Foul-Mouthed Aristocrats Restore A Tudor Manor | Country House Rescue: Great Fulford | Real Royalty
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2022
- Great Fulford is a Grade I listed manor house near Exeter in Devon. Set in 3000 acres, Great Fulford is home to Francis and Kishanda Fulford, previously seen on Channel 4 in The F***ing Fulfords in 2004. The future of Great Fulford is hanging in the balance. Parts of the house haven't been touched for decades and other parts are starting to crumble.
With the income from the estate and tenanted farms going towards paying off borrowings, the house must start to pay its own way. Simon believes that the huge formal rooms and recently renovated bedrooms mean that the couple are sitting on a goldmine. But will they listen to Simon's advice, or will the couple's forceful personalities leave them at loggerheads?

If there ever were a demonstration of why the commoners wanted to behead their aristocracy, this is it.
They are their own worst enemies.
its not ablut money you plunker.
its the commoners that are robbing you
Utterly disgraceful. Lords of manors may well have lazed about, but they had the FUNDS to do so. Francis considers himself a gentleman. Wife is reprehensible. Not even the slightest shred of grace. Rude and petulant.
Exactly......and they should be left with nothing.....they dont deserve that house and land !!
High opinions of themselves and that elder son. What a prick.
These people want someone to walk in, give them millions of pounds, fix their life, and hand the house back to them as a private home. They don’t want to work for anything. They are the most entitled people I have ever seen.
This is exactly what I want to say
And my impression too.
I wonder how the expert became involved? Did the TV company go and set it up? They seem the sort of people who'd tell their acquaintances that, 'Oh yes, we had some businessy sort of chap in but he was useless. He wanted us to do all sorts of bizarre, inappropriate things and tell us how to run our home. So, of course, we had to see the rascal orf!'
Where did their ancestors get money to build houses like this? I guess from the commonwealth countries. Looting Africa and India for their diamonds and gold. Now their children cannot afford to maintain the properties. Just like the UK as a country is going bankrupt because no more slaves money and taxes from colonized countries.
Like wash me but don't make me wet. They're awful.
Lazy and entitled! Beautiful place with so much potential.
If he stopped pouring whiskeys the size of pints he could afford to restore the entire house in a week.
Need those to tolerate the family
As non drinker even I thought , that's a rather large scotch.
Something tells me that Kishanda is deliberately overpricing her rooms to avoid having strangers in her home. It probably doesn’t matter if the place is starting to fall apart at her hands and her husband's as the process will be complete at the hands of her offspring. You simply can't make enough money to maintain a property of that size sitting around drinking, eating and partying, which is about all the husband is capable of or prepared to do. The only thing that will save this house is a plan and a work ethic.
which neither of them have.
It should be considered a historic monument and restored to it's original state. A monumental task that only private investors or the government could undertake. Oh, and the family should be kicked out of there, pronto.
I reckon the husband does work (if that be managing farming or something else) but whatever it is it’s swallowed up by the cost of the building and life in general.
@@reecemacaulay1690 He wouldn’t be capable of growing a gooseberry let alone run a farm. In any case, the profit from running an underinvested mixed 300 acre farm [one of the 3000 total] would probably be near zero cash-flow, which would contribute nothing. At least it currently should provide an income of between 15,000 and £30,000 per annum for very little re-investment.
No, these people are literally ‘landed gentry’ who are rapidly and unavoidably going to the dogs. Perhaps one of their sons or daughters, the most committed, hard working and cleverest, not necessarily the eldest, might turn it around? They certainly couldn’t do much worse because if he or she did run it into the ground, it would only be a matter of timing between the parents doing so or them.
👏
You can hear the House scream to Simon
"Please don't leave me with these people!"
😆 love this comment. 😂
In a Dorset accent.
Hahaha

lol
The house deserves people who love it enough to take responsibility for it.
What is lovel?
What is responsibility?

"Well, I'VE seen round my house, so I don't need to look around again"... what a charming & gracious hostess!
Probably too embarrassed to be seen with her husband and house on TV. I mean sometimes there isn't really much to say. I prefer her silence and conscious absence to the guys sense of humour and self importance.
Plain rude.

