As a woman from Illinois I was quite surprised to listen to how you speak and how familiar! I am quite certain you must be from around Chicagoland, as am I. I am about your age too. How terribly interesting that both of you were from Illinois!
Some People forget that marriage is an amalgamation of two families. You gain duties as well as entitlements. Good on you.
Yes, some people who recently married into the royal family, for example, seemed to have not considered this at all....😒😉🤔😳
@@lucyvandervort6191 some people had a much harder time just being physically different. Diana was torn to shreds by the press and she was from a well established aristocratic family.
@@kaashee Well said. Let's hope Lucy had the intellectual fortitude to comprehend your response.
@@patricialeftwich3140 people confuse cerebral fortitude for leftism sadly.
@@kaasheeIndeed. Equally, they confuse a severe lack of emotional intelligence, decency and objectivity for being " Conservative". Rebranding is something we all need, badly.
You know why I like Julie Montagu and enjoy her posts, comments etc? - She is 100%. authentic.
Thank you Catherine, that's so kind of you 🥰
Julie is like most Americans from flyover country, very friendly and down to earth. We are not anything like one sees on TV shows.
She truly seems to be, a charm to follow and listen to.
As an American, I love Julie's enthusiasm and sense of wonderment and respect. She is so invested in her home and history of her family.
She is a love! Reminds me of my two daughters!❤
Expensive tiaras are often made to be convertible so they can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, etc. Princess Charlene of Monaco's tiara from 2011 is also a necklace, for example.
I like that idea of multi use. Reminds me of all the cool ways Diana would wear all her fabulous jewels.
Interesting… guess it is the royal way to get a bang for your buck. I didn’t know this! Thanks for sharing.
Sadly, she wears it in neither form. She wore it once in a photo shoot as a tiara and once as a necklace at a function. I would be wearing it to the car wash if I had it.
If I had to wear a necklace as a tiara, I would rather stay homeless living in a tent.
@@solangelalebron1348 sounds like you're already there darling
I LOVE watching this show! Even though she is American, she has a respect for the traditions and history for her Husband and his family. I feel she really wants to learn. Wonderful too, that she tries to incorporate her own American customs, but not in a "mine is better than yours" attitude. It is just such a joy to watch. And that Tiara! I bet she was taking that necklace off now that she knows....also looks like the two end pieces could be brooches.
Thank you for your kind words dmo116! Please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
Very true & I also give her in-laws some credit too. There are plenty of aristocratic British families that would be less than amused by the wife of the future Earl doing Bravo reality shows and yoga on TH-cam etc. Julie is very lucky to have found a lovely family that embraces her for who she is and doesn’t try to make her into something else...and they’re lucky to have found her too because she seems like lots of fun.
Agreed.
She’s nuts. I’m American and can’t stand her.
It’s a shame we can’t say the same thing about MM .
Julie, you are living the dream, but what I love is that you don't take one minute for granted. You are full of awe and wonder. Your excitement is contagious!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Mapperton is safe in your hands.
Wow, thank you!
I've just discovered this page after the pool cleaning and it's just so interesting.
So did I!
Coincidentally somehow I too only found this channel via the pool video
So interesting to see the lovely Tiara!
Loved the pool cleaning vid!
I’m not going to lie . This made me tear up a bit. How lovely is it to have someone who understands you looking after you from above.
🥰
She has such a wonderful energy and aura. She looked so happy on her wedding day!
I love the fact that the history of family tiaras often reflect national historic events, or can be 'dismantled' to form clips, necklaces and brooches, etc.
You my dear, are a breath of fresh air. Your excitement over everything your learning is contagious, funny and interesting.
😊 thank you
I think it's every girl's dream to wear a diamond tiara for a special occasion, it must have been so magical and it's gorgeous.
So happy for you Julie to find a true connection to someone other than the immediate Montagu family. It must be lovely for you.
Thank you so much! It really is! xx
I love the organic feel of the tiara as well as the symbolism behind it. Stunning!
