The Duchess of Sussex opens up about whether her daughter might follow in her Girl Scout footsteps
Meghan Markle has shared a rare glimpse into how she and Harry think about Princess Lilibet’s future interests during a recent public appearance.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday to attend a second screening of Cookie Queens, their new Netflix documentary. Meghan attended the premiere in her role as an executive producer.
While speaking to Deadline on the red carpet, Meghan was asked whether Lilibet might one day become a Girl Scout, just as she was growing up.
“It’s interesting, I think we’ll continue to explore whatever feels right,” Meghan replied.
She then reflected on her own experience as a Girl Scout and the lessons it gave her. Meghan explained that the organisation helps build strong values from an early age.
“I was a Girl Scout, my mum was my troop leader, and I think the value of friendship and being dedicated to a goal is really important,” she said. “You see that in Cookie Queens – how these girls commit to something that matters to them and don’t give up.”
Meghan also highlighted the importance of confidence, adding that self-belief is one of the key qualities she gained from her time in the movement.
Cookie Queens follows a group of Girl Scouts as they compete to become top sellers, documenting their efforts within an $800 million business where childhood ambition and entrepreneurship meet.