Also his red/purple cheeks are likely a result of constant drinking
That's genetics, they're misbred like pugs.
These people are their own worst enemies. They refuse to change in any way, and expect to be able to charge exorbitant amounts for the little effort they put in. This is entitlement at its best. So sad to see a beautiful historic building have to fail because of people like this.
Well, they fall too! Their own stupidity it’s they’re worst enemy. Can you imagine having an outsider to come and make you see the potential you are standing in to make it a grand place? Instead the resistance is obnoxious.
She doesn’t want to do anything but she’s a cook and cleaning lady because she has no money?
Sad about the house, but I guess we see the disappearance of the titled class unless they actually produce something the world can benefit by. Seems like these people expect what their ancestors got without noticing the world has changed and is not so keen about supporting freeloaders. Up next: royalty, the biggest freeloaders of all. Why stop there? Go for the IRS.
@@Sweetkatie28 "THEY" Will never be on the streets if they can repay any debts the farm rentals will give them a comfortable life style ....and there are always hidden assets not like the rest of us.
@@margaretlouise6200 IRS? What’s that?
The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service. It is a gov't dept here in the US. It collects taxes, audits taxes, and goes after tax dodgers. Not sure what the commenter means about freeloaders. They are govt workers performing a vital service. Their work funds our entire country.
When I was visiting relatives in England, we visited a large manor house. The family that owned it had one wing that they lived in privately and another wing that was furnished for visitors and it reflected how the people of the 1600’s lived. There was a tea house to go with it. It was really worth the money to visit it.
wow! that sounds amazing, any way you can share the name? I want to stay at a Manor house - I love history too much and want to really emerse myself.
@@deniziz This sounds like Heale House, Middle Woodford, 4 miles north of Salisbury, Wiltshire. Tho I’m not sure about visitors staying, so I may be wrong. But they have a Japanese Tea House by the winding river diverted for their pleasure in the 1800s…(but it runs properly and ordinary once it leaves their property!) and Gardens to go around, and a Plant Shop and cafe. Charles 11 hid there for about 5 days after the Battle of Worcester when he had to then flee to France until called back in 1660 to be King. While staying at Heale, he rode over to see Stonehenge.
@@deniziz
Deniz, I thought I had replied to you but I don’t think it went through. I can’t find the name of the place but it wasn’t set up for overnight anyway. Google what you require and see what come up. Best wishes
@@lloyannehurd Thats okay, thank you!!
@@deniziz
I hope you find what you want. England is certain a place to immerse yourself in history.
What you don't see are the ten tenant farmers who rise early and work hard everyday to keep these rich folks afloat. The rich folks, of course, have no gratitude for those who actually work.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but are they not free to find other estates to farm on, if they are dissatisfied with their lease agreement?
In this case, it seems to be a combination of pride to the point of arrogance, incredible sense of entitlement (almost literally), and, quite frankly, a lack of intelligence and willingness to actually work (or to resent it when they have to engage in physical labor).
They are living in a dream world, and reality is going to hit hard. Quite frankly, I don’t really have much sympathy for them. There are a lot more people out there who are in real need of help, and who would be far more grateful for the kind of help this man was offering.
Frances keeps referring to himself as the laid back one... he's not laid back, he's dismissive and negligent. There's a huge difference.
These people are unbelievable. So entitled and unrealistic. That house looks pathetic. Mold on the outside and very shabby inside. Simon is very patient with them.
Yes some is downright ugly.
IYHO🙄

