As winter approaches, the estate is being transformed. In the house, renovations commence on the grand staircase. It's taken a year of planning - but no one's thought to consult Lord Bath. Meanwhile, Ceawlin and Emma become first-time parents, and a surprise business offer leads to a formal banquet.
Welcome to Reel Truth History, the home of gripping and powerful documentaries. Here you can watch both full length documentaries and series that explore some of the most comprehensive pieces of world history.

Caewlin is very considered and thoughtfully kind in his responses to questions posed to him. The sign of a true gentleman.
With two self absorbed parents. A father with an overriding hedonistic lifestyle and a mother absent for most of the year, how on earth did Caewlin grow up to be such a lovely young man. Parents more interested in their own desires than giving love and nurturing to their son and no doubt their daughter too.
Emma appears to be very kind and normal - a breath of fresh air. What a great life she has!
Wish they made a tv series with this family!!
Normally I’m put off with ridiculous, wealthy celebrity tv shows, especially in my country (US), but this was very interesting! The family and their estate is a part of English history and the younger couple seem easy going and down-to-earth! The baby is amazingly CUTE....I guess he is no longer a “baby” now. ☺️
One thing is obvious - a key job requirement of being a British Lord is the ability to reliably and effortlessly metabolize large quantities of wine while conducting business lunches.
Lady Longleat is gorgeous and classic! Ceawlin is so lucky to start a family. Impressive!
This couple is so lovely! I think they have their priorities in place. Plus, they have the stress of managing a large estate and employing lots of people. Blessings to this family! love, m
Maureen Lippincott not as stressful as cleaning up after a family, grocery shopping, appointment enforcer and chauffeur.
@ Actually being responsible for other people's employment is monumental pressure. Can't even compare it to everyday cleaning or picking up.
Well, Ceawlin is the Marquess now. He can finally get rid of those murals, repaint the walls of the grand staircase and do whatever else he's been trying to do for ten years. He could even add the "e" back to his family's last name.
The baby looks like a perfect mix of both parents. Congratulations!!
I feel sorry for the son for having such an eccentric father!
Pinky jones that is libelous.
Pinky jones still lying she not Meghan fool😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She seems so sweet for some reason i feel sorry for her. She seems so innocent.
So glad to see an estate being preserved- so many castles abandoned and deteriorating- I wish more old homes could be saved-
Precioso bebè!
The onus would be on the younger generation.
Wonderful and fascinating view of the British upper class. Very down to earth couple!!!!
Lord Bart is living a different life but how beautiful it is to respect each other like they are doing .
What a BEAUTIFUL BABY AWE He's adorable Congratulations. ❤️
I feel for the young couple. Everyone seems to have a judgement to make. Including the staff.
Cathie Matthews I agree ☝🏽
That entire staff are a bunch of poisonous *VIPERS* that need to be fired!
@@LeenaStark these are the type of people Meghan Markle was up against in the palace. Ppl who’ve been working there for generations and the slightest impression of any change of magnified. Even things like, “she likes to eat oatmeal for breakfast”
The curator’s desk !!! She needs a system in place now ....and someone to help her organise and modernise because she won’t go on forever and the person who takes over will have a complete nightmare sorting it all out , if they can .
If I were lord Bath I’d see to that now .
That's exactly what I was thinking. What is her succession plan? How will her successor make sense of her haphazard "system" of record keeping?
Emma is so down to earth
This family and their circus is so weirdly intriguing 😳
You are all fantastic!!!!!! The best shows I have seen. Seeing your elephant relocated brought me to tears. I wish all of you God's love and blessings. Your new son is extremely handsome and will have a wonderful life.
I like Downton Abbey better.
What a gorgeous couple. I’ve loved this series!
I loved this series too. Watching this in 2023😊
I admire the family and the employees for their ingenuity and their desire and courage to face change in an economy that could mean "death" if you attempt to maintain the status quo.
I admire the Lord’s tenacity. It takes courage to continue the legacy.
I wish you much success in coming up with new revenue schemes.
It’s beautiful how devoted the workers are 🙂
With the 7th Marquess of Bath’s recent passing, it’s only a matter of time now before the seafoam green is gone from the grand entry. I was surprised to see it still green on an Instagram photo from the 2019 holiday season recently. I’d guess the repainting will be within the year though later due to quarantine and rescheduling of experts. I’m sure the repainting in a more historically correct color will be a relief to historians and curators.
Emma is half Nigerian....what a Beauty.
Not really
Where she gets her high cheek bones and lips from
Yes, she is 🤗
I guess once Lord Bath, passes on.. his son will paint the green room to his liking
I'd call the painter as soon as the old man kicks off.