The tiara is amazing and it's awesome to find out how much history there's behind it. I love the fact they make such a piece of jewelry totally convertible.
Terrific tiara. It is an immeasurable honor to wear tiaras with history.
I adore this lady, she is real and so down to earth ♥️
The tiara looks really stunning when it is actually on your head.
American grandmothers always have a special treat or present ready when their grandchildren visit. My grandmothers and great grandmothers always did. Sometimes it would be a coloring book and crayons but my favorite were the homemade cookies.
I am an fellow American from Illinois living in the former British Colony of Zambia. It is so fun to watch your channel. We golf in Sugar Grove when I am home for a visit!
This woman radiates joy 😊
You were a gorgeous bride. You oozed happiness and joy.
The universe was showing off when Julie was made.
Julie is lit from the inside. Julie always seems to be incandescent.
I adore her presence.
Australia.
Thank you so much!!!
I actually enjoyed this one, finally an American who doesn’t try to force her culture obnoxiously and that she knows how to ask questions on areas where she’s not sure off, making me smile as we learn together where she actually seems interested and driven in learning the history of her husbands family. I hope you have a blessed marriage and thank you for sharing the beautiful story with all of us!
Marrying an aristocrat is completely different from marrying into a reigning European house.
@@HumanofTerra Either way, it's still a beautiful marriage and great opportunity to learn about history.
@Rae • Upper Left Citystead 🌱 I see! My apologies if I sound offensive to you or anyone else! I think I’ve met too many online that are quite ignorant 😅
Your excitement and joy of learning things about your husband's family is contagious! I'm amazed that an American girl can make English manor house living exciting and fun to watch. I can't get enough of your videos and uploads. You quite possibly could be the best ambassador for Britain and it's amazing heritage. I hope your husband was as excited as you were when you told him all you had learned about the tiara.
Thank you so much!
It might make it even more special because she’s American and wasn’t born into this!
I adore this program and cannot get enough of Mapperton and it’s history. When Julie travels to the other castles I feel as if I’m walking through these gorgeous homes right alongside her. Let us all hope this program is renewed for another season or two or three...
Devoted Mapperton fan from Kentucky USA
Thank you so much! Can't wait to start filming Season 2!
Every summer we would head to Beaulieu for a half day trip to the motor museum and a picnic in the grounds. It's very familiar country because it's close to where I grew up in Bournemouth.
Been living in Australia now for 35 years. The one thing I miss is the south coast, especially Dorset, with its pretty villages, its understated homely great houses and its Jurassic coastline.
What a stunning tiara!! I too was adorned with a tiara of roses for my English wedding in 1999...however, the ones in mine are made from a type of plasticine...and, alas, there's not a single diamond in it!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing life with us...💗💗💗
I just saw the “pool” episode and have now subscribed! I shared it with my mother who will enjoy it as well.
Julie looked gorgeous on her wedding day, and what a beautiful way to be welcomed into the Montagu family! The tiara is truly stunning, and the possibility that Alberta might have worn it as well, makes theirs, an even more meaningful connection.
This channel is amazing, the way Julie tells the story of her husband's estate and of their family and home is so engaging and very interesting!
Such a beautiful tiara and you looked fabulous in it
The tiara is absolutely stunning. For me it was made even more beautiful when you learned the history behind it. It made such total sense when she explained it. I would have loved to seen The tiara taken off its frame so you could have seen the necklace by itself. The jewelry of that time. Is just amazing and the way they constructed things was so unbelievably detailed. I love how you are so interested in your husband's family. If I lived there I would be so interested in the history of that family and that place. I have always loved portraiture of the early part of this century and before. I have also always wondered about the people in the portraits. What kind of lives did they leave and what did they see during that lifetime.
Julie is such a lovely person . I admire her for taking such care of her husbands family history. She is making history of her own. That is so lovely for their children. Beautiful family all of them. Best wishes to you Julie from Kentucky!!
Julie just seems so lovely and down to earth. Now being part of British nobility, she could easily be arrogant and pompous, but she couldn’t be less humble. It’s not about changing herself, it’s about embracing and recognizing that their children also have a British side that she herself wants to learn more about. How delightful.
