Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently made a notable appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, continuing their engagement with the event. The couple, who attended for the screening of their documentary Cookie Queen, made their first-ever appearance at the festival on January 24, followed by the film’s premiere on January 25.
On the red carpet, Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, joined the cast and crew of the documentary, which tells the story of four Girl Scouts during the organization’s renowned cookie-selling season. Later, Meghan spoke from the podium, emphasizing her support for the project.
Both Meghan and Harry serve as executive producers of the 91-minute documentary, which is part of Sundance’s Family Matinee category. Their involvement was first revealed in December. Directed by Alysa Nahmias, the documentary is a collaboration between Archewell Productions, Beautiful Stories, and AJNA Films.
This project holds special significance for Meghan, who was a Girl Scout in California with her mother, Doria Ragland, as her troop leader. In a statement shared by Deadline, she expressed, “As a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film. I’m proud that all our conversations and collaboration have led to Archewell Productions partnering with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating documentary.”
Meghan continued, “When we first viewed the early footage, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in. The creative point of view, the edgy yet humanizing tone, and the glimpse behind the scenes of such a nostalgic — and also modern — tradition of Girl Scout Cookie season are absolutely irresistible.”

Since founding Archewell Productions in 2020, Meghan and Harry have aimed to highlight diverse narratives that promote common humanity and community through various media formats, including film and podcasts. In April 2025, Meghan shared childhood photos of herself selling Girl Scout cookies to promote her Lemonada Media podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, highlighting her longstanding connection to the organization.
