Meghan Markle's New Film Cast Reveals What She's Really Like Off Camera: 'It Feels Crazy'
Meghan Markle's new film 'Cookie Queens' follows four young Girl Scouts as they navigate the annual cookie-selling season.
Following the premiere of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new documentary, Cookie Queens, at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, several cast members proudly posed for photos alongside the couple. The film, which follows four Girl Scouts as they navigate the annual cookie-selling season, pays tribute to Markle's own experiences as a former Girl Scout. Describing their meeting with her as nothing short of a fairytale, film stars Nikki B and her older sister, Nala, opened up about what the Duchess was like when the cameras weren't rolling.
According to GB News, Nikki B said, "It feels like crazy. I always read about them [Harry and Markle] in my books, like, oh, the princesses and kings, and then I actually get to meet one." Chiming in, Nala added, "When I first found out that I was meeting the Duke and Duchess, I was like, 'Are you serious? Are you sure?' But yeah, I'm really excited. I'm so stoked." Markle and Harry, who served as executive producers for the show, teamed up with director Alysa Nahmia to highlight the importance of the Girl Scouts industry.
Meanwhile, Olive G, a scout from Charlotte, stressed, "It's just crazy to me because me and my parents watched [Meghan and Harry's] documentary on Netflix, and now they've watched me [in the documentary]. That's just crazy." Additionally, Nahmias spoke on the importance of the Girl Scouts industry and the skills it teaches young girls, stating, "The cookies are a £600 million [a year] business that's very profitable, and these girls are doing that, and they're making a cut of that [for their troupes]. But at what cost?" She opined that the pressure came from parents, the Girl Scouts organization, and the girls themselves, adding, "It's a crash course in capitalism for young people."
On the red carpet for the Sundance Film Festival, Markle, who made a surprise appearance alongside Harry, was asked what her favorite Girl Scout cookie was. She replied, "Thin Mints. It's such a classic," and as a former Girl Scout, she shared that it was also the cookie that sold the quickest. When asked if she preferred keeping hers in the freezer, she replied, "I don't know if you're supposed to, but it's certainly a nice plus!"
Markle and Harry were seen attending the Salt Lake Celebration and premiere of Cookie Queens at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Centre over the weekend on January 24th and 25th. They opted for a casual look, the Duchess in a long-sleeved black top and jeans, while the Duke twinned in black and gray jeans. They posed for pictures with the director of the Sundance Film Festival, Eugene Hernandez, presenting a low-key image that contrasted with the glamor of their old royal life.
