Meghan Markle is giving a peek behind the scenes of her Sundance weekend with Prince Harry.
On Jan. 25, the Duchess of Sussex shared a montage of photos from the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to her personal Instagram Stories.

Set to the song “Dreams” by The Cranberries, the Duchess of Sussex’s Stories rolled to show shots from the Saturday screening, including the opening credits, her and Harry posing for photos with Amy Redford, daughter of the late Robert Redford, and pictures from inside the theater, including a candid shot of the couple watching the documentary.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex looked ahead as they sat together. Prince Harry and Meghan are executive producers for the film about the Girl Scouts, which was produced in partnership with their Archewell Productions hub.

The project is especially personal for Meghan, who was a Girl Scout when she was younger, with her mom, Doria Ragland, serving as her troop leader.
Cookie Queens was directed by Alysa Nahmias and follows four Girl Scouts as they navigate the organization’s iconic cookie-selling season. The 91-minute film was produced in partnership with Archewell Productions, Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films, and it brought Harry and Meghan to Sundance for the first time ever.

Exclusively speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet at Cookie Queens’ Jan. 25 premiere, the Duchess of Sussex revealed her favorite Girl Scout cookie flavor and the insight behind why.
“I’m a Thin Mints,” she said. “It’s such a classic. And as a Girl Scout, it was always the one that sold the fastest, so I think you remember it for that reason too.”
Asked whether the classic chocolate mint cookies are best served straight from the freezer, Meghan replied, “I don’t know if you’re supposed to, but it’s certainly a nice plus!”
Meghan walked the carpet with Nahmias on Sunday and introduced her inside Eccles Theater in Park City, Utah, as it premiered in the Family Matinee category.
“Thank you guys so much for being here bright and early. I know some of you probably had late nights last night, so extra thanks for the effort. Nothing a little cookies and coffee can’t help,” the Duchess of Sussex began, shouting out the Scouts’ iconic product.
“My husband and I and our 12 productions, we are so proud and privileged to be able to support and uplift Cookie Queens. This film, yes, is probably the cutest at the festival, but I’m also gonna 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 but is now put through this lens from the incredible creative vision of Alysa to show something modernized about the girlhood experience and all the layers and complexity that come with that,” she continued.
