Add "royalty" to the caliber of guests currently mingling at Sundance.
Day 3 of the prestigious festival included Cookie Queens, a documentary that was executive produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
And despite Harry's ongoing trial in the U.K. against a certain news publisher, the royal couple was still able to make an appearance at the Cookie Queens premiere on Saturday, Jan. 24. The showing was not made aware to the public beforehand, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
They attended a celebratory Sundance Film Festival screening of the 91-minute film and posed with Amy Redford, daughter of the late icon and Sundance founder Robert Redford. The Duke, 41, and Duchess of Sussex, 44, also grabbed pics with festival director Eugene Hernandez and Cookie Queens director Alysa Nahmias. See below.

As THR also noted on Saturday, Cookie Queens is set amid Girl Scout Cookie season and follows four "tenacious girls," Ara, Olive, Nikki and Shannon Elizabeth, as they battle it out to be a top-seller — hence the film's title.
"[Director] Nahmias stays focused on the girls and their individual journeys, offering a sincere, playful window into a multimillion-dollar industry powered by their cookie booths," festival programmer Stephanie Owens writes about the doc. "It's a joyous, heartwarming, utterly sweet ride that cheers on the girls' grit and ingenuity."
Harry was in the U.K. just days ago, meanwhile, on Jan. 21. The Duke gave a lengthy testimony in London's High Court regarding his trial against the publisher of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday. According to People, he became emotional while wrapping things up, expressing sadness over the way his wife has been treated by the U.K. press.
"Through the course of this litigation, it's only got worse, not better," Harry told the court. "It's fundamentally wrong to put all of us through all of this again. What's required is an apology and some accountability. It's a horrible experience."
