\u201cAs a former Girl Scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film and am proud that all our conversations and collaboration have led to Archewell Productions partnering with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating documentary,\u201d the duchess shared<\/a> at the time of the announcement. \u201cWhen we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Posing for photos, the two royals seemed to have kept things casual and classic. For the duchess, this meant an all-black look, pairing a high-neck sweater with matching boot-cut jeans. Later, she layered up for the chilly Utah weather with a sleek deep-brown wool-cashmere coat, designed with a robe silhouette and tied at the waist.

According to Sundance programmer Stephanie Owens<\/a>, the \u201csparkling film follows the girls through a cookie-selling season, highlighting the girls\u2019 charm and unsuspecting sharp business instincts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t just fun and games though,\u201d she continued, discussing Cookie Queens. \u201cThe girls and their families make real financial and time sacrifices to hit their goals, trading laid-back weekends for hours outside, wagons full of cookies in tow. 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. It\u2019s a joyous, heartwarming, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls\u2019 grit and ingenuity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last month, Duchess Meghan announced that she was tapping into her roots, working with Prince Harry and Archewell…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[567,50018,569,568,9,24,63,122,124,123,50017],"class_list":["post-111926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-ac56f97e-c353-4634-9ce7-0ffef38fc9aa","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-locale-us","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-shorttitle-duchess-meghan-prince-harry-show-up-at-sundance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
