- This full-length documentary explores, in-depth, the dukes of the United Kingdom who very often have more wealth than the royal family.
A Duke, in the hierarchy of nobility, is of the highest rank, second only to the monarch and the Dukes of today navigate a world where their influence is exerted subtly, yet their presence in the socio-economic landscape of the United Kingdom is undeniable.

----------------------------------------------------
Exploring the prestigious and influential “old money” families of Britain, this documentary delves into the lives and legacies of some of the most storied aristocratic dynasties.
The documentary begins with the Dukes of Devonshire, a family whose political clout and heritage have positioned them as a cornerstone of Britain's aristocracy.
Their story is a fascinating blend of power, politics, and tradition, reflecting the enduring influence of Britain's noble families.
Next, the documentary turns to the Dukes of Buccleuch, a family renowned for their extensive landholdings in Scotland.
Their wealth and status are emblematic of the historical and ongoing influence of aristocratic families in the United Kingdom.
It explores their history, current interests, and the role they play in modern Scotland.
The journey continues with the Dukes of Northumberland, a family synonymous with the history and ownership of large parts of Northern England.
Their story is intertwined with the region's history, reflecting centuries of influence and stewardship over the lands and communities they oversee.
Finally, the documentary focuses on the Dukes of Westminster, a family whose name is synonymous with immense wealth and real estate holdings, particularly in London.
Owning significant parts of one of the world's most influential cities, their story is a remarkable example of how “old money” aristocracy continues to shape modern urban landscapes.
This exploration not only delves into the history and impact of these storied families but also offers insights into the evolution of “old money” in Britain and its lasting impact on the country's social, political, and economic fabric.
Long Live Old Money Documentaries!!!!
I've been binge watching old money documentaries for a week now 😂
Thank you for sharing! Very interesting! Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hyacinth Bucket would approve.
You mean Bouquet, of course 🤣❤️
@@TeresaLeandro 😂💯
Thank you for the history lesson.
Thank you for the honesty of this excellently detailed documentary.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Detailed so I hear the dates and see the video this is a much of crap
@@dalemac614 I beg your pardon? What did you mean to say? Unintelligible.
The Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. The working classes haven't got a clue about power and money.
The Cavendish line if dukes shines by the absence of incompetent crazies and the uninterrupted line of competent heirs whereas most noble families had, by the laws of probabilities, at least one crazy or dimwitted heir who spoiled the prowess of the family and often squandered the family fortune.
Situation normal; as for all ‘linages’😉.
Yes, that's what happens when 2 people of similar genetics procreate. I had always been taught that as long as the marriage wasn't between first cousins, there generally was no worry about defects. My husband and I were shocked to find that we are distant cousins--8th, to be exact. Still astounding; such a small world.
You forgot that the late Queen mother was a cousin of the Cavendishes.
They marry their cousins ie Victoria, Elizabeth II etc....
It creates genetic decline.
wasn't she a Bowes-Lyon, or Sackville-West?
@@maxjjackson Yes, she was a Bowes-Lyon.
Binging these videos and its fascinating learning about all the old money families i already know about with living in Dumfries and Galloway ❤
Keep em coming
If they didn’t keep this land from developers, you would have no countryside, none.
New York is a City in the State of New York😂😂
You keep telling yourself that 🤣
🤙 Good point 🙏
@@dianamanning-squire4193 not all of our countryside is owned by Aristocrats
Actually
Who's here after watching The Gentlemen series
It’s a documentary with a point of view. Every single TV show, movie, documentary…the list goes on and, has a point of view, an audience it’s aimed at. How can you not know this? The world isn’t always about your point of view.
Yes, I think that of the millions of people that were affected by these people and had to leave the land so these people could have it. They didnt mention the Scottish Clearances, The Irish Famine or the English Enclosures. They never do.
Nor is it about yours
Well put it
There is the juxtaposition of aristocracy and old money being rather cash-poor, and the nouvelle riche who have their money in a more liquid state. My husband is a Spencer-Cavendish, one of many. Most are not wealthy. American cousins are not given appellations, nor anything as crass as a fortune. It is lovely, though, to see the beautiful country homes in Britain.
'Asset rich, cash poor.'
A monarchy
is to manage
The peoples estate.
The people own
the crown, estate.
🤺💐
People too dumb to manage?
That's what the establishment tells you
Oh more cousin's of mine! These families all married each other so once you manage to get past the 1700s you are bound to be related at least as a cousin.