Wikipedia says that he passed in hospital from the Corona virus. They haven’t yet updated the Longleat website to reflect that Ceawlin and Emma are the 8th Lord and Lady Bath now.
He died IN April
As of April 2020, Ceawlin became the 8th Marquess of Bath. He’s officially the Lord of the estate. I wish him much success in all his endeavors.
She is so sweet emma
I found it funny how the Lady thought it was odd to be awake at all times in the night with a new born. Oh to be rich!
Shes a first time mom
Pathetic, huh? And having another lady 'helping' her. FFS. If she'd worked ever-changing shift work, she'd not find it odd at all.
She looks amazing with that pregnancy weight on her
Emma looks a lot like Chrissy Teigan
But prettier
@@nanapearlpearl2696 yes
This Emma looks and acts way classier though
So, it wasn't just me thinking that She has a true British accent though, so she's been there many years, if not born there. I'll bet the baby will be a beautiful toddler one day. Her hubby is fairly handsome too and tall.
Lady Emma's Dad is an Oil tycoon from Nigeria and mum is English. She was born and raised mostly by her mum .
Baby John 😍😍😍🤗
Love this documentary. Just beautiful!
Who was interested what skin colour baby will have?
Melianna- 🤣
Love that the couple is so down to earth. One comment. Her mom needs to get a refund from whatever plastic surgeon did her face. I don’t think she asked to look like a platypus at her consultation......
Kristy Savoie I think she has just had too much done. Her face can hardly move!
LOL!!! 🤣🤣
I agree with you. It looks like more then one procedure has be done to her face. Either way she went overbroad.
Lady von Plastic
@@zrtopics2418 hahahahahahahah
Am from Kenya & love guys......I wish I would visit it's so beautiful.
I love it when interviewers ask questions that make people uncomfortable!
When will the next episode be on!?!? 💓 I just powered through all of these today!! 😭
unfortunately there's only three episodes
@@m.edwards9849 well that makes me sad -ish
Get rid of the green walls!!!!! Lord Bath either needs to be in or out. He can’t give it to his son and keep making decisions on behalf of the grounds. Horrific! All that work to take the paintings down only to put them back
up again 😳😫😤
Did this lady say “Emma didn’t have to do a thing, she had 4 slaves”?????? 😧😮😡
Nneka, yes she did but she was joking! The English have a sophisticated sense of humour and strong laws against slavery. Not even the aristocracy are allowed to break those laws. Nor do they need to, their employees are well paid and as you can tell from this, happy in their jobs.
Sage Riley agreed.
The amount of paper they have piled on their desks makes me cringe. That mess!
That curator is a messy , a total no go
Lord Bath is still living his best life!!
Magsomagpie he is obnoxious
He was
Lord Bath is the coolest lord I've ever seen!
I love C&E, though...what genuine, lovely people. C is brilliant and is clearly madly in love with the beautiful and passionate E. On a side note... C's eyes are so big and expressive, like Princess Beatrice's.
i enjoyed everything .
She walked out in 6 inch heels and glamorous.
46:34 Emma, whoooooah what a RBF!
Oh Lordy that’s a lot of drink
chinese new year at an aristocratic estate in england?? where nobody there is even asian?? what??
They could have done a really lovely christmas event and gotten plenty of local interest too...
They gotta pay homage to their owners....
@Pinky jones stop shouting. ....
We had a Chinese Festival of Lights running about three years in the summer in Toronto. It was not on a large scale like that. It was interesting. I attended twice.
That curator is a mess who works in a place messed up like that
She might want to change things, but with an eccentric boss on the grounds, ouch. She needs a few assistants.
I'm not crazy about "old" stuff. and smells, but...history and the collection is nice. She's on the ground floor, so to speak. When the old Lord is gone...my the changes that can be made! Did you see his "art"? Oh my.
She’s an old school intellect/conservator...you move one thing and it sends her into a state of confusion...
I honestly don't understand what Chinese lanterns, has to do with British estates and heritage. They could have done, a beautiful, classic and traditional English Christmas village.
Complete with trees, lights and classic treats.
A lot of (not the heir) sons of the aristocracy went off to China, Japan, India, Africa, etc. to make their fortunes back in the day. I suspect they wanted something exotic. Really what does a zoo have business being on an "English" estate? I loved the end result. So colorful and other world like. I imagine it was spectacular in person. I'll have to google and see what they've done since. Overall I've read the Longleat estate is doing quite well now. The cash, commitment and vision needed. If left to the old Lord...they'd be broke!
Visitors are mostly from the area and they're not going to go to the same thing over and over again. It's just a theme for a few weeks. It's not permanent. The year after there will be another theme. This is how Longleat is one of the most revenue-generating estates and will survive for the next generations. Lots of estates are closing down because they're not renewing or generating revenue.