Francis to his friend: "Would you like to come to our house for dinner?"
Friend: "That would be great." Francis: "Okay. 60 quid."
Wow, they made it 27 generation as without having to really work. Amazing.
VRBO that shit out!
Watching the Fulfords has been a guilty pleasure of mine for over a decade.
Are they still there ?
@@JVSwailesBoudicca yes
Simon described Kishanda as a "petulant child." I'd say that was the understatement of the year. These people deserve everything that comes to them.
He has to be diplomatic and keep up the pretense. Some folks call it sophistication.
Apparently you and the rest of the public here is to decide what people deserve.. the judgmental arrogance.
@@autosnomos5477 I think it was pretty obvious from - in particular, Kishandra's behaviour, that they did not deserve any help. They were resistant to every suggested improvement made by Simon, and the wife was downright hostile. Would you go out of your way to help them? I think not.
@@gracec3418 Whether someone 'deserves' something is a judgement which is the domain of judgemental people who arrogantly and all too eagerly think they are entitled to pronounce such judgement over another. Whether help is 'useful', that is another type of judgement, it is limited to judging whether the enterprise has a chance of being successful at all. By using the word 'deserve' people betray their own judgmental psychology. Though I grant it that some people do not realize the distinction, and choose their words all too carelessly, aside of a majority, who pass judgements all too eagerly.
Who Are We To Decide What They “ DESERVE “
It Should Be Done For The Castle. Please Don’t Show Your Ignorance. Enjoy The Castles On Your Own And You Will See How Lovely They Are In Person. Please Remember , Save The Castles But Help The People Survive Their Heritages.
That Doesn’t Mean Give Them Money To Squander And Act Foolish. Make Them
WORK FOR EVERY THING , Food , Clothing And Money.
GOD BLESS US ALL 🙏🏼🙏🙏🏿
Could they be nastier? Put them in a trailer and call it a day. Nothing redeemable about this family.
Put them in a council flat and on the dole as their sole income.
My brother in law told me that people that inherit good amount of money don't compromise with their comfort and lifestyle. I can see it here in that couple.
She's a real bundle of joy
She's a clueless old witch. I can't imagine a more unsuitable hostess. Doomed to failure.
She’s horrendous! At first I thought I disliked her husband more, but by the end it was Kishanda who showed even more detestable behaviors!
Dreadful woman, she really had some nerve involving herself in the show only to bully and gaslight Simon like that.
I wouldn't want to meet either of them, let alone pay a fortune to stay in their shabbily maintained house.
She’s milf 😈
These people just ended up looking like spoiled snobs. Very sad when someone came and put their time and energy into helping them. You deserve an award for the calmest reaction to people who acted like they were way above everyone. They reminded me of 2 spoiled kids pretending they have so much while their house crumbles around them. It would seem that they would have to pay people to play the part of their friends as no one in their right mind would want the misery of hanging out with them. Usually I'm not so critical but treating someone trying to help them so awful really annoyed me. Loved that you told them you saw right through their games. I think they wanted a free house make over right from the start never planning on making a business. They had better start packing up their chipped cups and dusty paintings before it is auctioned off for back taxes.
Totally agree with you. You’ve saved me making the same observations. The wife is unbelievable! He’s bad enough. I wouldn’t have them as my friends. I’ve forgotten if children were mentioned. Who does it go to when HE dies? The rate they’re going on, there’ll be nothing but broken windows (you’d have thought they would have at least replaced all those in the courtyard), falling off wallpaper etc etc for whoever inherits. Very sad indeed. I’d hate to think of them as my overlords in the time of the Wars of the Roses! Or ANY time. They’d screw out of you your last penny.

