Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Documentary 'Cookie Queens' Secures US Cinema Release
A documentary executive-produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, titled 'Cookie Queens', has been acquired by Roadside Attractions for distribution in the United States. The film, which delves into the American Girl Scouts' annual cookie-selling tradition, is scheduled for a cinema release over the summer months, following its premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival.
Personal Connection and Production Details
The Duchess of Sussex, who was a former Girl Scout herself, has expressed a strong personal affinity for the project. She described the documentary as a powerful depiction of an American tradition, highlighting its cultural significance. This move into film distribution comes amid other developments in the couple's media ventures.
Context of Recent Media Endeavours
This acquisition follows reports that Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan' series did not rank among Netflix's top programmes, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever, has ended its partnership with the streaming giant. Despite these setbacks, the couple continues to expand their production portfolio with projects like 'Cookie Queens'.
Upcoming Engagements and Travel Plans
Separately, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for an upcoming trip to Australia next month. During this visit, the Duchess is set to be the main attraction at an 'ultimate girls’ weekend' event in Sydney, further showcasing her involvement in public engagements and cultural activities.
The release of 'Cookie Queens' marks a significant step in the Sussexes' efforts to establish themselves in the entertainment industry, focusing on documentaries that explore meaningful traditions and stories.
