Meghan Markle and Prince Harry-Backed Documentary Cookie Queens Is Heading to Movie Theaters

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s latest creative collaboration is coming to movie theaters.

On Thursday, March 12, it was announced that Cookie Queens, the Girl Scout Cookie documentary executive-produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was acquired by Roadside Attractions and is set to open in U.S. theaters this summer.

Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, celebrated with the cast and crew when the doc had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. In a press release announcing the news, director Alysa Nahmias shared her excitement about landing a distribution deal for the film, which follows members of Girl Scouts USA through the organization’s iconic annual cookie sale season.

“Girl Scout Cookies are more than a beloved tradition – they’re a big business where talented and hard-working girls generate $800 million in annual sales. For me, this became a fascinating lens to explore a story about girlhood — the ambition, resilience, humor, and vulnerability that emerge as these girls navigate growing up in a world shaped by the tensions between community and capitalism,” Nahmias said. “After the incredible response at Sundance, I’m honored to partner with Roadside Attractions, whose commitment to theatrical storytelling makes them the perfect home to bring this film to audiences nationwide.”

The release also included a previous quote from Meghan about her involvement with the project. Continue reading Meghan Markle and Prince Harry-Backed Documentary Cookie Queens Is Heading to Movie Theaters
