And despite Harry’s ongoing trial in the U.K. against a certain news publisher<\/a>, the royal couple was still able to make an appearance at the Cookie Queens premiere on Saturday, Jan. 24. The showing was not made aware to the public beforehand, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n They attended a celebratory Sundance Film Festival screening of the 91-minute film and posed with Amy Redford, daughter of the late icon and Sundance founder Robert Redford<\/a>. The Duke, 41, and Duchess of Sussex, 44, also grabbed pics with festival director Eugene Hernandez and Cookie Queens director Alysa Nahmias.

(Getty Images)<\/p>\n As THR also noted on Saturday, Cookie Queens is set amid Girl Scout Cookie<\/a> season and follows four \u201ctenacious girls,\u201d Ara, Olive, Nikki and Shannon Elizabeth, as they battle it out to be a top-seller \u2014 hence the film’s title.<\/p>\n “[Director] Nahmias stays focused on the girls and their individual journeys, offering a sincere, playful window into a multimillion-dollar industry powered by their cookie booths,” festival programmer Stephanie Owens writes<\/a> about the doc. “It\u2019s a joyous, heartwarming, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls\u2019 grit and ingenuity.”<\/p>\n Harry\u00a0was in the U.K. just days ago, meanwhile, on Jan. 21. The Duke gave a lengthy testimony in London\u2019s High Court regarding his trial against the publisher of the\u00a0Daily Mail\u00a0and\u00a0The Mail on Sunday. According to\u00a0People<\/a>, he became emotional while wrapping things up, expressing sadness over the way his wife has been treated by the U.K. press.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough the course of this litigation, it\u2019s only got worse, not better,\u201d Harry told the court. \u201cIt\u2019s fundamentally wrong to put all of us through all of this again. What\u2019s required is an apology and some accountability. It\u2019s a horrible experience.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Jan 25, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
