2 min readLast night, Duchess Meghan attended a special screening of the forthcoming Girl Scout Cookie documentary, Cookie Queens, in Los Angeles (for which she and Prince Harry served as executive producers). And to make the evening even more special, she shared a sweet piece of advice she swears by on challenging days.
During a Q&A portion of the event, in which she sat down with filmmaker Alysa Nahmias to talk all things Cookie Queens, the duchess was asked how she manages to stay motivated during difficult times. To answer, she pulled out a piece of advice that her husband, Prince Harry, gave her years ago.
“Funny enough, I was thinking about something my husband told me ages ago,” she said. Harry, who served as a helicopter pilot in the British army for a decade, reminded his wife of a fact that kept him going through tough times—that “no matter what feels insurmountable, there’s just always that sun shining above it.”
“We all go through experiences and life is full of surprises. Once he said, ‘Hey, but my love, you know, even if there’s a storm happening above the storm, the sun’s always shining.’”
“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,” she continued. “Or how many goals do you think you’re not gonna hit? And then you hit them and you supersede them.”
Cookie Queens, which had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this past January, will be out on August 7.