Unable to wield logic, lacking in taste, intelligence and personal integrity, Kishanda Fulford is both an embarrassment and a failure.
Now fully documented for millions to witness.
CB-zd2dn Simon was paid for it and the Fulfords were paid for it the only thing he had to do was turn up arrange a few events and both parties had to suffer each others stubborness.
Nutters
My sister knew of an aristocrat living in south of Ireland from the Stewart family, said he was incredibly condescending and snooty. She knew another one also living in the south of Ireland who had a very intimidating presence and would watch her without saying anything. These people have something missing from their dna 😂
My mom worked with 3 generations of family. The older man who started the company was very kind and easy to talk to and his son was pretty nice as well but by the time the grandson worked there you could tell how out of touch he was with real people. It makes sense he never had to work for anything.
A variety is what is missing :p
😢
Ouch, I am a Stewart and I am sweet, the Stewart's I have met from Scotland through the Virginia Region of the Scottish Clan Society are humble, chivalrous and talented. They are good humored and well liked but in my distant extended family here in the USA there are admittedly some nasty people. Nasty people are insecure .
@@kathrynstewart-mcdonald thank you for the reply. yes that's true, sorry I hope I didn't offend you. Perhaps my sister had a once off experience. I'm sure it's a mixed bag. I also descend from Burdetts of Warwickshire, more of a distant connection though.
This should have been titled ‘ Can This Marriage Be Saved?’ As long as this couple are battling each other, there will be no progress in saving the house. They need to work as a team.
The expression goes like this: It is a great pleasure to carry stones from one place to another with people who are intelligent than having a tasty meal with people who are not intelligent. This couple is the second part of the expression.
Where is that from?
Linage does not automatically means it comes with brains as this couple have shown quite clearly. These people will end up with what they deserve and have worked so hard to achieve, NOTHING!!
Obviously , degenerate aristocrats at their best .
Inbred
Most of the episodes I watched the owners and their offspring put LOTS of effort into trying to make their mansions or castles help generate income to help pay the debts and restoration. They are usually elderly but still give it their all. Water damage and mold are usually what ruins their homes and the exorbitant prices of just the regular day to day upkeep...but they don't usually sit back and do nothing to help maintain their homes. It's often heartbreaking to watch them struggle and struggle they do. Keeping the tradition alive is very important. Shouldn't hate on them because they inherited something you could never afford. Just started this episode but this couple seem a bit different from the others. I'm sure the distress they feel of not being able to maintain their home causes a lot of friction between them.
@@notsogreen alcohol, i think, causes a bit of friction betwixt them
@@harridan. Exactly!
I love the dad. He’s pompous yet humble, formal yet casual. And 100% on the autistic spectrum.
You can tell they were a close family,so close that siblings probably produced this mutation.😕
After these people lose this home to overwhelming debt I hope a more deserving family takes it on, employs a savvy business plan and brings it back to glory.
What amazes me is that neither of them even considers *gasp* getting a paying job. That's how us plebs keep up with our houses.
They won't.
I mean if you own a large old manor and lands it makes more sense to use it to make money, getting a good job requires an education, experience, interpersonal skills etc which takes a long time to develop@@lynnw7155
This is ridiculous ..such pompous people if it was me and I had a family home for centuries with so much history I would do everything in my power to restore it to its glory days!!!
Yes @Michele Karl and we would be grateful to the learned and experienced people who help us do it too!!
Jealous much
@@pampennyworth Did you watch the video? Pompous, arrogant and a few other choice adjectives fit the bill. Who’s jealous of anyone living in a place that’s falling apart ?
I 100% agree. I think, they've grown in such a magnificent house, they don't know anything else and you can feel the lack of appreciation. :(
Unpopular opinion, but i like these two 💀😂
I’m really enjoying them also, clearly they are trolling for extra views.
I'm halfway through and I can't believe I'm actually rooting for them to fail... They certainly are a required taste to be around
*acquired taste
@@T--xk3hf I can't believe these are real people you're correcting. That's child level.
I can remember being in undergrad, and I stayed with a family similar to this family. Though I was in France, they refused to realize the Manor or Home was falling down around them. The family was nearly bankrupt and the couple refused to get some form of employment. She kept saying she was from the family or out of the lineage of Bonaparte and she was getting some money. Now there was money for Champagne, Gin, and the best cuts of meat, yet the home needed so much work. IDK....I love this channel!
@reidx512 yes living off the coatails of past glory inherited. Was the downfall of many Chateaus and Grand Estates next to Death Duties what else could they do in their eyes
that's funny coincidence since i saw painting of Duke of Wellington near the end of this video lol
too poor to paint. too proud to whitewash
You can buy those grand chateaux in northern france for the same price as a nice 3 bed semi in the uk. And the French laugh their asses off when the brits buy them cos they were badly built to begin with and never looked after 😂
So it’s obvious they weren’t really in dire straits with the house at the time and either wanted the publicity or the consultation. I had actually found them an amusing pair, until she treated Simon the way she did at the end and Francis smirkingly revealed to him they were in no hurry to do anything. Both of these self-centered people-users were made for each other.
Fascinating. I am amazed by the fact that they allowed it to be filmed.
This just came up on my feed, I'm not even going to give it 1 minute of my attention, 30 seconds of the intro was enough!
I got here today from 60 minutes Australia where they showed these 2 but not for long. A couple other families that looked better off. Still cocky as hell.
Such a lovely home with so much potential. When they do eventually lose it to the creditors I pray that it will go to someone who has the ability to restore it to it's original glory.
Maybe Taylor Swift will buy it. She could afford to have it completely restored in no time and she wouldn't have to host weekend hunting parties! 😂
@@jenniferdaniel1104 Go Taylor! Go Taylor!
Amazing. I look forward to the RUclips renovation from the next owner.
Aristocratic 800-year familial history and both of them as common as muck. It will make a splendid hotel if there's anything left to refurbish when they lose it.
Aristocratic means titled , this family are not , ancient nobility yes, definitely landed gentry and entitled. I wish then the best , we are all products of our environment and experience.
I saw this family in another show, in which the husband talked about slaughtering commoners and the French, and the eldest son presented as utterly smug and feckless.
She really doesn’t want anyone to stay in her home except her friends. That’s the whole reason she won’t drop the price.
She’s very immature and to me acts like she doesn’t even care about the home, just her life there now. Obviously either stupid or ignorant that the home is falling down around them and looks like a dump. Feels people should pay them just because they live in a derelict mansion? 😂
I think that both husband and wife are depressed and unable to bring themselves to do the work and make the required changes. What I do find intolerable was how rude they were.
They dontknow what work is.
Oh please! They are not victims.
Hear hear
I was initially very sorry for Simon who did his best to help and was spoken to so rudely by that vile woman, then realised anyone seeing this show would instantly not want to go there if thats whats she is like. Karma at its best.
What a fantastic ‘presenter’
Does not cover the professionalism of this Gentleman. Great program
They, along with this house, are a relic of a past long gone.
But the house is a beautiful, gracious relic. They are not.
Save the house throw out the fulfords and get a smarter pair of people to run it and maintain Englands dignity!
These people wouldn't know hard work if they fell over it. They just want to make money and not earn it. I think he's as thick as two short planks and she's a selfish Diva. They don't deserve to keep this house.
She works, he bullsh**s.
I was trying to be charitable, but…:-0
I was under the impression that landed aristocrats were supposed to be educated and refined, but this couple have dashed that perception.
@Master_Olsen_WonderDog you must be joking right?? Read some history!!!!!!
@@philippacrowe8499 No, I’m not kidding. My impressions were based on the late 20th century and early 21st century, not some archaic historical chronicles of landed aristocracy dating back to the Norman conquest. Moreover, my perception of landed aristocrats in Britain is that they made up the House of Lords, which admittedly I thought was the upper-crust, public schooled gentry of Britain. I hardly expected such a member of the distinguished gentry to be such a cad, uncouth, moron with an equally unimpressive wife and children.
Interbreeding and lead in the pipes 😂
Money doesn't buy class
Simon , I think your ideas were brilliant . That's something I've always thought about . All that people need is to be entertained, eat great food and stay in a beautiful room that would be affordable . They'd come back or spread the word and then money would be raised
Simon is an 👼...they don't deserve him.
i thought he was Tim nice but Dim
Simon is the sort of ghastly professional backside kissing business class oik who would sell his mother and lease it back for family gatherings and Christmas because that’s profitable.
These people are hilariously blind. They won’t listen to anything that will actually save their home. They 100% just don’t get it!
Yes, absolutely! Very well said! I couldn't possibly agree more! 👌👍🌼

