Meghan Markle dons £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 for the California-based oat latte company since 2020 and flexed her acting skills in their latest Instagram post.
In the 30-second clip, the company’s co-founder Hannah Mendoza can be seen walking around the premises and describing how they’ve 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 grey sweatshirt – which is not available to buy – was a partnership between Clevr and Loud Flower Art company, which is another Santa Barbara-based business.

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

At another point in the video, Meghan then goes over to the office fridge and ensures that Clevr’s latte thermos is in full view of the camera.
For this short scene, the Duchess appears to be wearing a padded jacket – believed to be by the designer Moncler.
Clevr Blends posted the video on Instagram today with the caption: ‘Damn, you’re keeping us BUSY right now! Had to call in some reinforcements.
‘So grateful for the immense love and support this year—thanks for helping us keep the latte-loving dream alive, and thriving!xo’

Meghan confirmed in December 2020 that she had invested an undisclosed sum in Clevr Brands, which has a range of lattes that come in powder form.
And around the 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 neighbour Oprah Winfrey, who shared the products online.
While the Duchess has visited the company, sharing a short video from her trip on Instagram earlier this year, which featured footage of herself sipping on a cup of the hot stuff, she has been fairly silent about the investment over the last three years.
She shared a glowing five-star review of the line in November. Posting a photo of herself embracing Mendoza, the former cable actress wrote of the range: ‘One of my favourite ways to start and end each day.’
Clevr is based in Santa Barbara, California. Meghan came across it by apparently sampling its superfood coffee in 2017, when the founder was selling it at a pop-up store before creating the at-home blend she now sells.
It also happens to be based near Montecito, where Harry and Meghan live.
In a statement to Fortune confirming the investment in 2019, Meghan said: ‘This investment is in support of 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 has a holistic approach to wellness. I believe in her and I believe in her company.’
