Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are continuing their Sundance Film Festival appearances.
After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first-ever appearance at the annual event for a special screening of their latest documentary, Cookie Queen, on Saturday, Jan. 24, the pair attended the premiere for the doc at the Utah-based film festival on Sunday, Jan. 25.
Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, posed on the red carpet with others involved in the making of the coming-of-age documentary, which follows four Girl Scouts during the organization’s iconic cookie-selling season.
The mom of two later spoke from a podium at Sundance in support of the project,
Both Harry and Meghan serve as executive producers on the 91-minute film that is screening in Sundance’s Family Matinee category. Their involvement in the project was first announced in December.
The documentary was directed by Alysa Nahmias, with Archewell Productions partnering alongside Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films.
The project is a personal one for Meghan, who was a Girl Scout growing up in California, with her mother, Doria Ragland, serving as her troop leader.
“As a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film,” Meghan said in a statement shared by Deadline. “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.”
“When we first viewed the early footage, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in,” she continued. “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.”