Not with them in charge
Now Henry's house is beautiful and inside and out it puts this couples blue to shame
This woman doesn’t even folds linen the orderly way
Why does she have all that messy, mismatched linen anyway? What does she do with it? Strange.
She was stressed and upset.
What woman of class would marry that guy?
She's totally in denial and scared for the future it seems. Better to be defensive and walk away than face the reality. He's a 'put off tomorrow type" and laughs its off. Strange couple that don't seem to bring out the best in each other
A psychologist's observation of their behavior would be interesting . . .
I would offer the house to SPAB for their trainee repair students to practise on. I'd draft a 'dad's army' to help create a beautiful flower garden in one area and serve tea & cake in it like the National Trust. You could have pet show days, Halloween days, a maize maze, art & craft hobby weekends/holidays. In the UK it'd be SO easy to look at what the other famous country houses are doing for inspiration. Maybe blag Banksy to doodle in the hallway... 😄
Are you an ENTP personality type? ENTPs find creative and seemingly obvious solutions that other personality types can't see.
This was actually really funny. I absolutely loved it! lol

The most revolting people I have ever seen. Even if the house was in spectacular condition, they're still the most miserable, lazy "hosts". You couldn't pay me to stay there and put up with them. They'll just sit in the cold, drinking themselves to ruin while the house falls apart around them.

The house is a testament to what happens when you let your ego and pride ruin you. It’s like begging for someone drowning to grab a life vest while they insult you 😂 but let’s be honest, there’s a reason the house got to this state. I hope the buyer lives up to it when goes to auction

These are the type of people where if someone took over and got the place functioning and successful, they would say 'we were going to do that, but because of xyz...... and so on".
My goodness! They’re absolutely revolting people…. Can’t imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to, let alone paying to stay with these people! They don’t deserve any help at all….
I think she thought she was moving into a fairy tale but she married......... i think the family has married close in the past and how they’ve remained together all these years is a feat.
Imagine feeling so privileged that you'd rather go bankrupt than work for money! They come off as complete idiots.

Amazing episode of Inbread Fop Wars!
Some people are so proud and love living with the past achievements of what their ancestors did, the ones whom they don’t even know in person. That’s why it is easy to see the decline while the others are progressing.

