration, both mistimed their fists causing the laughter of other employees and closing the advertising piece with humor.
Clevr Blends highlighted in the post that they had had to ask for reinforcements due to the high demand of orders at this time of the year, in clear reference to Meghan Markle’s participation, which is a real boost for this small company based in California in which it invested two years ago, attracted by its commitment to wellness and ethical ingredients.

Since then, Prince Harry’s wife has rarely promoted this women-run hot drinks business, in line with her interest in supporting female entrepreneurship.
Her unexpected appearance once again corroborates her support for Clevr Blends.
The company’s CEO, Hannah Mendoza, has said she feels very fortunate to have Meghan Markle’s support since the company’s inception, underlining the importance of her passion for the project she has embarked on.
Comments for and against
The video of Meghan Markle acting as an intern for the Clevr Blends brand sparked all kinds of comments.
One surprised user who couldn’t believe Markle’s involvement in the video; “Wait what is happening here? is that who I think it is?” One of the comments that received many ‘likes’ was from a user who said; “The new hire deserves a raise and bonus and benefits. She is a multitasking Queen. Clearly.” Another user highlighted Meghan’s entrepreneurial side; “Always willing to roll up her sleeves and do the work. We love a hardworking duchess,” Meghan Markle’s influence was evident when another user commented; “Omg, this is absolutely brilliant love the Meg cameo! I’m about to stock up on some Clevr.”
But there were also some comments against the Duchess of Sussex for her participation in the funny video.
One user implied that Meghan’s image is negative for the brand; “How to lose customers? Meghan!” Another user went further and commented; “Cringe. Why pick such an awful and fake person for your ad?” The comments went up a notch when one user wrote; “I’d never buy anything from this hag since you’re associated with the queen of narcissistic grifting.”
There is no doubt that Meghan raises passions in the networks and her detractors chase her wherever she goes. But the comments in favor of the Duchess of Sussex acting were the majority and the most supported.
