Meghan Markle today revealed that she and Prince Harry are executive producing a documentary about Girl Scouts selling biscuits.
The Duchess of Sussex said being part of taking the movie Cookie Queens to the Sundance Film Festival was ‘absolutely irresistible’.
The documentary, directed by Alysa Nahmias, follows ‘four tenacious girls (who) strive to be a top-selling “Cookie Queen”, navigating an 800 million dollar business in which childhood and ambition collide’, the festival programme says.
It will be premiered at Sundance, which runs from late January to early February in Utah.
An official public release date for 2026 has not yet been set.
Meghan says she has a ‘personal affinity’ with the project because she was a Girl Scout and her mother Doria Ragland was her troop leader.
She has shared a previously unseen childhood image of herself as a child, smiling as she pokes her head around Doria with an arm around a friend as they posed with the rest of the troop in LA.
Harry and Meghan executive produced their controversial Netflix documentary about Megxit as well as Harry’s passion project Polo.
Meghan also executive produced her lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. The couple were also involved with Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within, the story of a Uganda-based YouTube dance group.
But Cookie Queens will be their first full-length feature, directed by Alysa Nahmias.
