As a woman from Illinois I was quite surprised to listen to how you speak and how familiar! I am quite certain you must be from around Chicagoland, as am I. I am about your age too. How terribly interesting that both of you were from Illinois!
@@lucyvandervort6191 some people had a much harder time just being physically different. Diana was torn to shreds by the press and she was from a well established aristocratic family.
@@kaasheeIndeed. Equally, they confuse a severe lack of emotional intelligence, decency and objectivity for being " Conservative". Rebranding is something we all need, badly.
I LOVE watching this show! Even though she is American, she has a respect for the traditions and history for her Husband and his family. I feel she really wants to learn. Wonderful too, that she tries to incorporate her own American customs, but not in a "mine is better than yours" attitude. It is just such a joy to watch. And that Tiara! I bet she was taking that necklace off now that she knows....also looks like the two end pieces could be brooches.
Very true & I also give her in-laws some credit too. There are plenty of aristocratic British families that would be less than amused by the wife of the future Earl doing Bravo reality shows and yoga on UA-cam etc. Julie is very lucky to have found a lovely family that embraces her for who she is and doesn’t try to make her into something else...and they’re lucky to have found her too because she seems like lots of fun.
Julie, you are living the dream, but what I love is that you don't take one minute for granted. You are full of awe and wonder. Your excitement is contagious!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Mapperton is safe in your hands.
I love the fact that the history of family tiaras often reflect national historic events, or can be 'dismantled' to form clips, necklaces and brooches, etc.
I am an fellow American from Illinois living in the former British Colony of Zambia. It is so fun to watch your channel. We golf in Sugar Grove when I am home for a visit!
I actually enjoyed this one, finally an American who doesn’t try to force her culture obnoxiously and that she knows how to ask questions on areas where she’s not sure off, making me smile as we learn together where she actually seems interested and driven in learning the history of her husbands family. I hope you have a blessed marriage and thank you for sharing the beautiful story with all of us!
@Rae • Upper Left Citystead 🌱 I see! My apologies if I sound offensive to you or anyone else! I think I’ve met too many online that are quite ignorant 😅
I adore this program and cannot get enough of Mapperton and it’s history. When Julie travels to the other castles I feel as if I’m walking through these gorgeous homes right alongside her. Let us all hope this program is renewed for another season or two or three... Devoted Mapperton fan from Kentucky USA
Every summer we would head to Beaulieu for a half day trip to the motor museum and a picnic in the grounds. It's very familiar country because it's close to where I grew up in Bournemouth. Been living in Australia now for 35 years. The one thing I miss is the south coast, especially Dorset, with its pretty villages, its understated homely great houses and its Jurassic coastline.
The tiara is amazing and it's awesome to find out how much history there's behind it. I love the fact they make such a piece of jewelry totally convertible.
Your excitement and joy of learning things about your husband's family is contagious! I'm amazed that an American girl can make English manor house living exciting and fun to watch. I can't get enough of your videos and uploads. You quite possibly could be the best ambassador for Britain and it's amazing heritage. I hope your husband was as excited as you were when you told him all you had learned about the tiara.
Julie Montagu is a WONDERFUL addition to all levels of British monarchy and high class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A TERRIFIC historian, a BRILLIANT, APPRECIATIVE woman!! What a pleasure to watch and a huge thank you from those of us who will always remain plebs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Julie is such a lovely person . I admire her for taking such care of her husbands family history. She is making history of her own. That is so lovely for their children. Beautiful family all of them. Best wishes to you Julie from Kentucky!!
My husband gave me a diamond engagement ring many years ago. I always felt that a Tiara as means love. I enjoy watching the American Viscountess! Lovely and positive personality!!!!
You're welcome! I wanted to be a bit more clear . It is a diamond shaped Tiara engagement ring that my husband gave me when we were dating as teens. It was considered unusual.
I thought the tiara looked absolutely stunning on you on your beautiful wedding day! You were glowing so and so obviously happy and in love with your husband! I love your show. You bring a fresh American perspective to all that you are seeing and learning. You are teaching us so much as well.
American grandmothers always have a special treat or present ready when their grandchildren visit. My grandmothers and great grandmothers always did. Sometimes it would be a coloring book and crayons but my favorite were the homemade cookies.
Julie looked gorgeous on her wedding day, and what a beautiful way to be welcomed into the Montagu family! The tiara is truly stunning, and the possibility that Alberta might have worn it as well, makes theirs, an even more meaningful connection. This channel is amazing, the way Julie tells the story of her husband's estate and of their family and home is so engaging and very interesting!
What a stunning tiara!! I too was adorned with a tiara of roses for my English wedding in 1999...however, the ones in mine are made from a type of plasticine...and, alas, there's not a single diamond in it!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing life with us...💗💗💗
Julie, I’m so, so glad you shared a closeup and history of your family Tiara. I’m into tiaras and had previously seen a single photo of you wearing it at your wedding. Florals are my favorite type Tiara and this one is exceptional.
The tiara is absolutely stunning. For me it was made even more beautiful when you learned the history behind it. It made such total sense when she explained it. I would have loved to seen The tiara taken off its frame so you could have seen the necklace by itself. The jewelry of that time. Is just amazing and the way they constructed things was so unbelievably detailed. I love how you are so interested in your husband's family. If I lived there I would be so interested in the history of that family and that place. I have always loved portraiture of the early part of this century and before. I have also always wondered about the people in the portraits. What kind of lives did they leave and what did they see during that lifetime.
