Meghan Markle Makes First Public Appearance in Months at Cookie Queens Screening

Her Los Angeles appearance underscored the couple’s executive-producer role and set the stage for the documentary’s reported August release.

Overview

  • Meghan attended a special screening at AMC The Grove in Los Angeles, which Wednesday marked her first public appearance since traveling to Geneva in May.
  • After the film she joined a Q&A with director Alysa Nahmias and quoted advice Prince Harry gave her about keeping perspective during hard times, drawing on his experience as a British Army helicopter pilot.
  • Cookie Queens follows four Girl Scouts selling cookies, was directed by Alysa Nahmias, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and is reported to be slated for release on August 7.
  • Meghan and Prince Harry are credited as executive producers through their Archewell-linked production role, with the couple using their credits to back documentary storytelling about youth and civic life.
  • Nahmias told reporters that Meghan has a personal Girl Scout connection—her mother once served as her troop leader—which organizers used to frame the film and the couple’s selective public promotion strategy.
