Opera Winfrey gave Megan Markle a “Christmas present” for a luxury instant lad – just hours before Markle announced she was an investor in the brand.
In an Instagram video released early Monday morning, the millionaire billed himself as a “woman-led, mission-driven healthcare company” when he was shown a huge basket of gifts from Clever of California.
Markley and her husband Prince Harry have been close friends with Oprah and her PFF Gayle King for many years, and the couple live close to the media mogul at their $ 14 million mansion in Montecito, California.
In the clip, Odra cuts down on how to make one of the company’s oat milk and turmeric drinks. He titled it: “On the first day of Christmas my neighbor ‘M’ sent me … a basket is delicious!” He joined a crown emoji and did not say “yes that M” very subtly.
He added that the $ 28-a-bag drink was his “new drink for breakfast and dinner” and added, “If I had @clevrblends soon, I would have added it to my list of favorite things.”
It seems that Oprah was making her friend a serious solid. Hours after the video was released, Fortune magazine revealed that Markle had recently invested in Clever.
In a statement to page six, Markle said of her investment in the brand, led by co-founder and CEO Hannah Mendoza, “This investment is in favor of an aspiring female entrepreneur who prioritizes building community with her business.”
He added, “I am proud to invest in Hannah’s commitment to nurture ethical products and have a holistic approach to a product and health that I personally like. I trust her, I trust her company. “
Markle Clever is believed to have approached the group after trying out the Montechito-based company’s product, which debuted in 2017.
The representative for Markle declined to disclose how much money he had invested. Clever, which has six employees, now plans to invest to grow its business, which currently sells four types of instant lattes.
“Entrepreneurs need funding, but they also need consultants who are deeply concerned about what they are creating. I’m grateful to have found both of them at Duchess of Sussex,” Mendoza said. We’re happy to be on track. “
A source told page six that Markle was interested in supporting the female entrepreneurs who receive in general Less than 3% of the investment capital, despite being 40% of the business owners.
Markley and Harry are currently building their Archive charity base, while also finding ways to make their own money after leaving the royal family – including signing a multi-million dollar Netflix deal.
On Sunday night, Markle appeared on CNN’s “Heroes” special to pay tribute to the Govt-19 players.
Oprah and King attended the couple’s 2018 wedding, while the host of “CBS This Morning” went to Markle’s famous baby shower and met the couple at the Fragmore cottage in the UK before “Maxit”.