Thank you so much! x Julie
Julie has MUCH MUCH MORE CLASS than that american divorcee who married into royal family.
Well it isnt all about everyone else and fitting in and serving everyone else. Being "humble" or I would use the words loving and open and interested shouldn't preclude a foundation of love and respect for self and what you offer as just as valid an individual as everyone else.
@@saravine3473 Which American divorcee are you referring to as there are now two.
Ur father in law seems so sweet ❤️❤️
Every family needs a tiara. Ah I use to work in Albemarle Street, Mayfair. Should have picked one up when I worked there.
The tiara looks incredible and very pretty …. A real surprise with all the history behind it!
I’m an American Tiara and my mother is a Montague. 🥰
That tiara caught my eye straight away! I just love the beautiful floral theme!
The motif is just wonderful!!!!
They missed the whole point it’s a rose tiara so it quite might be a Tudor tiara since their emblem was the rose 🌹
I thought the tiara looked absolutely stunning on you on your beautiful wedding day! You were glowing so and so obviously happy and in love with your husband! I love your show. You bring a fresh American perspective to all that you are seeing and learning. You are teaching us so much as well.
Oh my goodness, I think that's my favourite tiara I've seen to date
It was so different! Unexpected. I can just imagine how she felt seeing it for the first time and then getting to wear it. Breathless!
Julie, I’m so, so glad you shared a closeup and history of your family Tiara. I’m into tiaras and had previously seen a single photo of you wearing it at your wedding. Florals are my favorite type Tiara and this one is exceptional.
Thank you so much Deanna! Please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
The curves of flower petals soften the crackle of light flashes from the diamonds as opposed to mean pointy designs.
Wow two American ladies wore the Tiara how interesting, I like Julie shes down to earth not arrogant or stuffy her husband is a nice man too . His parents are so grounded and full of valuable history its a joy to watch. The children will grow up courteous and kind too I bet love from Oz x
Just found your wonderful channel. Thankyou for the education and such fun info
You are so welcome!
You wear that tiara well… it’s doesn’t wear you. You are stunning!✨
I love this tiara so much! I’m so glad this is still being worn in modern times! We need more tiaras! I’m a new subscriber, I adore your reaction to hearing the history.
I’m just having so much fun watching these shows. You & husband looked fabulous on your wedding day. Adorable.
What a sweet remembrance your FIL has of Alberta. How lovely.
Julie Montagu is a WONDERFUL addition to all levels of British monarchy and high class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A TERRIFIC historian, a BRILLIANT, APPRECIATIVE woman!! What a pleasure to watch and a huge thank you from those of us who will always remain plebs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Her personality is a breath of fresh air
How lovely to find the History behind the tiara , I'm English and married to an American, so I know all about the blending of cultures , it's nice to hear that she was a sweet lady and always had a present , I think she would be very proud to know a fellow American wore her tiara and loves it, wonderful memories.💖😊👑
You might want to send the tiara in for a cleaning and possible repair, the silver seems to be very oxidized, cleaning will bring it to life again.
I just discovered you, and you are such a joy! I loved it when you said in a different video that Americans tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve as I’m the same way. My British maternal great grandmother was one of the very warmest and loving ladies.
That trait got passed down through to my mother, though you obviously know that most people deep down are the same everywhere. Even so, true enough there can be an initial reserve in England (with foreigners, say’s the father in Love in a Cold Climate). Thank you for being so positive as you share your journey in British and America’s shared heritage.
My grandmother also had a drawer with small gifts for the grandchildren. She was bedridden in later years and we would always visit her and sit on the bed and chat, waiting for her instruction to open the drawer beside her bed and choose a gift! It was so exciting as a child.
Ah! LOVELY 😍 !!!
BEAUTIFUL!
THANKS
FROM UK 🇬🇧.
Love hearing about the history of the tiara and seeing it up close.
