The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, 42, recently appeared in an advertising campaign for the latest Clevr Blends (a tea and coffee wellness company) campaign. In the video posted to Instagram, the brand's CEO and co-founder, Hannah Mendoza, takes viewers on a brief tour around their headquarters (HQ), where Markle frequently appears.

As Mendoza walks through different sections of their HQ, giving thanks and credit to her teams for their work, explaining their processes, and making occasional jokes, Markle is seen in several scenes.

The Duchess packed lattes, worked on a computer, handed Mendoza a beverage from the fridge, and finally walked out of the building while on the phone, but not before giving a fist bump to another team member.

According to a news outlet, the campaign cameo by Markle, a Clevr Blends investor, marks the first public investment she has made since she and her husband, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, left their royal life behind.

Author Omid Scobie says that while Markle has made peace with their decision and focuses her attention on the future, Prince Harry still struggles to accept their decision in finality.

Last month, Scobie asserted that the Duke of Sussex still has unfinished business with his royal life, specifically concerning the British press and his strained relationships with his family. While speaking on this, Scobie stated, "With Harry, there's a reluctant acceptance that this is just who his father is. He would rather have that in his life than to cut it off completely..."

Although Markle and her husband have sought financial independence and have essentially left their royal life behind, they still reach out to the royal family, particularly King Charles III. Scobie said even though Prince Harry is the one to reach out primarily, Markle sends photos of her and Prince Harry's kids to the King.