I would love to see a full documentary on the Howards of Castle Howard (and mostly the house, of course). ❤️
What puzzles me ,the land was free no one owned it except our creator,but yet the word bought comes out of the mouths ,for had it to sale in the first place, I will say no one. You can't sale what you do not own,, the land belongs to humanities and always was and is
I've read primarily british literature.
The hierarchy with
its perquisities and responsibilities is known
to me and many other readers, no doubt.
He's wound to give up the title. I don't think he's willing to give up the money lol
That's why no reparations and why they were paid for their losses due to the abolition of slavery.
I can sit at the same table now, I’m titled as a Lord and own 1 square foot of land in Scotland.
😂😂😂
I think those Lord/Lady titles are fun, especially for gifts. For the person who has everything...
My estate is double yours.... 2 sq feet...
I actually thought that was a real loophole, turned out it was bs.
You can choose to call yourself that any time you want to anyway. Put it on address labels, business cards, even your bank debit card. (Oh, and That square foot of Scotland is actually one of two things. Either, it's
1) located within a protected nature reserve that a certain company doesn't own or manage and thus they cannot sell you anything except a kinda fancy certificate, or
2) Is a buried toxic waste dump that was covered over and hidden by building a caravan holiday park - and apparently, lords, lairds and looneys get 10% off overnight fees...!!!!)
I wonder how much the rates they pay on this property.
Zero, zilch, nada. I bet.
@@jozette-pierceThey pay our property tax called Council Tax just like anyone else.
@@michaelmontagu3979 If they are benign rulers who take care of their charges, but you still have basic human rights, I can see where you would be satisfied living in a pleasant, traditional, environment, with minimal worries.
If i had a £900 million fortune, I wouldn't care how people referred to me 😛
The amount you stated is way below the real amount of wealth.
@leonstone4738 BELOW👀?!
Richard Scott is a descendent of Charles 2nd
How about the Keswicks who founded Jardine Matheson Holdings?
Dukes were introduced by Norman invaders they have not integrated. We never recovered from 1066, no wonder many Saxons left England to go to Byzantine lands.
It’s the Duke of Bu-clue not Buck-lou.
Interesting documentary, BUT what was that where you were showing all those scenes from the movie, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY??? I got very confused and thought you were playing the soundrack to THE DUKES WHO OWN THE UNITED KINGDOM but showing the video of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY!!! 🤣 Was this an accident or did your just deliberately toss in some stolen footage? 😱
Some scenes were shot on their property....
49:48 wooooowww so 🆒😎😊😁🤩🫡🤑🥰
Gotta love the English hierarchy, let's see how long it takes the current heirs to make a make a mess out of generations of meticulous planning and investing.
It’s aristocracy, not hierarchy. But keep broadcasting that you’re an ignorant American
The ones that lose it weren't educated properly. The ones that pick sensible wives seem to do the best job.and inculcate a sense of moral fairness in their children. Lady Di was always polite...not snooty...some of them seem a bit silly. And mix with film stars.
Educated film star business savvy self made😊😊
theyve all got massive grows too ;)
Just imagine the headaches.
Used to walk around Chatsworth for free
Not sure how we cannot see the obvious difference between the aristocracy and the workers. Why is there only one government to rule us all? The gap is too big. Wouldn't it be better to have a government just for ourselves and they can have theirs?
Who is Justin Grant Boughton?
Ever heard of Percy the Pig? Very polite fellow.
Dukes are royalty
No such thing as royalty. Only in the sense that they protect the interests of thd people of the land. Since King Alfred's time it been a opptunistic land grab at Norman mercenaries.
Not all Dukes are styled Riyal Highness. They're referring to aristocratic families, not the Royal family.
Very interesting and educational documentary. 👏🏼
All that wealth, yet the usual human elements of intrigue, marital problems, murder, controversy, philanthropy, legacy, arranged marriages to secure wealth and land, political power and moving forward with the times.
❤❤❤
The love of money or greed is everyone’s downfall
Sooo... when "eat the rich" goes down, you're saying there'll be British cuisine options. Got it.
It's " eat da rich " , proper language innit !!!!
The love of money or greed is everyone’s downfall.
This is about the Duchess....Princess Diana's great greataunt
DIANNA WAS MORE ROYAL THAN THE ROYALS 😮
@@cb4883 Diana was not, Diana's brother has said a few times that the Spencer's were sheep farmers who got lucky
Diana's royal connection was through an illegitimate son of Charles II
our press talked as if the royal family had no connection to the Stuarts
but they do and their connection is through a legitimate line
Mary, Queen of Scots is a direct ancestor
there are a lot of untitled men and women in Diana's family tree
@Muslimah369 Georgiana was Diana's great great great great aunt