Tiaras and diadems have varied in how they're worn over the years. Flat atop the head, diagonally, vertically like a headband, even low across the forehead was stylish for awhile in the 1920s.
You know I watch too much Antique Roadshow when I recognized Joanna. Lol
Vicontess you do the USA proud. Thank you.
Julie.. You are lovely and authentic and such a character.. Bless you darling

AV, that is a beautiful tiara. How wonderful that you have invited us into your home to learn a bit of history about that work of art from your kind guest. Thankyou!
Really enjoying your posts. I live in Michigan but have traced my ancestry back to 1350 on the Isle of Wight.
I have a real diamond tiara that I wear when I perform on concerts, and for special occasions. I bought it from England. It is from the Georgian period, and is very similar to the one in this video, but a bit smaller. I just love it. I also have an early 1900's paste tiara as well.
What company do you recommend purchasing a tiara from?
@@Kira-ey5yt Bentley & Skinner
High end jewelry stores sometimes have them. Occasionally you can by them online at auction. I was fortunate and found mine on ebay from a jewelry store in England that carries them.
What a beautiful tiara. You looked fabulous on your wedding day.
My husband gave me a diamond engagement ring many years ago. I always felt that a Tiara as means love. I enjoy watching the American Viscountess! Lovely and positive personality!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome! I wanted to be a bit more clear . It is a diamond shaped Tiara engagement ring that my husband gave me when we were dating as teens. It was considered unusual.
Julie, as always, your show has such a lovely mix of history, human interest, and your own personal warmth. You are a real treasure, not to mention that gorgeous tiara! I was also struck by the strong family resemblance between your husband and the picture of your father-in-law as a young boy at the very end of the video.
I noticed that, too! I thought it was her husband as a child at first!
Truly love that you didn't go totally anglophile. You love, display, & celebrate your Americanness. You seem like an absolutely lovely, inspiring woman; not because you married an aristocrat & heir, but because you renovate property, self educate, stay beautifully young through heathy choices, celebrate grace, manners, and don't exploit your kids for media money. Bravo!
Everything about this is soo Beautiful. I hope my next lifetime I am blessed with such a privilege of being on a high scale of importance….
~ and just feeling and being special.
I am soo happy you have this experience and lifestyle ~ and such a Beautiful tiara…Many Blessings to you and your family ~
Absolutely Fascinating
I find it so delightful that you are so genuine, pleasant and down to earth. You have remained true to yourself and that is so commendable. I am also married to an Englishman and have remained true to myself, it is nice to meld both nationalities.
LoL , the Ninth Earl of Sandwich... love it
Loved the show Ladies of London. Wish it continued.
I’m simply enthralled by your stories. I’m so interested in the English monarchy, it’s court, and the gilded age. I feel like I’m living vicariously through you. Your videos are so so interesting. Thank you again!
My favorite court from the gilded age was the splendor of imperial Russian tsar court. I became intrigued with the imperial Russia after watching movies and series based on Anna Karerina, Onegin, love and war.

Thank you for sharing the history behind the Montagu Tiara. Would love to see you produce more shows, like this, on the history of unique pieces of British jewelry. The stories behind the heirlooms are so enriching and animate the pieces far beyond their monetary value. Also, I appreciate your authentic nature that is full of enthusiasm and curiosity! You represent America with a dignity people don't often see in Americans on social media. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!
What a gorgeous tiara! You are lucky to be able to wear it.
It really is! Thank you for your comment - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
Julie, your eyes are so beautiful. Such a beautiful bride you are.
Wow, that's a stunner, so belle epoque. This takes me back to the tiara exhibit at the V and A, twentyish years ago. On the opening night we all wore gowns and tiaras to it. At the time I had a stall at London's Greenwich Market selling hair accessories and I made custom tiara's. Geoffrey Munn has published a beautiful book on tiara's. Every girl needs at least one 😁
Fascinating, I wish you still had a stall there so I could visit! Thank you for sharing - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
@@AmericanViscountess it's great to see a fellow colonial taking over 😆. I've been here for most of my adult life now, but still have a strong LA accent. You're doing a great job ✊🌟
Beautiful wedding photos, you look gorgeous. The tiara is stunning, this video was so interesting
Super interesting!! That necklace inside was such a special surprise!!
