Meghan at a screening of Cookie Queens in LA

"The 2026 Sundance documentary lineup will feature a royal flourish.

"Deadline has learned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – Prince Harry and Meghan – will executive produce Cookie Queens, 'a coming-of-age story about the joys, pressures, and pain points woven into one of America’s most cherished rituals: Girl Scout Cookie season.'

"The couple’s Archewell Productions is partnering with Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films on the documentary, which premieres in the festival’s Family Matinee section. Alysa Nahmias (Art & Krimes By Krimes, Unfinished Spaces) directs the film, producing alongside Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw (The Truffle Hunters, Gaucho Gaucho), and Jennifer Sims.

"Meghan [the Duchess of Sussex] stepped out in Los Angeles last night to attend a special screening of Cookie Queens, a documentary about Girl Scouts, in Los Angeles. It marks her first public appearance since traveling to Geneva in May, though she recently shared photographs of her family’s summer vacation on Instagram.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex served as executive producers on the film, which was directed by Alysa Nahmias. For the event, she kept it casual in a monochrome white outfit and Hermès Santorini sandals.

"The film follows four ambitious Girl Scouts as they sell cookies, and had its premiere at Sundance Film Festival in January. 'One interesting thing that we love about the personal connection is Meghan was a Girl Scout herself, and her mom was her troop leader,' director Nahmias told People. 'Actually, she’s in the same council as Nikki and her sisters — Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles. That’s where Meghan grew up, participating in the same Girl Scout council.'
