Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s production, Cookie Queens, debuted in theaters on Friday, and it seems as if many people can’t wait to see it. The documentary is distributed by Roadside Attractions and fans first saw it premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
The First Theater Drop
Executive produced by Harry and Meghan, it’s the first movie released for theaters under the couple’s Archewell Productions brand. What makes it special is that it’s a tribute to her earlier days when the Duchess of Sussex enjoyed Girl Scout activities.
In an interview with People, Meghan Markle shared, “As a former Girl Scout myself…I have a personal affinity for this film.” She also talked about the “pride” she felt because “Archewell Productions… partnered with this award-winning team to… produce this incredibly captivating film.”

Meghan’s connection to the documentary extends beyond her producer role. Most people know about her mother, Doria Ragland, because she attended the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But they might not have known that she also helped out as a troop leader.
