Meghan Markle, based in Monticello, USA, has unveiled two new projects from her Archwell Productions company: a romantic comedy for Netflix and a documentary set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
The documentary, titled "Cake Queens," follows a group of Girl Scouts competing in cookie sales across the United States, a business worth roughly $800 million. The film’s title and focus have sparked speculation about a subtle critique of the British monarchy.
Markle, a former Girl Scout leader, uses the story to center herself, shifting the narrative from the scouts to her and Prince Harry. In a press statement she declared: "As a former Girl Scout guide, I am deeply connected to this film, and I am proud that our award‑winning team has produced this family‑friendly documentary".
The romantic comedy, adapted from Jasmine Gillory’s novel, follows an American woman who travels to the UK to work for the royal family and falls in love with a long‑time royal staffer. Critics see parallels to Harry and Meghan’s real‑life romance, raising questions about the film’s intentions.
