She was actually based on one of them. Her husband married her solely for her fortune, and then after the marriage fell madly in love with her. Sadly she died young, but they had a wonderful, happy marriage.
It is very frustrating. Smithsonian channel video end right in the middle of a sentence, just when things were getting interesting. Finish what you start.
I rarely ever see anything interesting on this channel anyway. Usually have to record things because they play at like 7am. Otherwise they just constantly play ‘Air Disasters’ which gets old after one episode.
Yes the narrator is the mom on Downton Abbey. I love her voice. There are some movies about Winston Churchill’s mom. She was an American whose father was ridiculously wealthy and I think Sir Randolph was pleasantly pleased to court a young woman who is perfect for what he was looking to marry. A lot of English Aristocracy in Victorian times needed money and came to the U.S. searching for wealthy families to marry into. But Jennie Churchill proved to be a fantastic person on her own right. Her story is totally worthwhile to read and learn about. And her husband Sir Randolph died prematurely and she just carried on. Winston didn’t get to be who and what he turned out to be on his own !!
Margot's right-it's totally his mother. She was quite the socialite and ended up married two more times if I remember correctly, and probably had an affair with Edward VII. His cousin, the eldest son of the eldest son, married Consuelo Vanderbilt, whose fortune gave Marlborough a very nice new garden.
old empty pockets in need of refilling. one cause (aside from their ridiculous spending habits) was cheap American corn... at the time, ruinous to the UK landowners, which was how the titled maintained their estates and themselves. you know it's peculiar to old money when a gentleman doesn't EARN money, but inherits it. and I guess if the old US money won't accept them, the even older money in the UK will... and did!! LOL (please excuse my nattering. it is an interesting subject!)
You’re not too far off as the “Old Money” does bare its teeth and bites off the head of those who tried to inch their way into the society aristocracy. Lol
You can find it in the Smithsonian Channel series of American Millionaire women marrying British monarchy. I think they have the series here in UA-cam for renting per episode. I guess you can always check your local library?
In 1783 only a 3rd of the Colonial Population favoured Independence, many preferred the stability of the status quo. Those who pushed hardest for it had huge financial incentives, namely the British had ordered the Americans not to colonise west of the Ohio river, however the Colonists believed this to be prime land for the tacking.
That One It might have been ‘band music’- which has a vague similarity to jazz, but it isn’t wrong for the period, I don’t think....1870’s-1890’s (don’t quote me, lol)
@@OcarinaSapphr- there wasn’t really any “big band” type of music during this time-it was mostly Romantic with the likes of Chopin (early), Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Wagner, Puccini, etc. They EASILY could have gone with that XD
@@Mayakran I said 'band music', not 'big band'- they are, in fact, two different things- & using Romantic era music would have been outdated- by like 30-odd years or so.
In 1860 a fountain gushing out eau de Cologne seams to be a very good thing. The New Yorker didn't get ridd of their waste until 1890. So the city stank. Please, correct me, if I'm wrong.
Why is this channel trying to make a big secret mystery out of this? Everybody knows Churchill's mother was an American called Jenny and he loved her dearly.
They need to reveal in the title if this is just an introduction and not the whole documentary. It's deceptive and not in keeping with the way I would expect the Smithsonian to conduct itself.
surely the TRUE teenager who changed the aristocracy was the one who caught a duke rather than a duke's second son? what about Consuelo Yznaga, the duchess of Manchester? she was in the same set as Jennie, true. and yes, I know whose Jennie's son was... I just think the duchess of Manchester deserves that credit. she was just as interesting, too!
Tried to watch Cash for Class but, it stated that it's not available in this country. When will it be available in the United States ? Many Downton Abbey fans are looking forward to watching this series.
