Mandi Kerr is an experienced entertainment writer. She specializes in British royal family content, covering Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, and more. Mandi’s coverage analyzes how the royals interact with each other and the media, giving readers valuable insight. She’s been interested in how many members of the family make their own interests part of their royal identities. (Mandi points to Middleton’s passion for parenting and the study she helped to conduct as one example.) Her personal interests in Gilmore Girls and baking, particularly with recipes from Ina Garten, led her to cover those extensively for our site.
