Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might have a future Girl Scout in the house: their daughter, Princess Lilibet!

On Jan. 25, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, weighed in on whether her daughter Princess Lilibet, 4, will join the American scouting organization for girls and young women one day.

Former Girl Scout Meghan made the revelation on the red carpet at the premiere of Cookie Queens at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where she and Prince Harry stepped out to support the film produced in partnership with their Archewell Productions hub.

When asked if she wants to join Girl Scouts in a video shared by Deadline, the Duchess of Sussex said, "It's interesting, I think we’ll continue to explore whatever feels right."

Shouting out Cookie Queens director Alysa Nahmias, whom she walked the carpet with, Meghan continued, "Alysa is also a mom of a daughter, and I think for both of us working on this project, it’s been incredibly special as parents, as mothers, to be able to see something our girls will be able to watch and enjoy as well."

Meghan and Prince Harry, 41, are parents to Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, and their daughter will soon be eligible to join the Girl Scouts. The program begins with Daisies in kindergarten or first grade, and Lilibet will be of kindergarten age in the fall.

The Duchess of Sussex was a Girl Scout when she was growing up in California, and her mom, Doria Ragland, was her troop leader.

Meghan and Harry are executive producers for the Cookie Queens documentary through their Archewell Productions company, and the 91-minute film follows four ambitious Girl Scouts during the organization's popular cookie-selling season.

Exclusively speaking to PEOPLE at the Cookie Queens premiere on Jan. 25, Meghan revealed her favorite Girl Scout cookie flavor, calling it a "classic."

"I’m a Thin Mints. It’s such a classic. And as a Girl Scout, it was always the one that sold the fastest, so I think you remember it for that reason too," she said.

On whether the chocolate and mint cookies are best served straight from the freezer, she added, "I don’t know if you’re supposed to, but it’s certainly a nice plus!"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out twice to support Cookie Queens at Sundance over the weekend, attending the film festival for the first time ever. The California couple attended a special screening of the film on Jan. 24 and the official premiere on Jan. 25, where they posed for photos with Nahmias and the cast on the carpet.

PEOPLE was inside the Sunday screening, where Meghan warmly introduced Nahmias and reflected on the depth of Cookie Queens.

"Thank you guys so much for being here bright and early. I know some of you probably had late nights last night, so, extra thanks for the effort. Nothing but a little cookies and coffee can't help," she joked about the 9 a.m. arrival time.

The Duchess of Sussex said that she and Harry "are so proud and privileged to be able to support and uplift Cookie Queens," which she called "probably the cutest at the festival," but one with weight, as well.

"But I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say it is one of the most powerful and meaningful depictions of something that is an American tradition. And rooted in nostalgia but is now put through this lens from the incredible creative vision of Alysa to show something modernized about the girlhood experience and all the layers and complexity that come with that," she continued.

"So yes, it's cute, and yes, these young ladies are fantastic and adorable, but they are also layered beautiful girls who are about to become very strong leaders and young women. So thank you for supporting that."

Meghan's bio on the sussex.com website describes her as "a feminist and champion of human rights and gender equity," and she has long made supporting women and girls a focus of her philanthropic work.
