Prince Harry, Meghan Markle get behind 'edgy' new project

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are becoming executive producers for a documentary on a topic close to the Duchess’ heart.

The documentary, titled Cookie Queens, will be a "coming-of-age story about the joys, pressures, and pain points woven into one of America’s most cherished rituals: Girl Scout Cookie season."

Harry and Meghan's Archewell Productions is partnering with Beautiful Stories and AJNA Films to produce the documentary, which is being described as, "Captivating, candid, and full of heart, the film follows four girls ages five to twelve and their families as they navigate the annual whirlwind of selling, striving, and succeeding."

Meghan is happy to be associated with the film, given her own girl scout experience.

"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," the Duchess of Sussex said.

"When we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in," she added in a statement.

"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," the Suits star added.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle-backed Cookie Queens is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
