Meghan Markle <\/a>was mocked by fans who spotted a small beauty faux pas at a documentary screening last night.<\/p>\n The Duchess of Sussex, 44, appeared at the Sundance Film Festival<\/a> to premiere her and Prince Harry’s latest film, Cookie Queens, which is about the Girl Scouts movement. Social media users, though, were more interested in the duchess’ appearance rather than the documentary, produced under the Archewell Productions banner.<\/p>\n But Meghan’s critics were slammed for their takedown, which centred around her hair and makeup. One X user posted: “What am I looking at here? The makeup is too dark and does not match her neck and what is up with the back of her head?” Another comment reads: “That\u2019s the hair she has woven in. As for the makeup application\u2026 she must be putting it on in a room with just a mirror. If she went to a window and applied makeup in natural light, she would see how dark it is and where it ends on the jawline and by the lower ear.”<\/p>\n Following the slew of comments, Meghan’s fans jumped to the former actress’ defence. One said: “Comments are vicious. Meghan looks lovely, I’m happy to see them involved in numerous projects.” Another posted: “I love Harry and Meghan. Their production company is backing films that have good decent values rather than all the violence found in so many movies today.”<\/p>\n READ MORE: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle divide opinion after issuing chilling warning<\/a>READ MORE: Prince Harry’s battle for police protection ‘is finally backed \u2014 on one condition’<\/a>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Writing on Facebook<\/a>, a further fan shared: “Blessings to Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan. Ignore the noise and do the things that make you the happiest, since only you can live your life.”<\/p>\n The documentary film, directed by Alysa Nahmias who also produced I Didn’t See You There in 2022, follows four young women striving to become their own “Cookie Queen”, and be a top seller of Girl Scout Cookies. Meghan, who has been working on the project for years, described the documentary as “probably the cutest film” at the Sundance Film Festival, which showcases independent work.<\/p>\n Speaking at the event in Salt Lake City, Utah, the mum of two said: “Thank you guys so much for being here bright and early… Look, my husband and I and our Archewell Productions, we are so proud and privileged to be able to support and uplift Cookie Queens.<\/p>\n “This film, yes, is probably the cutest at the festival. But I’m also going to go out on a limb and say it is one of the most powerful and meaningful depictions of something that is an American tradition and rooted in nostalgia.<\/p>\n “But it’s now put through this lens from the incredible creative vision of Alyssa to show something modernised about the girlhood experience and all the layers of complexity that come with that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attended the Sundance Film Festival where she spoke to crowds at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,13958,134,33664,5513],"class_list":["post-443063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-documentaries","tag-entertainment","tag-meghan-markle","tag-prince-harry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