Decades ago there was a Duke of York. Can you please clarify ??
The Duke of York is a royal dukedom..some Dukedoms are retained by the crown Kent /York/Gloucester/ Cambridge etc. These are different ...There also used to be Irish Dukedoms but these are now no more..
The previous Duke of York was King George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth II
He had 10,000 men
@@CB-dl1vg
‘He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up,
And when they were down they were down,
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up n’or down’.
What a grand old Duke he was.
English Nursery rhyme…
Did he tho? Have 10,000 men?😳
The title Duke of York is usually created for the second son of English monarchs. Prince Andrew is the current DoY. He has no sons and has remained unmarried since his 1996 divorce. As long as he has no legitimate male heirs, the title Duke of York will again revert to the Crown upon his death.
The great British families wealthy cavandish family and goveners🇬🇧 family 🎉are so royal the crown 👑 need to help others in world 🌍 who need food and aide in poor countries
Amazing, Kennedy's older brother was "lost " while in England also.....hmmm.
But he didn’t give away the land 😂 I contemplate on giving things away too.
They’re not stupid. Capitalism and impressive entrepeneurship skills - but some use their wealth towards charitable causes.

Основные положения допроса военнопленных содержатся в «Руководстве по службе секретной войны», изданном в 1944 году Генеральным штабом Квантунской армии - военной группировки Императорской армии Японии в годы Второй мировой войны. Как говорится в наставлении, в некоторых случаях применять пытку «выгодно», однако, прежде чем подвергать человека физической боли, необходимо взвесить все за и против, так как истязание, применяемое при допросе, может привести к «вредным последствиям». С этими людьми нахуй иметь дело банки Китая
Is all land in the UK owned by someone?
In a very strict legal sense, all land in the UK is owned by the Crown, and the freeholder has a “freehold from the Crown” in virtue of the land they “own.” The only time this ever actually matters is when the Government exercise their right to compulsory purchase land for things like railways and motorways
Simply not true!
They must not pay property tax.
A little point from a European neighbour. This video was educational and interesting I did learn even more then what i knew from England and Scottish history not only from school but also family members from there. Without being too critical the demand strikes me why with all their power and assets and many of them in the house of lords they let destroy this beautiful country and culture. Britain should have been the first in line to put a stop of massif immigration certainly what they brought in the last 20 years. How is it hey did accept this decline and have no power over the government MP's and accepting them even in the first place. Many of them are a ruin to the country . Why not wait until these new incommers are considered politicians only after the 4 or 5 generations to be sure their thoughts are no more in their motherland instead of fully integration in the culture. By all means we know this is happening in many countries in Europe thanks to EU who seeks relentlessly to destroy everything. But why is this Elite so eager to unite themself with the Elite of the EU who is a danger for the population in the whole of Europe. Not thinking that sooner or later with their decisions will be the next in line to be eliminated. Would like to find someone with an answer to this.
Ahh cavendish house.. memories.. me and a girlfriend used the bonnet of my Honda integra as a bed in the cavendish house car park.. lol.. fond memories.. can’t remember what the house looked like.. 😂

All these videos are time specific so the people you are portraying are not the people you claim is anything you are saying true. First off your statements of they have power keep power is ridiculous. And people saying what a sick class blah blah they are wealthy people who at some point worked hard or were savvy enough to buy and keep property. So focus your concern on how the American dream of everyone owning their home is all but gone by American aristocrats who we put on pedestals simply because they typically gained their millions and billions on the backs of all of us keep profits breaking unions and becoming wealthier and wealthier.
Does the 2nd and son of Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of York...Does he own land from that era?
the Duke of York doesn't own any land or even a house
@@lsmith9249 living in the house rent free😂
@liliadworkin8724 He paid the Crown Estate several million pounds to buy the lease of Royal Lodge, so doesn't pay rent. Do you own a house and still pay rent?
Magna Charta maybe was not all about the peasants wellbeing after all?
Who came up with 900m 🤔 less than a billion,
Closer to a couple of trillion would be right
900 million in the world of the super rich is a pauper

Concerned about theft, England should return the Parthenon Marble Sculptures to Athens. QED.
Why. Lord Elgin bought them fair and square at a time when parts of the Parthenon were being destroyed by the people wanting materials for building.
It's A Bout Future Safety 🛟
Queen Mary returned many items that she stole from stores that she frequented, with letter attached to the items saying "Sorry for the misunderstanding." People who she would visit often were known to put away items they thought Mary would like because if you did not offer that item to her as a gift, it would mysteriously go missing. lol Considering children and people who stole food to survive and were imprisoned or placed in work- houses, inequality is grotesque. THey should never have been imprisoned just for trying to survive.
Snooze ya lose
Where is Shergar and who killed him?
The IRA killed Shergar, allegedly dumped the poor animal in a bog when they shot him because they could not manage a throughbred stallion like Shergar..no amusing flippant matter to be fair..
@@olwenrose2780 Thank you for answering my question with detail. I will never forget nor forgive what happened so cruelly to that wonderful noble horse. I feel sorrow for the other horses meeting tragic ends in the same ghastly “high class” entertainment of horse racing and rodeos.