Farms dont make much if any money, and so can only pay very small rents.
Well he never stopped talking about the room price including as much booze as you wanted... what a buffoon
I didn't think of that. Being permanently drunk would explain his slurred speech.
@@orcharddweller1109that's true, but i wouldn't be surprised if even that was mismanaged
Francis. Frances is a female name.
With their insipid behavior, and nonchalant attitude, I don't think they ever had any intentions of absorbing any of the advice that Simon tried to deliver to them, let alone implementing it. They're just not at a level of dire straits to be desperate enough to do anything about their situation. I think they just wanted another opportunity to be on television and show off their house. I'm sure they receive some sort of payment to appear on the show as well. I'm guessing that Francis is still lounging about the house half baked with a glass of scotch his hand reciting his boring dog stories thinking he's interesting.
😂
I think he is hilarious. He is a typical eccentric aristocrat. I would stay there, its rich in history.
This Simon guy is just someone trying to get a documentary done at other peoples expense. i am glad the lady picked up on it. For the people commenting here, try to see these people as ordinary people who don't own land. its not easy for anyone to invite strangers into your home. Its very emotional, especially for a wife.
The patience that guy has 😮
Watched this on TV a while back, quite rude pompous people.
...and boring. His stupid "dog on the table" story fell flat.
Well, that was like watching a British remake of the Adams Family. Only, more crass. This story is going to have a very unhappy ending. The shooting organizer's expression at the telling of the story about the Labrador on the table sums it all up.
They should do a reality show for pay, that's the way to cover renovations. Once renovated, they can be a b&b and have weddings; that could cover a lot. They talk shooting weekend, but 3000 acres could have golfing, farming, all sorts of options (show a diagram of the land to better decide.)
They did and they have all been on tv over the years
Beautiful house. Great owners.
It's hard to feel sympathy for this family. They made a name for themselves with these personas of arrogant fools, being filmed for "reality Tv" in 2004, 2012 (this show) and again in 2014. It sure looked to me like they were hamming for the camera, being dense, refusing to work if it's "not fun". One suspects they must have learned something, because they do have a website for their hotel/events venue but there is no telling how successful they are. Somewhere in there they got enough money to restore the Ballroom, so maybe being fools for the camera is a paying business model?
Thanks for the update.
Is it true that Kishandra has died? I read that in another comment.
Francis is a member of UKIP
@@Bombabingbong66 Well she posted a pic on Insta this month, so I guess not
That's an interesting thought (that they're doing it all only on camera). I was wondering the same thing, i.e what happened to them and their house in almost 11 years, since the program aired in 2012. So I googled it too. Turns out they actually tidied it up and host private tours and events there now. The tours are guided by the owners (Francis or his wife). So they seem to be doing ...okay, I guess. Go figure!
These people would have to pay me to stay in that crumbling house!
Bet it smells mouldy too.
Absolutely great strategy I learned from the "lady" is: you don't like what you're hearing? Leave the room with your head up high without saying a single word
It was so good to see this again. Do you have the other six episodes they made, if so, can you please please upload them.
It was so great to see Francis slam the door in Kishandas face, as Simon called her the “petulant child”. If ever there was a spot on description of a person. They act as if they are spoiled yet the state of that manor crumbling around them shows otherwise. It’s a shame that the house is in their hands. They definitely will not be leaving the house in better shape than they found it. 800 years. 800 years of sweat, toil and work by artisans through the years. 800 years is a testament to how great the ones who built it must have been. These people have done such a disservice to their family’s history. I think in the end the kids will either sell it off on their parents old age or after their death. I think this is the last generation of this family in this house, all because they are too arrogant and unwilling to change their thinking in any meaningful way.
As for Simon. That man has far more patience than most. I would have walked out much sooner. But, I bet when Simon thinks back on Francis slamming the door in Kishandra’s face, I bet he does so with a smile on his face.
The bratty son will probably flog it when he inherits and set himself up 9n a hotel room.
I've seen another video, a bit older with the whole family. The children are just as spoiled, especially the heir who was quite happy to eventually boot out the others, including his twin sister. She gets nothing because she's female.
They won't want to, but they'll probably have to sell the house, or some land. I don't know what's paying for their posh colleges.

"I am the servant of my slaves". Maintaining the glorious relics of the past. Always an admirable sacrifice.
"Serve the servants, Oh no"
This video has been out for three months and they’re still in business. Amazing!
You know what, they should make their own reality show, like the Kardashians. Keeping Up With The Fulfords! It would be hilarious, I bet a lot of people would wanna watch. Now THAT'S an idea.
