In a surprising turn of events, Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself facing criticism for her acting skills.

The controversy arose after she appeared in an advertisement for Clever, a women-led wellness brand that sells powdered coffee.

The ad showcases Megan engaging in various tasks, such as packing boxes, making hot drinks, and working on a computer.

While some may argue that this marks a return to her acting career, others have been quick to throw shade at the Duchess.

Numerous Instagram users flooded the comments section, expressing their disappointment and mocking Megan for participating in a coffee ad after stepping down from her royal duties three years ago.

One user even remarked, “Guess this is her one-hour-a-week of work, from representing the late queen to a packer.”

However, what makes this situation even more bittersweet is the criticism that Megan’s acting skills received from someone within the industry.

According to a source at Royal Revelation, Bradley Cooper, known for his work in movies like “A Star is Born” alongside Lady Gaga, openly criticized Megan’s performance at the Maestro Premiere.

Lady Gaga herself attended the event to support her former co-star, Bradley Cooper, who was premiering his new film.

The actor, who is set to star in and direct Leonard Bernstein’s biopic on Netflix, has reportedly set high standards for the production.

One of the film’s producers, Christy McCosko, revealed that Bradley is a demanding person and had underestimated Megan’s acting abilities after watching the Clever ad.

For Megan, being reduced to a mere extra in an Instagram ad was not what she had envisioned when she decided to step away from the royal family.

Her intention was to monetize her title and royal connections, but it seems that the road to success has proven to be more challenging than she anticipated.

Critics argue that even though Megan’s involvement in the Clever ad generated significant attention and views, the brand should not have overshadowed the coffee itself by featuring her so prominently.

They point out that Megan’s multiple outfit changes and the disconnected fist bump in the video only served to draw attention away from the product.

Furthermore, some viewers found Megan’s portrayal of an intern to be unconvincing and insincere.

They believe that her depiction of an overworked, stressed-out, and unsmiling workhorse was a poor attempt to mimic the behavior of her own interns.

This led to speculations about the authenticity of the entire promotion, suggesting that it was primarily done to boost Megan’s confidence as an investor in the company.

Critics question why a simple Instagram video was considered an appropriate way to thank and introduce the team.

They argue that a more meaningful gesture, such as fair compensation, non-mandatory fun events, or a genuine show of appreciation, would have been more fitting.

In the end, Megan’s foray into acting again has sparked controversy and criticism.

As she navigates her post-royal career, it remains to be seen how she will overcome these challenges and find success in a world where her every move is closely scrutinized.
