The Duchess of Sussex, 44, announces a new matcha collaboration with a wellness drink brand associate described as “my favourite gal.” Multiple reports say Markle has been an investor in California-based Clevr Blends since December 2020. The articles also connect the investment to the period after Markle quits royal duties, presenting Clevr Blends as her first investment following that transition. The coverage focuses on Markle’s continued involvement with the wellness company and the announcement of a new matcha-related project. The reports do not provide further details on the specific terms of the collaboration, product lineup, or timing beyond referencing the ongoing relationship and the December 2020 investment date. Overall, the outlets agree on Markle’s investor status with Clevr Blends and frame the matcha partnership as a new step tied to that prior involvement.
