Cookie Queens is a documentary about four girls who “strive to be a top-selling 'Cookie Queen,' navigating an $800 million business in which childhood and ambition collide” and Harry and Meghan executive-produced it through their Archewell Productions company. On Tuesday, Meghan posed with the cast and crew of the documentary and also went on stage to take part in a Q&A, where she revealed what her husband, Prince Harry, told her in order to get through the “really hard days”. Asked about how she motivates herself during “tough moments, Meghan said, as per People: “I think so much of it, funny enough, I was thinking about something my husband told me ages ago, because we all go through experiences and life is full of surprises.
“But you know, he was a helicopter pilot in the British Army for 10 years. And sometimes on really hard days, he said, ‘Hey, but my love, you know, even if there’s a storm happening above the storm, the sun’s always shining.’ ”
Meghan said that Harry’s perspective “only comes when you think about zooming out a little”.
The duchess stressed that it is important to maintain the perspective that no matter what feels insurmountable, there’s just always that sun shining above it.”
She said: “So I think when you really zoom out and think, ‘My gosh, how many things have we gone through that have felt hard?’ And then you still get through them.
“Or how many goals do you think you’re not gonna hit? And then you hit them and you supersede them.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are two of the 13 executive producers of the film, including Chanel Pysnik, Regina K. Scully, Hallee Adelman, Ann Lewnes, Stephen G. Hall, Ruth Ann Harnisch, Geralyn Dreyfous, Tegan Acton, Emma Pompetti, James Costa and Trevor Burgess.
It was directed by Alysa Nahmias, who also served as producer, alongside Michael Dweck, Gregory Kershaw and Jennifer Sims.
Meghan’s appearance comes after the couple’s recent trip to Europe, where they spent time in Portugal and Britain.
Harry spent five days in his home country, while Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, made an under-the-radar visit to Gloucestershire to meet the King and Queen privately at their Highgrove House.