You ain't got no intrinsic values?
Isn’t it about time Britannic people took the land back of these Norman barons.
these videos are not realistic, the Dukes, Earls etc are not powerful and haven't been for a long time and they had to sell land and property to pay death duties
they were nearly crippled and loads were crippled and gave their houses to the national trust
They are busy giving it to new settlers

О please,
let the prince tell the audience how he will bring his wealth to Heaven??!😊

They should pay inheritance tax like the rest of us
All they own are their thoughts. Hopefully they don't damn them to a lost eternity.
Slavery was a major source of wealth for the British Empire. In 1833 forty percent of the treasury budget went to compensate slave owners for the loss of their 'property'. Such as Camerons compensated for 202 slaves in the Caribbean. Gladstone, Orwell, Barings. source Independent/UCL.
Oh that compensation that was paid to the likes of the families name. The British taxpayer didn’t settle that debt with the Rothchild family until 2016. If I’m correct. They are the ones who paid for the initial 20 million that Was the settlement agreed in in 1837 if I am correct. Sidenote is something called Gladstone letters where a member of the Gladstone family wrote to the Prime Minister of the time complaining about the loss of slaves. This brought about bringing intension Indian slaves from India to the west Indies
Meanwhile at least we the people have easy access to a great variety of foodbanks and suck it up = I really don’t get that people can’t see through all the propaganda and see with their own eyes = if you and I did what prince Andrew did we wouldn’t see the light of day =if like Andrew said he was being honourable then why would he pay 12+half million because a person with honour word not give 12+half pence i would rather defend my reputation ⚖️
can royal family take these land back ?
The Cavendish family will give up of their titles but not their money and property.
Giving up titles hides them from public view.
What a sick class system they have.
I know, I think it's super cool.
Oh, dry up.
Do be quiet . You are jealous of a culture you know zip about .
You nailed it
Drugs sex and Rock n roll. Perverted class.
‼️ Ouch… I think the a lot more people educated than this Sir ‼️
This is somewhat out of date, the old Duke has since died and the baton has been handed on to the young Duke and his wife. They still enjoy the same priveleges though.
And what's wrong with doing well out of life? I am sure it is a string of ambitions we all hope to achieve.
@@dewarfinch1You like the "American Dream" that you have to be asleep to live it.

No body deserves that much wealth. It is just obscene
Hello, envy.
Their wealth is actually quite small compared to Musk, Gates, Bezos, and even old Warren Buffet, so kind of silly of you to make comments like ….nobody deserves this kind of……nothing in life is rarely about what a person or family deserves. It’s always much more complicated than that. Wow…read a book why don’t you?
I don't think Gates etc deserve that much wealth either. Look at the influence that one person has because of his extreme wealth. Not very democratic is it? How about you read a book and actually think @@suzanneelliott4245

They are titled aristocrat with money , and money plays a pivotal role in shaping culture , but are not they fail to maintain that culture and tradition among British? They are out of touch of reality living in their gilded world and the charm of British is disappearing by extremist.. If nation really want to survive as a Christian They need to wakeup and see the reality outside gilded world .. British royal ,aristocrat, politicians are among the most ultra class ,they have no clue about ground reality of how illegal immigrants and extremist ruining the country .. British need to know there is world outside britain ,usa and uk .. The gossip of royal family tabloid overshadow this part ,where media never likely to discuss.. Britain media née to understand talking over royal fashion, scandal and romance would not solve the coming disaster ..
The cleaning up of criminal gains none can come close to Elon Musk who actually invented and produced useful things while paying his labor real livable wages interesting ..

Unelected and untouchable. Money buys you everything. It won't last. Checkmate is coming.
Actually they're prisoners with titles and billions, because they aren't able to go anywhere without entourage of bodyguards, no privacy to even picked their noses lol😊. The surveillance and camera eagle eyes always on the lookout for their safety and comforts.
Whilst you, presumably, are just nothing.
But like the royal family how much of this is from the slave trade and other evil endeavour uf we abolished the monarchy we could confiscate there estates and maybe large portions of there fortune you no make them give back for a change 😂😂
Why not do the research?
My cousin is worth 890 million. While I'm on food stamps
So you feel entitled their money, that you didn't make? They don't owe you anything.
That's their money. Not yours 1:19:34
The difference between the rich and poor is obscene the thing is that it’s been this way all through out history I live in England and we have a thing called foodbanks =it sickens me that any human should have to live this way I wish that your life gets better thank you for your honesty ❤
