I worked for the daughter of one who was living on Lake Champlain a century after her mother, Adele, the daughter of Emily Vanderbilt, had the most expensive wedding in America & honeymooned @ Biltmore then spent a year traveling around the world. One of Shiela (correct spelling) Lawrence’s two girls married Louis Auchincloss & was related by marriage to Jackie Kennedy. The other married a Boston Winthrop. Fascinating women who were either very nice or very not…
I was familiar with the story of Consuelo Vanderbilt but this is the best, most uplifting account I have heard. I knew nothing of the other heiresses. However, interjecting clips of Downtown Abbey was annoying, distracting and unnecessary.
The "lottery of birth" certainly dictates the life we will live. Born into wealth or poverty, there will be challenges. Free will determine a life well lived, or one of suffering. Be it stepping out of a Rolls Royce, or standing in a food bank seeking food.
It appears that Consuelo was really taller than most women in the old footages. And she had a really beautiful face, graceful movement and long neck. She was wealthy and admired, but her first love and marriage was tragic. Glad she remained strong through it all and her life finally had a beautiful ending. She had a great legacy.
@@genesisguzman9883 None of that would be your life tho. What we see is the rich lives. Most of us would be very poor and living in horrible air quality and work condictions. Normal life in that tine period was pretty bad.
Consuelo Vanderbilt if her marrige was annulled was her eldest son not elidgble for his birthright of Dukedom & the palace that was restored ? Uk laws have strict male premejmeta
I was familiar with all but not Florence Gould she reminded me of Coco Chanel. I hardly think Megan Markle is a good example of anything positive ......
If you followed her before her connection to the Windsors and the nasty people started working to break her you'd think differently. She led a very positive and charitable life.
Why - because she’s half-black. You are really showing your demonism. You don’t know a thing about her but the fraudulent narratives of racist Brit and American whites and that she’s half-black. Forget that she’s a self-made millionaire. You think the goal should be to be on your back like these lazy women. If you look her up, she’s actually the 17th cousin to that cult in palaces. They would have never let her in if she wasn’t of his blood line. But you go ‘head. 🤨🙃
Were you familiar with the lives of these women?
No I'm learning very interesting
No, I wasn't aware of these women. Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it.
So glad the gem is in a museum and thats where it should remain
I thought it felt to the bottle of the ocean... until Britney got it back 😅
Great video thanks for posting
Great Documentary

Excellent vlog!!

There is a difference between vlog and video. This is a video

Most of the clips are from HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”
There are a few shots from "Downton Abbey" and "The Gilded Age." I thought both added great visuals of the period covered in the video.
@notagain2806 I agree. She certainly did a much better job than I ever could have. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Consuelo was extraordinarily tall for a woman of the time.
5'9"
Can you please do Edie Sedgwick? Please
There's a movie about Grey Gardens and a documentary.

@@lisapop5219 Thank you for correcting me Lisa, I made an error. I'll try to never make an error again.
I wonder if the souls of the miners who died mining for this diamond was channeled into it.
Oh, interesting theory!
Yes watch Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler it happens.
Now I wonder, too!! 😮
@nancygarza6523 such a tragic movie, but so good!
Money does not buy class nor make you royal
And none of these will make you a good person.
Please tell that to Meghan Markle.
@ my comment was directed at her 😹
Tell the consort who thinks she’s queen 😡
@ well at least she is English I was thinking more of a duchess from a country that fought hard to get rid of royalty 🤔
This very interesting documentary about American wealthy women. WHY does it feature a British narrator?
Because she is very good?!
It's AI. You can tell because the same information is repeated over and over.
Proving that all the money in the world cant buy you class and good taste, Setting a gem like that in a dogs collar is offensive and so trashy
I wish we were in the ' Victorian Era.
lol no you don't, life expectancy was very low in those times.
I sometimes wish this too. But then I remember they didn't have air conditioning then, so I change my mind. LOL!
The dresses. The French interior design. The parties. The Victorian homes!!!
@@genesisguzman9883 Yes, that would be so much fun in cool weather. But not hot weather.
@@genesisguzman9883 None of that would be your life tho. What we see is the rich lives. Most of us would be very poor and living in horrible air quality and work condictions. Normal life in that tine period was pretty bad.
Hardly tragic.
The double-edge of wealth is evidence of the fact that there is no escape from suffering in this existence. Why try?
Enjoy your day, ma'am.
Hmmm, good question.
How does Kimberly guilfoil and Donald Trump jr = a transatlantic partnership akin to dollar princesses? They are both American.
I didn't see the similarities at all. Still can't believe everything can we
They are both trash
The Gargoyle is not even in a relationship with Drug jr anymore.
Guilfoyle never married Trump Jr. That correction needs to be made. Maybe they equate Trump with American Aristocracy?
Definitely some kind of faux pas
Rich, Privileged and Aloof!
The hope diamond is not cursed.
Alva was a narcissist, devilishly JEALOUS of Consuela.
🌹Long-Live ! 🌹

American wealth but not American royalty

Agree
Wow! That was ugly. Shame on you.
@wonnie64 It was honest. Everyone has a right to his or her opinion.