I like the lantern festival!
Lovely gracious family
Emma is gorgeous. John is beautiful 👦boy. Cute
But why the need for a nanny? Not like she has an "outside " job. Drives me nuts
18:27 Did she just say Emma had slaves help put her wedding dress on for her???
Yep I wonder if she still has a job
That’s what I was thinking. Sounded like she was a little tipsy
"four WILLING slaves" to be exact.......(after the damage was done of course).,,lol
She did and then said “willing slaves”...😲🤔 so confused!
It’s called a joke. Lighten up!
Megan Markle should have asked Emma how to survive and accept a Nobel wife's role, but again Emma was raised upper class and has a billionaire father, so this life isn't completely foreign to her, she understands the position she is in.
Totally
10000% agreed. People can see and tell who are classy and who just, fake.
Migraine Harkle is a phony. She's not to be compared with Lady Emma.
Is there only 3 episodes.
Aaggghhh that light green
they had a whole party and lord bath didnt step down, he said he would just look down from his window?? wth does he do up there??lol
Beautiful Baby! Congrats!
I'm a fairly reasonable person and American and i'd like to sincerely apologize for Bob. He's the type of guy who makes everyone hate us. I promise most of the country is normal. You just don't see us in the news and alot of us don't vote.
As an American I don't think you can apologize for Bob. He's Canadian not American
Infodumping time! I live in a retirement community. There is a very short flight of stairs from the lobby to the living room/dining room combo. It has treads and very sturdy rails. Across the hall from the "grand staircase" is a steep ramp. I call it the"servant's stairs".
LOL...The curator and the Lord needs each other.....they have matching tables.
They will make money if they get professional help restoring their home. What a lovely family. His dad behaves a little African, and his choice of music (Afrobeats) is a clear example, but that doesn't change his identity! He's welcome to the cookout! 😁
I believe that he loves his son, he just wants to be involved in the decision-making process.
(edited)
"His dad behaves very African." What does that mean?
the thing that is terrible is the lack of modernity of some of the individuals employed.. even the computer, Lord Bath had on his desk behind him; we had those in like 2nd grade..and it looks like everyone of them doesn't understand a filing system or any type of organization.. a bunch of hoarders..
Austin D I think the young couple are nice but I think slowly the will change everything. I like how they started to charge the correct amount of rent that reflects the market. Once the old lord is dead and gone they can implement more change.
I have the same thought on the lack of filling system. As for hoarding, I think the importance lies within those pieces throughout the estate..... even the look of the landscape remain unchanged for ages.
I guess the way I see it is... preservation of a family heritage is hoarding and there's no way around it.
Have you ever watched the show To The Manor Born....those old out dated workers come with the manor..they kind of have to wait them out..you should check out that show it gives alot of insight..some of these out dated people are the very characters in that show..some of the scenarios are the same lol..Ive always lived English Dramas etc an that is one of my favourites I think it was made in the late 70s early 80s its a comedy
Nice docu
My liver hurts watching the toasts 😂
I agree: Bob, and his handpicked micromanager, are horrible fits. She has no idea how to manage people or teams and is completely over her head. He leaves her to do all the work so he can be a pastoral figurehead behind a desk.
The couple is lovely. I hate the mess! Can they get their office employe to clean and tidy their offices? I mean they should be organize ASP
I like the green color for the staircase too.
I am Chinese, I never know elephant and Chinese New Year are related. Oh, by the way, that elephant is in Indian costume
Wow beautiful
How do they cut that lawn
The curator needs to get in this century. How about hire a couple of teenagers , to scan index all that freaking paper.
Lisa jessop... for your information , are you aware that if a Solar Storm were to hit our planet then ... ALL TECHNOLOGY AS WE KNOW IT TODAY WILL BE " FRIED " AND BECOME FOREVER IRRITRIEVABLE / USELESS ( there will be no cloud with back - up info ) including your car engine ? Are u aware of this science ? Do you know that this will inevitably occur sooner than later, maybe in your lifetime ? As certain as there will be another Massive Earthquake or Tsunami or Hurricane or Tornado or Big Flood... there will be another Solar Storm to hit our planet !!! The last one , if I am correct , was a bit over a hundred yrs ago ... at that time we did not even have electricity !!!! People like you make me shake my head , you are so secure in all things electronic ... bank - accounts, important information and all essentials and security of your lives ... yet you have no clue that WHEN this happens again, because of our dependability on this new technology, well, it will shut our lives down and send us right back to the 1800's or even further !! Keep that in mind and educate yourself a bit on this subject . Btw , accidents like fire or weather phenomenon can cause information ( on paper ) to be destroyed as well but in this case ... we can still try to find solutions to control that !!
