The 2026 Sundance Film Festival buzzed with excitement as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle premiered their documentary "Cookie Queens," which celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of Girl Scouts selling cookies.
Meghan, a former Girl Scout, shared heartfelt reflections about her own childhood while joyfully revealing her favorite cookie and contemplating whether her daughter, Princess Lilibet, would join the tradition.
The film received an enthusiastic reception, highlighted by a two-minute standing ovation from the audience, reaffirming the impact of the girls’ inspiring stories.
Despite the positive response to the film, the couple's screening faced scrutiny for not selling out, with reports of empty seats fueling discussions about their current public image.
Their appearances at Sundance came just days after Harry’s emotional court testimony regarding media intrusion, adding a poignant layer to their return to the spotlight.
Adding to the festival's drama, Congressman Maxwell Frost was assaulted at a party, a racially charged incident that drew condemnation and highlighted ongoing societal issues within the context of the festival.
