Megan Markle Goes Back to Acting Roots with Clever Coffee Brand

Megan Markle, known for her royal ties, has made a surprising return to her acting roots by starring in a social media advertisement for the American coffee brand Clever.

The ad showcases Megan as a part owner of the brand, which promotes superpowered lattes designed to boost energy, reduce stress, and aid in sleep.

The Instagram ad features Clever Founder Hannah Mendoza alongside the Duchess, showing her engaging in various tasks at the Clever offices, from working on the computer to packing boxes and running errands.

Despite the seemingly positive collaboration, reactions from social media users have been mixed, with some labeling the ad as cringy.

One user humorously remarked that it was the most work Megan had done all year, while others criticized her involvement, questioning why she would settle for a minor role in an Instagram ad given her Hollywood connections.

Interestingly, not only has Megan ventured into the world of coffee promotion, but media mogul Oprah Winfrey has also joined the ranks by endorsing Clever.

This move comes after Winfrey famously conducted the first sit-down interview with Megan and Prince Harry following their departure from the royal family and relocation to the United States.

While Megan and Harry's decision to step back from their royal duties may have stirred controversy in the UK, it has undeniably proven to be financially rewarding for the couple.

Reports suggest that they have amassed a substantial $100 million through various partnerships, including deals with Netflix, Spotify, and Harry's upcoming memoir.

Hannah Mendoza, the CEO of Clever, has commended Megan for her contributions as the company's first investor, advisor, and staunch advocate.

The media has speculated that Megan's influence has significantly boosted Clever's market value, with rumors suggesting that she could command up to $45,000 for a single social media endorsement.

In a surprising turn of events, Clever products are now hitting the shelves at Target stores across the United States, marking a significant milestone for the brand.

Despite the excitement surrounding Megan's involvement, skeptics question whether her appearance in the ad alone could drive such a surge in sales.

Clever blends are priced at $11.99 at Target, a considerable discount compared to the $28 listed on their website.

However, recent reports indicate a downturn in Clever's sales, with a significant 30% decline following Megan's commercial ad.

CEO Hannah Mendoza is reportedly displeased with the outcome and has demanded $300,000 in compensation from Megan, citing damage to the brand's reputation.

Speculation is rife that Megan may take a step back from the spotlight, allowing Prince Harry to take the lead in future business ventures.

Despite rumors suggesting a potential collaboration with a French fashion house, insiders have refuted these claims, asserting that Megan's focus remains on her acting and business endeavors.

As Megan navigates the complexities of her post-royal life, it seems that her foray into the world of endorsements and business ventures has encountered its fair share of challenges and setbacks.