Hi, I couldn't add captions, but I wrote what they said: "On the afternoon of August 12, 1873, 19 year old Jenny Jerome is attending a ball. Also present is Lord Randalf Churchill, a 23 year old third son of the Duke of Malburn (sp?). It takes just one dance for Randalph to fall madly in love with the dark-haired beautiful Jenny. And it's a dance that will change forever the fortunes of the British aristocracy. (0:38) ANNE SEBBA: "I say three days that change the world, because within those three days they were talking about each other as being engaged and nobody could really stop the power of this relationship." Jenny is born in Brooklyn in 1854, one of 3 daughters to Clara and Leonard Jerome. LEonard was brought up in a modest farmhouse but Clara was a wealthy young woman. In the 1850's, the young couple move to New York. The goal of Clara is social advancement. For Leonard, it's money. (1:26) STEVE: "Jerome made fortunes, lost fortunes, made them again... and in that respect, was not unlike others of his [group] (he said some word I didn't understand)." Jerome is a Wall STreet speculator, a gambler. In a city notorious for conmen and robber barons, he becomes known as the King of Wall Street. (1:46) STEVE: "These men were manly men. They were not girly men as Arnold Schwarzenegger might have described them. They considered themselves conquistadores, they had triumphed over the vagueries of the marketplace, its unpredicatability, its dangers. They stared risk in the face and not blinked." By the early 1860's, Leonard is worth an estimated $10 million dollars. He moves the family from Brooklyn into a brand new widely-extravagant mansion on Madisone Avenue and 26th Street. It boasts its own private 600-seat opera house. (2:36) WOMAN: "For the opening party, there was a fountain gushing champagne and another one gushing [Odda-cologne] (Sorry, I'm not familiar with alcohol names) and I still can't figure out why that would be a good thing." But as the Jeromes are about to find out, money can't buy you class. (2:55) WOMAN: "Leonard and Clara Jerome wanted to use their money to launch their daughters into society. To make grand marriages. They wanted to break through into this older-moneyed society." The rulers of New York Society are known as the knickerbockers. A few hundred families who have dominated the city for generations. Names still familiar today like Roosevelt and [Stidescent] (obviously I don't recognize this name, haha). The Jeromes find the doors of high society firmly shut. The knickerbockers are contemptuous at new money. Men like Leonard Jerome and his friend the railway baron Cornelius Vanderbilt, they have derogatory names for people like that. (3:46) MAN: "A chip-chop aristocracy." WOMAN: "Swells." WOMAN: "Arrivesce." WOMAN: "The bouncers." WOMAN: "The nuvo reese." (Okay, I had no idea what the women said). MAN: "An aristocracy born just yesterday." (3:55) WOMAN: Leonard Jerome didn't mind that he wasn't included into the fanciest balls and the most wonderful parties. However, Clara minded terribly and she certainly wanted better for her daughers. So with Leonard's reluctant blessings, she decides to take the girls to Europe where she can relaunch them." Hope they add captions one day!
Markus Wilson and thank you lost my hearing from job i used to have end up eith permanent nerve damage always love history i look at it a little different than most people these were real people that for the good the bad the total some of there life's we're just trying to get though life that how Iook at these were real people
Civ6gamer 2017 the first time my grandfather saw my grandmother, he totally fell in love, he knew he wanted to marry her. He proposed marriage to her the second time he saw her. They were married for almost 50 years before he passed away.
I met and married my first husband in three months and then he met and married his second wife in the same time. Consider the generation this was and that doesn't seem so different.
Arguably, she gave birth to Englands greatest Prime Minister, but she didn't change the aristocracy & she was emotionally if not physically absent a lot of the time, the aristocracy will be the same no matter the Americans who come & go, marry or divorce within it.
"The American Teen WHO Changed British Aristocracy etc." WHO. WHO, WHO. NOT "That." "Who" refers to a person, "That" refers to a thing. And on the Smithsonian Channel no less. Jesus, how embarrassing for a once-great institution.
Be careful this channel only makes part documentary so if you like history I suggest a full documentary channel because these are never completed check the years.
Monique White They ARE complete, they simply aren't showing the entire episode on here. They used to. I've watched the hour long episodes on UA-cam before from the Smithsonian channel.
What is an aristocrat or royal? Someone who's got there on the blood and sweat of others ? Isn't it high time we drop such absurd titles in 2020? Isn't it high time we recognise that these were largely undeserved titles?
"The American teen WHO changed the British aristocracy forever..." C'mon, Smithsonian, you're supposed to be an educational institution, among other things.
I absolutely love that they had Elizabeth McGovern narrate this. Cora Crawley was exactly one of these ladies.
I agree. Her voice was perfect.
Omg, I knew it was her!! Lol
She was actually based on one of them. Her husband married her solely for her fortune, and then after the marriage fell madly in love with her. Sadly she died young, but they had a wonderful, happy marriage.
I knew I recognized that voice! I definitely agree. Also her voice is so calming
Was thinking same thing 😃
It is very frustrating. Smithsonian channel video end right in the middle of a sentence, just when things were getting interesting. Finish what you start.

