Meghan Markle was mocked by fans after they spotted an awkward detail in her latest collaboration. The Duchess of Sussex launched a new bundle with Clevr Blends, a vegan coffee brand she advises and invests in. The £47 matcha set, now sold out, includes As Ever's strawberry spread and flower sprinkles.
Fans Spot the Discrepancy
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Clevr Blends' website features a Strawberry Jam Cold Foam Matcha Latte recipe, but it recommends using Bonne Maman's Strawberry Preserve instead of Meghan's As Ever spread. One user wrote on X: "The current recipe for Strawberry Jam Matcha Latte on the Clevr website specifically calls for using Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserve, and NOT Meghan Markle’s runny white-label spread. Whoops."
Social Media Reactions
Another user blasted: "As amateur as it gets! Wow!" A third added: "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!" A fourth opined: "Bonne Maman preserves are amazing and don’t cost an arm and a leg." A fifth said: "You kidding !!! I have that preserve in my refrigerator it’s really good the shade! The shade!" A sixth wrote: "Now that is hilarious!! Having a company you supposedly invest in recommending ANOTHER BRAND of red goop when you're sitting on $millions$ of expiring inventory!!"
Background on the Collaboration
Clevr Blends is a vegan coffee brand known for its probiotic and adaptogen-packed coffees. Meghan appeared in a cameo for the company's advertising campaign in 2023. She announced the new collaboration on Instagram, saying she has proudly supported the brand for years and is thrilled about the partnership.
