Meghan Markle wears £135 Cos cashmere jumper, £154 black jeans and branded hoodie as she makes surprise appearance as ‘intern’ in Clevr advert
Meghan Markle appears to have rediscovered the high street as she donned a £135 Cos cashmere jumper for a surprise appearance in a Clevr advert.
The Duchess of Sussex – who is known for her love of designer fashion – has been an investor in the California-based oat latte company since 2020 and has put her acting skills to use in their latest Instagram post.
In the 30-second clip, company co-founder Hannah Mendoza can be seen walking through the building and describing how they had to “call in reinforcements” to cope with the busy holiday season.
In the background, the royal mother-of-two, 42, can be seen packing boxes and wearing the company’s branded hoodie.
The gray sweatshirt – which is not for sale – was a collaboration between Clevr and Loud Flower Art, another Santa Barbara company.

The oversized hoodie features a light blue illustration on the back of a moon and sun watching a Clevr brew being poured into a mug.
Later in the video, Meghan quickly shoots the camera as she fist bumps another employee.
While holding two bags of the brand’s matcha superlatte mix, the Duchess wears a light blue cashmere sweater from Cos.
The high street item – which costs £135 – features a ribbed neckline and cuffs.
Meghan paired the knit with $195 (£154) black skinny jeans from La Ligne, a fashion brand founded by former Vogue editors and based in New York.
The Duchess completed her outfit with her Celine ‘Triomphe’ sunglasses, which cost another £400.
Meghan undergoes another outfit change and elsewhere in the video she sits at a desk.
The former Suits actress wore the same black designer jeans for this scene and sipped from a $30 white metal water bottle from the company Simply Modern.

At another point in the video, Meghan goes to the office refrigerator and makes sure Clevr’s latte thermos is in full view of the camera.
For this short scene, the Duchess appears to be wearing a padded jacket, presumably from designer Moncler.
Clevr Blends posted the video to Instagram today with the caption: ‘Damn, you’re keeping us BUSY now! I had to call in some reinforcements.
‘So grateful for the outpouring of love and support this year – thank you for helping us keep the latte-loving dream alive and thriving!xo’

Meghan confirmed in December 2020 that she had invested an undisclosed amount in Clevr Brands, which has a range of powdered lattes.
And around that time, the former senior royal used her connections to promote the company, which was founded in January 2019 and is run by CEO Hannah Mendoza, by sending a basket of products to her neighbor Oprah Winfrey, who shared the products online.
While the Duchess visited the company and shared a short video of her trip to Instagram earlier this year, with footage of herself sipping a cup of the hot stuff, she has remained fairly silent about the investment for the past three years.
She shared a glowing five-star review of the line in November. The former cable actress posted a photo of herself hugging Mendoza and wrote of the series, “One of my favorite ways to start and end every day.”
Clevr is based in Santa Barbara, California. Meghan came across it by apparently tasting its superfood coffee in 2017, when the founder sold it at a pop-up shop before creating the at-home blend she now sells.
It also happens to be located near Montecito, where Harry and Meghan live.
In a statement to Fortune confirming the investment in 2019, Meghan said: “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 sourcing ethical ingredients and creating a product that I personally love and that takes a holistic approach to wellness. I believe in her and I believe in her company.”