The wealthy Americans wanted titles & the Brits holding titles wanted to ensure their wealth. Thus, marriage.
Well put.
Remind you of anyone!! Apart from the wealthy American
I love how calm and soothing the women's voices are when talking, and then the guy with the glasses gives off mad scientist vibes
That new money versus old money way of thinking still exists in some arenas. Insane!
I want to watch a reenactment of this with Jeanie Jerome talking in thick brooklyn accent.
She's Winston Churchill's Mother
No
Churchill was a popular name back then their not related
The Churchill was related to the Duke of Marlboro I believe so.
Margot's right-it's totally his mother. She was quite the socialite and ended up married two more times if I remember correctly, and probably had an affair with Edward VII.

It is! However, her name is Elizabeth McGovern.

+Liliane van Frankrijk There is an Elizabeth Montgomery. She played Samantha on the TV sitcom "Bewitched."

ah a classic tale of Old money v New money.

Nathan Racher I don't think that is the point. Her child saved the World.
Why the heck did I legitimately read it as "The American *TEETH* That Changed the British Aristocracy???"
Right
Maybe because of 'that' instead of 'who' ;-)
You’re not too far off as the “Old Money” does bare its teeth and bites off the head of those who tried to inch their way into the society aristocracy. Lol
"Legitimately"? No.
So did i .. lolz

OH ! How I wish a movie would be made out of this awesome piece of history !
A mini series was made about 25 or 30 years ago, with Lee Remick playing Jennie Jerome. I think it was produced by the BBC.

It's so annoying that the story just ended when it just getting very interesting.. :-/
Read There are books
Strange? America fought for freedom from the old country. But sought the titles, pomp & circumstances of its predecessor
Bruh they were still brits even if they became independent
In 1783 only a 3rd of the Colonial Population favoured Independence, many preferred the stability of the status quo.
Those who pushed hardest for it had huge financial incentives, namely the British had ordered the Americans not to colonise west of the Ohio river, however the Colonists believed this to be prime land for the tacking.
+Well Known 1783, they were independent from the Treaty of Paris in 1783
Freshie207, so you are saying colonization and moving west is why they seceded from England?
Yes the entire continent of America
Churchill married her for her money and she married him for his title. The marriage was arranged and very unhappy.
|it was a love match
You are sooo wrong Read your history
No it was a Love match, it later became unhappy when they grew apart and he got syphillis
Let me guess Jenny will later on become the mother of the future British Prime Minister “Winston Churchill.”
This is great, but the jazzy brass music is really throwing me off. About 50-70 years off...

Lord Churchill and Jenny Jerome had a dance that years later saved the free world.

True, from her final unwritten novel until her death that she didn't write the end of the story
Reminds me of the story/movie by Edith Wharton, The Bucaneers. If you like this story, you'll that one too.

Except one involves real people and other characters from Ms. Wharton's imagination.