Julie just seems so lovely and down to earth. Now being part of British nobility, she could easily be arrogant and pompous, but she couldn’t be less humble. It’s not about changing herself, it’s about embracing and recognizing that their children also have a British side that she herself wants to learn more about. How delightful.
Well it isnt all about everyone else and fitting in and serving everyone else. Being "humble" or I would use the words loving and open and interested shouldn't preclude a foundation of love and respect for self and what you offer as just as valid an individual as everyone else.
I love this tiara so much! I’m so glad this is still being worn in modern times! We need more tiaras! I’m a new subscriber, I adore your reaction to hearing the history.
I’m simply enthralled by your stories. I’m so interested in the English monarchy, it’s court, and the gilded age. I feel like I’m living vicariously through you. Your videos are so so interesting. Thank you again!
My favorite court from the gilded age was the splendor of imperial Russian tsar court. I became intrigued with the imperial Russia after watching movies and series based on Anna Karerina, Onegin, love and war.
My grandmother also had a drawer with small gifts for the grandchildren. She was bedridden in later years and we would always visit her and sit on the bed and chat, waiting for her instruction to open the drawer beside her bed and choose a gift! It was so exciting as a child.
Wow two American ladies wore the Tiara how interesting, I like Julie shes down to earth not arrogant or stuffy her husband is a nice man too . His parents are so grounded and full of valuable history its a joy to watch. The children will grow up courteous and kind too I bet love from Oz x
I have a real diamond tiara that I wear when I perform on concerts, and for special occasions. I bought it from England. It is from the Georgian period, and is very similar to the one in this video, but a bit smaller. I just love it. I also have an early 1900's paste tiara as well.
High end jewelry stores sometimes have them. Occasionally you can by them online at auction. I was fortunate and found mine on ebay from a jewelry store in England that carries them.
It really is! Thank you for your comment - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
I just discovered you, and you are such a joy! I loved it when you said in a different video that Americans tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve as I’m the same way. My British maternal great grandmother was one of the very warmest and loving ladies. That trait got passed down through to my mother, though you obviously know that most people deep down are the same everywhere. Even so, true enough there can be an initial reserve in England (with foreigners, say’s the father in Love in a Cold Climate). Thank you for being so positive as you share your journey in British and America’s shared heritage.
How lovely to find the History behind the tiara , I'm English and married to an American, so I know all about the blending of cultures , it's nice to hear that she was a sweet lady and always had a present , I think she would be very proud to know a fellow American wore her tiara and loves it, wonderful memories.💖😊👑
I find it so delightful that you are so genuine, pleasant and down to earth. You have remained true to yourself and that is so commendable. I am also married to an Englishman and have remained true to myself, it is nice to meld both nationalities.
Thank you for sharing the history behind the Montagu Tiara. Would love to see you produce more shows, like this, on the history of unique pieces of British jewelry. The stories behind the heirlooms are so enriching and animate the pieces far beyond their monetary value. Also, I appreciate your authentic nature that is full of enthusiasm and curiosity! You represent America with a dignity people don't often see in Americans on social media. Thank you!
AV, that is a beautiful tiara. How wonderful that you have invited us into your home to learn a bit of history about that work of art from your kind guest. Thankyou!
Julie, as always, your show has such a lovely mix of history, human interest, and your own personal warmth. You are a real treasure, not to mention that gorgeous tiara! I was also struck by the strong family resemblance between your husband and the picture of your father-in-law as a young boy at the very end of the video.
Wow, that's a stunner, so belle epoque. This takes me back to the tiara exhibit at the V and A, twentyish years ago. On the opening night we all wore gowns and tiaras to it. At the time I had a stall at London's Greenwich Market selling hair accessories and I made custom tiara's. Geoffrey Munn has published a beautiful book on tiara's. Every girl needs at least one 😁
Fascinating, I wish you still had a stall there so I could visit! Thank you for sharing - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
@@AmericanViscountess it's great to see a fellow colonial taking over 😆. I've been here for most of my adult life now, but still have a strong LA accent. You're doing a great job ✊🌟
Wow what a beautiful story and you really are bringing the ladies back to life by wearing it and showing it to us also. So incredible to realise a necklace in there and other pieces too. Wonderful
What I love about you, Julia, is how you enunciate and speak well. Americans are often portrayed as not having the language skills that Brits have. You are also full of energy and information. You never disappoint.
Wonderful video. Lovely to see descendants of my ancestors (13th GGF - Sir Edward Montagu ~ 1485 to 1557) and learn about this part of the family in modern times. My line of descent is Montagu / North / Moss / Spears / Carmichael. We immigrated to the Colonies in the mid 1600's. I hope one day to get back across the pond and visit some of my ancestral seats.
Catching up on this video after watching the pool video and I ended up amazed yet so entertained. Imagine how amazing to live like you, having a high tolerance in cross-culture and intend to keep learning even though you have lived there for 20 years. Thank you for this and stay healthy for your family (:
Hearing of the traditions in the relationship betw. Grandparent and grandchild brings a warmth to understanding this family’s life. Having a present in a closet just sounds charming. Knowing grandma thought of the children and connecting. So sweet.
I've been watching your show on Smithsonian channel and absolutely love Mapperton and other castles. My entire family thinks you are a sweetheart and your family is adorable. Once this covid nonsense is over, we plan on a trip to Mapperton and a few places like Doddington and Holmsby. Keep up the good work. Vilma from Winnipeg, Canada.

