Meghan Quotes Harry’s ‘Sun Over the Storm’ Advice While Promoting Cookie Queens
She used the military-rooted metaphor to frame a message of resilience that ties her Girl Scout past to the documentary’s themes.
Overview
- Meghan spoke at a special screening of the documentary Cookie Queens in Los Angeles, which took place Saturday, and she told the audience that Prince Harry once told her, “even if there's a storm over the storm — the sun always shines.”
- The comment was offered during a Q&A as the couple promote the film they executive produced, which follows girls during Girl Scout cookie season and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
- Meghan said the perspective helps her ‘zoom out’ on hard moments and reflected on lessons from her own time as a Girl Scout and her mother’s role as her troop leader.
- Some coverage noted backlash over Meghan’s casual reference to Harry’s decade in the British Army and the timing of his helicopter-pilot training, which prompted online debate about her wording.
- The screening remarks deepen the film’s public message about skill-building and resilience for young girls and signal further promotional appearances ahead of Cookie Queens’ wider theatrical release.
