Alandra L. Laine is the Founding Editor of Crown & Court. A lifelong student of royal history, she launched Crown & Court from a conviction that royalty is not celebrity — it is living history, breathing and evolving in real time. She believes every crown connects us to something larger than ourselves: centuries of decisions, dynasties, and defining moments that continue to shape our world today. She oversees Crown & Court's editorial vision, its six correspondents, and its commitment to authoritative, elegant royal journalism. "Royalty is history with a heartbeat."
