      May I ask WHY you NEVER ask or make any reference to the peoples of colour attached to these beautiful houses/castles? 🤔 ... you as an American woman, must surely be curious, no?
      Titles, titles & more titles... did your American plantations houses not have deep & dark secrets?
      I'm British born uk 🇬🇧... have you been to Kenwood House in Hampsted Heath in north London?
      Please STOP ✋🏽 with your titled "white washing" & torrents & gargoyles, enough already! 🙄

    I recently found your channel on RUclips and am addicted!!! I was born and raised in Norfolk, England and moved to the US in my ‘30’s so we have reverse heritage so-to-speak! I often took my children to Sandringham to get a peak at the royal family during their winter vacations there. My daughters have presented the Queen and Princess Diana with bunches of flowers and I am so happy that they got to do so. I still have the newspaper cutting of my daughter giving her flowers to the queen because she felt sorry for her when Diana was getting much of the attention. I am especially glad for those memories as we moved to the US when my children were young. I absolutely love your enthusiasm, your passion and your excitement when seeing things for the first time. Keep doing what you do- you are such a joy to watch….

    As an Alabama girl , now 75 , I loved this episode. I loved what Julie said about the American work ethic. As a mother of 3 daughters and the wife of a disabled husband, it was appreciated. I'm still a working nurse and my 3 daughters were taught to work, be a partner with your spouse , and you can overcome almost anything.
    I so enjoyed this episode and the interview with another Bama Babe! Roll Tide Roll!!

    Julie, you are an example in action of the perfect partnership between England and the United States. The old world offering us its cultural wealth and valuable traditions, and the new world offering us its innovative capacity, spirit of success and brilliance in preserving these historical riches. Two powers united, as they should always be. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that these new progressive ideas that haunt societies, that abhor history, traditions, culture and education, do not succeed in destroying all of this.

      I feel Julie is using active listening a bit too hard and that comes across as rude when she talks over the guests or making some verbal cues that just seem empty and out of the place from time to time. Having said that, I also recognise that as a host, Julie has to carry the flow and keep it entertaining, she's still a freshm... freshwoman in the area of hosting shows, it takes time to learn how to control how you present your guests and yourself all while keeping the rundown and the script in mind.