You know why I like Julie Montagu and enjoy her posts, comments etc? - She is 100%. authentic.
Thank you Catherine, that's so kind of you 🥰
Julie is like most Americans from flyover country, very friendly and down to earth. We are not anything like one sees on TV shows.
She truly seems to be, a charm to follow and listen to.
As an American, I love Julie's enthusiasm and sense of wonderment and respect. She is so invested in her home and history of her family.
She is a love! Reminds me of my two daughters!❤

She’s nuts. I’m American and can’t stand her.
It’s a shame we can’t say the same thing about MM .
I've just discovered this page after the pool cleaning and it's just so interesting.
So did I!
Coincidentally somehow I too only found this channel via the pool video
So interesting to see the lovely Tiara!
Loved the pool cleaning vid!

Wonderful programme. What a lovely girl And a great asset to the Montague Dynasty
She has such a wonderful energy and aura. She looked so happy on her wedding day!
I’m not going to lie . This made me tear up a bit. How lovely is it to have someone who understands you looking after you from above.
🥰
You my dear, are a breath of fresh air. Your excitement over everything your learning is contagious, funny and interesting.
😊 thank you
I love the fact that the history of family tiaras often reflect national historic events, or can be 'dismantled' to form clips, necklaces and brooches, etc.
I adore this lady, she is real and so down to earth ♥️
So happy for you Julie to find a true connection to someone other than the immediate Montagu family. It must be lovely for you.
Thank you so much! It really is! xx
The tiara looks really stunning when it is actually on your head.

Marrying an aristocrat is completely different from marrying into a reigning European house.

Isn’t that wonderful! And what a smashing tiara! I just love it all! Thank you for showing it to us!
You're so welcome 🥰
Wow ! Beautiful and beautiful on the bride !
Loved the show Ladies of London. Wish it continued.
Just gorgeous……….and the hair and dress played well with…….good job
Omg! My grandma was like that too! Sh always had something special for us kids when we visited. And she was grandma to all the kids in the community!
Super duper, Julie. I see from the number of views, there is a lot of tiara love out there. Very interesting. You were a gorgeous bride 👰
Hearing of the traditions in the relationship betw. Grandparent and grandchild brings a warmth to understanding this family’s life. Having a present in a closet just sounds charming. Knowing grandma thought of the children and connecting. So sweet.
I've been watching your show on Smithsonian channel and absolutely love Mapperton and other castles. My entire family thinks you are a sweetheart and your family is adorable. Once this covid nonsense is over, we plan on a trip to Mapperton and a few places like Doddington and Holmsby. Keep up the good work. Vilma from Winnipeg, Canada.
