Kim Kardashian gets behind Meghan Markle's vegan coffee startup

Kim Kardashian took a brief break from posting selfies on Monday - to back Meghan Markle's vegan coffee startup.

The reality star followed in Oprah Winfrey's footsteps by sharing a picture of a basket filled with expensive Clevr Blends coffee.

Meghan has invested in the California-based female-led company - which makes "superfood infused" powdered oatmilk lattes. They don't come cheap, at $28, or £20, for 14 sachets of "superlatte".

But while Oprah gleefully made it clear Meghan herself had dropped off the goodies, Kim instead tagged designer pal Stacey Bendet's fashion brand Alice + Olivia and thanked it for the gift.

For her part Oprah is said to have enraged the palace by crediting the contents to her "neighbour M", tagging a crown emoji and gleefully telling fans "Yes that M".

Oprah gushed: "My new drink of choice for the morning and night. Wish I had @clevrblends sooner cause I would’ve added it to my Favourite Things list."

The following day, without divulging her stake, former actress Meghan confirmed her investment in the brand: "in support of a passionate female entrepreneur who prioritises building community alongside her business."

Oprah, 66, attended Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry and later spoke out in defence of the couple's decision to quit their royal roles and leave the UK.

She said at the time: 'When a person has thought: 'What is the best decision to make for my family?' and then he makes that decision, none of us have any right to say anything about that."

Meanwhile the gift basket is just the latest treat to land on Kim's doorstep, as she is showered in Christmas pressies from her famous pals.

The mother-of-four has been sharing each gift to her Instagram as it arrives, including Nike Kobe 6 Protro sneakers from Vanessa Bryant, a Dior bag from the label's creative director Kim Jones and a gold treat from Givenchy's creative director Matthew Williams.