@@XSCAPE-eg2dl We have solar storms all the time; almost every time you hear about power grids going down, that's what's happened. Could a really big one, say an X-10+, shut the planet down? Sure. But should we really not bother using electronic technology just because that possibility exists, as you seem to imply? If you do feel like that, why are you even here? Why are you using a computer to watch shows about the idle rich?
@@bob_._.yes , technology creates order and convenience in our modern lives , I grew up around a science family ... absolutely love it , our future because of science, will be an incredible one , however , my point was ... as many forms ( even ones that may seem backward and outdated ) of preservation for our most important information ... should be considered !!!
@@XSCAPE-eg2dl Then why did you go all Chicken Little on Lisa for suggesting they scan documents into a database?
@@bob_._. btw ... YES , solar storms occur constantly and our magnetic field protects us most of the times but educate yourself on the subject before speaking about it !
Best ad for the removal of the Class system I've ever seen.
Before u watch this please go watch "Inside Britain Super Rich Longleat Estate" episode 1"
Can you imagine the value of the estate would not get you through the door of Lurssen to buy a 300 foot boat. You may be able to buy the boat but you would have to charter it like crazy.
I like they look at them
I can' t imagine being a brand new mom with cameras and peek-a-boos everywhere. Here the grandmother typically moves in and helps the new mom to transition into her new role. There's something sad about Emma. She seems lonely to be honest, though she desperately tries to be happy. I feel for both Ceawyln and Emma, their parents (the ones on camera) seem REALLY off. How did they turn out so normal?
And what's with the curator? She seems to have some thinly veiled aught against Emma. What was her little dig about her having slaves?🤔They're called ladies maids sweetie. Maybe it's all that clutter and trash in her office getting next to her. Maybe she needs a little help getting things in order. She'd feel better, less 'frail'.
RIP LORD BATH
I cannot find episode 4 here... has anyone been able to find it on RUclips ?
They only made 3 episodes for a one-off documentary.
Oh lord... not sure about the elephants... kind of like a Chinese circus. I love Lord Bath my mother in law was a Bath. The older Lord looks familiar- weird- has he ever been to Baja California Sur?
Anyone else feel like the train guy maybe sabotaged the tracks??
I did at first..
Maybe.
I assumed that he knew 😂🤣
These people live in a pigsty everybody's office is a mess their apartments are a mess.
Eccentric characters
judgemental? What about Einsteins office???
Bet Emma had Pre -enclampsia ,head ache early baby etc.
A H- pre eclampsia. 38 (completed) weeks gestation is not considered 'early'...
48:55... He wants to guzzle down that wine😏. Its may be a tradition to swallow a glass of wine in one gulp...3 times his cup has been quite full. Since he knowns the tradition should toast with smaller portions...that is to avoid intoxication.
Does Bob still work there?
I hope not as he and Daisy are a disaster
His LinkedIn says he does 😒
So much better then the Kardashians 😊 beautiful baby ❤
Emma is very beautiful 😍👌
How odd, she hands the baby to someone else when her mom has her arms out to the baby.
That was very rude, I cringed.
@@pebetsingwana Yes, must be some issue between them. That grandmother was longing to hold him, and was rebuffed. Sad really.
That WAS weird. Didn't they say she there to help her daughter since the baby's birth? It must be some behind the scene stuff they're not showing.
I noticed... But maybe her lips Ar hurting that plastic surgeon messed her up
@@catherinemumbua8251 lol she's a Nigerian so there is a huge possibility her lips are natural
Was the dragon float made of glass bottles
The outside quite beautiful, but yhe inside, I'm not impressed at all, it's just a house
I wouldn't want to live there
I'm sure it's quiet the life.,most would not know. The lady of the house needs to have st least four children, so that eill not be alone. It's really lovely. I would love to visit. I have been to visit two different palaces. And was not at impressed. Itbead really boring. Cold and uguly they were on a mout, I hope I spelled it right..
They were castles. To be correct.
Helen Boula : they mainly showed the private quarters, which look cluttered. I’m certain that the historical rooms are fabulous.
10:39 she ignored her mom outstretched hands 😳
I bet you guys wouldnt guess the Hippo is the most dangerous animal on the property.
I think it's Bob
The cute baby heir apparent , only time will tell what shape the mansion will take
Is it not important in the UK to instill to new mothers the importance of supporting a newborn's head?
Bob is a creep.
That Ceo is ridiculous..? Chinese decorations at Christmas..why not have traditional regency Christmas theme..didn't Emma go to school with sir David Tangs son
Girlonfire 2.0 I think it has something to do with the deal with China
Chinese New Year is a big deal and usually in Jan or feb. maybe not being busy during Christmas gives the family and employees time to enjoy their Christmas.
