Meghan Markle has opened up about her new documentary about the Girl Scouts, revealing that she’s open to Princess Lilibet joining the group when she’s older. The Princess of Sussex and Prince Harry executive produced the documentary Cookie Queens.
The film follows four Girl Scouts as they compete to sell the most cookies, with the royal couple’s Archewell production company backing the documentary. Appearing at Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Meghan spoke about her experience as a Girl Scout.
“It really embeds such great values from the get-go,” she said about the organisation.
She continued, speaking to Deadline: “I was a Girl Scout, my mom was a troupe leader, and I think the value of friendship, of being dedicated to a goal as you can see that in Cookie Queens, it’s so reflective of how these girls stick with something that’s important to them and don’t give up.”
The Duchess went on to reveal that Prince Harry’s favourite cookies are the “shortbread” ones. When asked whether Princess Lilibet will become a Girl Scout herself, Meghan said “I think we’ll continue to explore whatever feels right.”
She added that working on the project was “incredibly special” for her and director Alysa Nahmias as parents. “As mothers to be able to see something our girls will be able to enjoy and watch as well,” she said.
It comes just days after the Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix show failed to break into the streamer’s top 1,000 most-watched programmes. With Love, Meghan came in 1,124th place between July and December last year, with two million accounts watching the show
She was beaten in the ranking by Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Season 2: Part 2 as well as Downton Abbey, Superstore and Franklin & Bash.
The lifestyle show is unlikely to return for a third series, with a source telling Page Six that it won’t be back.
“There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there’s nothing in the works yet,” they said, adding that Meghan will continue to focus on her As Ever brand instead.
Meanwhile, it was reported that Netflix won’t be renewing its £100million contract with the Duchess. Speaking to The Mirror, chef Rosemary Shrager said that she didn’t think that Meghan was likely to “get her hands dirty” in the kitchen.
“She would probably give me the impression she’s too attractive to be doing it,” she said. “I don’t know anybody else who’s seen it, but I think it’s because we’re in the industry.
“She’s a lady – she’s not exactly going to get her hands dirty if she has to get into the kitchen with a brigade of chefs. I can’t imagine her doing that, but I might be wrong.”
