Meghan Markle announces a new matcha collaboration with Hannah Mendoza, co-founder of wellness drinks brand Clevr Blends, with whom she is presented as partnering following her investment in the company after leaving the Royal Family. Multiple outlets report that the recipe promotion includes a “matcha” preparation tip that features a fruit spread from Bonne Maman rather than an alternative product associated with Markle’s lifestyle brand, described as “As Ever.” The coverage characterizes the substitution as “awkward,” though it does not present additional evidence of a dispute or an official response from either party. The reports focus primarily on the matcha partnership announcement and the specific product shown in the featured recipe guidance. Outside of that detail, the articles do not add further information about commercial terms, timelines for product release, or broader changes to the partnership. The information is presented as promotional content connected to the collaboration and the recipe tip shared by Mendoza and circulated in connection with Markle’s announcement.
