The ensemble of Meghan Markle’s latest movie has shared insights into the real persona of the Duchess of Sussex. Cookie Queens follows the story of four Girl Scouts during the annual cookie-selling season in the US, focusing on Nikki B and her sister Nala. Nikki B expressed her awe at meeting Meghan, likening it to a fairytale experience. She was initially shocked and thrilled to meet the Duke and Duchess in person.

As executive producers of the show, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex collaborated with director Alysa Nahmia to emphasize the significance of the Girl Scouts industry. The film premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Despite criticism over a beauty faux pas, fans defended Meghan, praising her impact and charm at the premiere. Olive G, another Girl Scout featured in the documentary, marveled at the surreal experience of being watched by Meghan and Harry after watching their documentary on Netflix with her parents.

Director Nahmia highlighted the valuable skills young girls learn through the Girl Scouts industry, pointing out the lucrative nature of the £600 million cookie business. She raised concerns about the pressures imposed on the girls by parents, the organization, and self-expectations, describing it as a crash course in capitalism for the youth.

During the event, Meghan expressed gratitude for the support shown towards Cookie Queens, describing the film as a mix of cuteness and profound meaning. She commended the modernized portrayal of American tradition through Alysa’s creative vision, capturing the complexities of the girlhood experience.
