    We have heard a lot from Julie what it's like to marry into the British aristocracy. I'd love to flip the coin and I'd love Julie to ask Luke what is it like to marry an American. That would be my first question My second question would be what did he feel was the biggest culture shock when he came across the pond to meet Julie's parents or to learn about Julie's life or has he ever learned about Julie's life in America let's see that takes up question two and three. I'm sure I could think of something else but I think that would cover it and I'm sure you could break that down into five different questions.

    To Luke, Julie is relaxed, funny, sweet, dignified, and welcoming. Not to mention she has the determination to revive a family estate as well as raise a family and be a wife. Luke, you chose well.

    Julie calling the family bonkers is why they get along, because she is also completely bonkers, but that’s what works. Luke and Julie and Nestor and the Earl and Countess. Just wonderful!

    Hi there from Chicagoland!! Luke has often wondered why the channel had so many views but not nearly as much ‘likes’ or subscribers - well here is one reason: I watch RUclips on my 55 inch screen tv (so much better seeing such fabulous sites on a big screen). Watching on tv you cannot hit the like button. I have to go back to my computer, IPad or IPhone and hit the like button and as a human I forget sometimes!! Then I go back and practically hit days and weeks of ‘likes’ for the channels I subscribe to. It probably screws up your algorithm but I think - better late than never!!!!!

    Love it. After 26 years of living in the UK I still sometimes, secretly, wonder "How come I didn't get married into nobility here, why, why, why". Now that Julie mentioned not being able to have breakfast in your pyjamas sums it up! Snap! I would have started a riot. Saying this, love you guys. Much love.

    The first video of July I saw was , when she was showing the house in Italy. I thought it was an American woman in Italy! Then I noticed the title " viscountess" and that challenged my curiosity to find out more about her! Afterwards I was amazed by her personality and finally the whole family looked fascinating to me. Now I follow both of you constantly

    During the latest video, watching Luke’s dad and his sister walk through their old home/castle, I was blown away by how much Luke looks like his dad! I guess I had never realized it before. Are they alike in personality too?
    And yes, I would also love to hear about Luke’s reactions to your hometown in America! Love your channels!

    Are you related? I thought if you were royals you had to marry distant cousins?
    Are any of your children interested in the restoration of your homestead? Taking over when you pass it on?
    You both work really well together. So nice see. 😊

      We say it that way here in Pittsburgh, too. Or at least the people I know and grew up with do. Many of us also studied French from kindergarten through 12th grade, so it’s only natural.

    • @mplight2941
      @mplight2941 2 года назад +3

      Yes the East Coast has a greater influence of British/English/European than any other part of the country. We also learned French in school from 4th grade on. I moved to Southern California & it took me a very long time to pick up Spanish pronunciations of street names, towns, etc. I still get made fun of for the way I pronounce certain words or names. Apparently many of them I say like the English. Like orange. I say Ah- ringe & they say OR-ange. Lol who knew?

    Hello from Victoria, B.C Canada. Love both your channels. Discovered Julie’s tour of Floors Castle on TV. Had done a tour three in 1977 and met that duke she interviewed . I was not impressed with him when we accidentally wandered into his private garden. He was so young. Very brisk in his request to exit. Loved your tour.

    1. Where and how did you two meet?; 2. When did Vicountess Hichingbrook find out that Luke is a Viscount? Was it before her first visit to Mapperton? Did she find out the first time she arrived at Mapperton (as in, "Guess what, darling? I have a surprise for you!")?; 3. Do your children have titles?; 4. How many children do you have? What are their names and ages?; and 5. Are the boys attending fancy "public" schools such as Eaton or Harrow? If not, do they attend nearby comprehensives? xxx ooo --Writing from the Viscountess's hometown of Chicago!!! (Keep up the great work! I love the onscreen chemistry you both have!!)

    Having breakfast in your pajamas is just divine. Poor Brits...always so formal and standing on ceremony (said in a nice way--don't be cross). In your house, you should be able to do whatever you wish, when you wish. To Americans, having breakfast in our pajamas and such represents intimacy, and family connection--in America, if you have been invited to our home, it stands to reason that you are already close to us as a family and that eating together in the morning before we get dressed and such is a good way to wake up, get nourishment, start our day together. Also, it makes so much more sense to wash up and brush your teeth AFTER breakfast than before. If you have been cooking, showering and dressing afterward takes the cooking smells from you and your clothing. You are nourished, cleaned, refreshed and ready for the day. Makes so much more sense to me!

Love the stories and history of your beautiful home and hope to one day travel from Windsor, Ontario Canada and experience Mapperton for ourselves. Thank you

Americans can’t be bothered to dress nice for anything. But why do British aristocrats have so many names? It seems overly complicated. Btw… I did subscribe.

    Your husband is a funny and lovable “sh*t starter”! This has been enjoyable to watch.

    I am an American married to an Englishman from Stoke on Trent, where we now reside. I really understand what Julie means when she talks about adjustments. I am so glad not to have married into the aristocracy.....marrying a Stokie is enough to deal with, lol. But I will say that on the other side of the coin....when I took my husband to Texas to meet the family he just flat out did not want to come back...he loved it, just as I love living in England.

    I think my advice to my daughter, if she was marrying into a position such as yours, would be to major in the building sciences with emphasis on roofing and plumbing!😊