You look so joyful in your wedding photographs. ❤
Just gorgeous……….and the hair and dress played well with…….good job
After Princess Margaret died, her children auctioned off a lot of her stuff at Christies and made a fortune. I went to the showing and you could touch and try on all the jewelry, except for her wedding tiara, which stayed in a glass case because they said it was too fragile and falling apart. I remember holding a small ruby necklace she'd worn as a child, and a choker necklace of big diamonds the size of large grapes. It was amazing. Everything went for many times the estimate.
This is amazing to read! Wow, what a memory!
Wow ! Beautiful and beautiful on the bride !
Your tiara is beautiful & mesmerising! Ooh all those diamonds 💎 studded bling bling 😄👏🏻👍🏻 u looked like a princess with it in your lovely elegant wedding dress 👍🏻😃
Lovely to hear you are from my home state. Both my husband and my family grandparents and great’s grandparents came from England.
What an exciting discovery! I hope there will be many wonderful events ahead of you during which you will be able to wear this beautiful tiara.
I accidentally found this site. I too am American. I absolutely love the way you are so down to earth. Please excuse me for saying this. I just love following you. You are so much more refreshing than Meghan. She is an embarrassment to America. You are a great representative of American and Britain. And a true beauty. Inside and out.
Thank you so much!
You can enjoy something without bashing another and you don't speak for the entire USA.
What I love about you, Julia, is how you enunciate and speak well. Americans are often portrayed as not having the language skills that Brits have. You are also full of energy and information. You never disappoint.
Wonderful video. Lovely to see descendants of my ancestors (13th GGF - Sir Edward Montagu ~ 1485 to 1557) and learn about this part of the family in modern times. My line of descent is Montagu / North / Moss / Spears / Carmichael. We immigrated to the Colonies in the mid 1600's. I hope one day to get back across the pond and visit some of my ancestral seats.
That's amazing! We look forward to welcoming you if you ever get the chance to visit Mapperton.
The Viscountess's excitement is contagious.
Catching up on this video after watching the pool video and I ended up amazed yet so entertained. Imagine how amazing to live like you, having a high tolerance in cross-culture and intend to keep learning even though you have lived there for 20 years.
Thank you for this and stay healthy for your family (:
I love your honesty and glib! "So-my children are more American?" Snap!
Louisiana Anglophile here. Loving all of the history you share with us all.
Thank you for your comment Meredith - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
Hello how are you doing 😊😊
This American is welcome xxx
She is charming, respectful and courteous unlike some 🤗
@@Camille-accessories I agree with you...and I’m American.
I've been watching your show on Smithsonian channel and absolutely love Mapperton and other castles. My entire family thinks you are a sweetheart and your family is adorable. Once this covid nonsense is over, we plan on a trip to Mapperton and a few places like Doddington and Holmsby. Keep up the good work. Vilma from Winnipeg, Canada.
Thank you so much! And please tell your family thank you too!
I’ve seen allot of tiaras but this one is the most appealing to me it’s so grand but demure at the same time, it was perfect for your wedding.
Omgoodness!!👰 What a fairy tale , a dream come true. To now own a beautiful tiara from Alberta. I 💕 this tiara and all the beautiful 🌹 and it's interesting how it evolved and became so elaborate over the years. An American tiara indeed 🏰👑 and you'll be included in the history of American women making their mark ❣️ on your family history
What a sparkler!
It’s gorgeous isn’t it? Thank you for your comment Trixie - please consider subscribing to my channel for more of my life as an American navigating the British aristocracy!
Your tiara reminds me of the Queen Mother’s Strathmore Rose Tiara . Breathtaking!
Love, love, love your channel ❤.........
Thanks so much 😊
Wonderful programme. What a lovely girl And a great asset to the Montague Dynasty
