Meghan Markle Makes First Personal Business Investment — and Oprah Winfrey Is Already a Customer!

Meghan Markle is making her debut as a private investor — and can already call Oprah Winfrey a satisfied customer!

“The Duchess has made her first private investment,” a spokesperson for Meghan confirmed to PEOPLE on Monday about her involvement in the woman-led, wellness firm Clevr Blends. “She is an investor in the company.”

Described on its website as starting out from a "funky pop-up coffee bar" in Santa Barbara, California, Clevr Blends sells a variety of nutrition-rich lattes "filled with magical plants to manage stress" through an online store.

Led by entrepreneur Hannah Mendoza, it also donates a percentage of its monthly profits to organizations fighting for food justice in the U.S. All its shipping materials are also 100% post-consumer recycled and 100% recyclable.

South Dakota passes bill banning biological males from participating in female sports to mark Women’s Day

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem vowed to sign the legislation that will ban biological males from competing in female sports, following other Republican-controlled states in sending a message on gender politics.

“We're celebrating International Women's Day by defending women's sports,” Noem said Monday on Twitter, minutes after the South Dakota Senate passed the state's Women's Fairness in Sports legislation. “I'm excited to sign this bill very soon.”

South Dakota's bill was passed after Mississippi lawmakers approved similar legislation last week. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said on Thursday that he would sign the bill, making it law. Idaho last year became the first US state to enact a law barring transgender females from competing in girls' and women's sports, but a federal court ruling has held up implementation.
