Who doesn’t love Julie Andrews? She has delighted generations of audiences, whether singing on the London Vaudeville circuit, in the Broadway productions of My Fair Lady & Camelot, or in the Hollywood classics Mary Poppins &The Sound of Music. Younger generations also know her from The Princess Diaries, Shrek & Despicable Me. And for every decade of her remarkable 70-year career, she’s got charming, insightful stories, starting with her London debut at the age of 12 (yes we have sound of it!). She also talks about some harrowing setbacks, like the surgery that destroyed her soaring voice, and the life lessons that helped her find new ways to share her extraordinary talents with the world.

In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, beloved star Julie Andrews‘ granddaughter Kayti Edwards shares memories of growing up with her famous grandmother. Kayti, 41 — the child of Jennifer Edwards, Julie’s husband Blake Edwards’ daughter from his first marriage — grew up down the street from her famous grandparents. “I could walk to her house in Malibu… we’d be there all day,” she shares. That family time was important because Julie’s life “was very busy,” says Kayti.
To keep order at home, Kayti says her grandmother “was very strict. We had a set schedule. We had tea time.” And the actress who played one of the most famous no-nonsense nannies on film, Mary Poppins, was protective of her own brood. “She guarded us,” Kayti adds.
Their tight family bond allowed Kayti to see a side of Julie, 82, that few others did. “She’s actually a real person,” Kayti points out. “She gets angry. She has feelings. She is not the character you see in the movies.”
Kayti grew up witnessing the priorities Julie had in life, and if there’s one lesson her grandmother taught her, it’s to nurture the people around you. “She’s an ambassador of UNICEF, and she adopted children from Vietnam,” Kayti says of Amy and Joanna. “I followed in her footsteps by starting my own community outreach. I help the homeless.”
