The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the the 2026 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday January 24, 2026, for the premiere of Cookie Queens, a documentary that Archewell Productions has executive-produced.
The couple leaned into Sundance’s trademark understated polish with coordinated, low-key looks that felt relaxed yet refined. Meghan opted for a sleek, all-black ensemble, pairing a minimalist knit top with tailored trousers and pointed heels, her hair worn long and glossy for a clean, modern finish. Harry kept things casual-cool in a quilted navy vest layered over a dark long-sleeve top, teamed with olive trousers and suede boots – practical, unfussy and perfectly in step with the festival’s laid-back energy.
The couple were photographed with Amy Redford, Robert Redford’s daughter, as well as Eugene Hernandez, Director, Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming, and filmmaker Alysa Nahmias.

Cookie sales. But their entrepreneurial spirit hints at bright futures ahead – think future Supreme Court justices, CEOs, and beyond.”

“As 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,” Meghan said in a statement in December when the news was announced.
“When we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in. The creative point of view, the edgy yet humanizing tone and tenor of the directing, and the glimpse behind-the-scenes into such a nostalgic and also modern tradition of Girl Scout Cookie season are absolutely irresistible.”
