As a ex posh school student, I can tell you with certainty that what families are paying for are in fact, connections. The pool of acquaintances you end up associating with, including their families, are entrepreneurs, business owners, property owners, people who understand money, policy makers on and on. Having those connections as a resource is incredibly confidence building. I have often seen the difference between folks with and without an affluent early education, as being related to confidence rather than intelligence.
@@nayanmipun6784 wow, arrogant much? I may not have much money, but i have something much more important: Friendship. As my sight fades, i have friends and neighbors willing to help me with anything. All the money in the world doesn’t get that.
I second that observation!! I think they "don't care" what "regular" people think of them, but they are obsessed, like the entire point of their existence is to impress others whom they deem on par with or above them. It is all one big circus and they will never stop preforming for those they look up to (and those they desperately want to be)
I think it’s more a difference between the “new money” and the “old”. New money tends to but the obvious designer labels, flashy lifestyles that scream “look at me, I’m rich!”, while old money tends to be more discreet because they don’t care about the attention as much. I think there can be a lot of competitiveness between the rich though, so they do care what their peers think!
There is a difference in not caring about other’s thoughts relative to judgement. Like who cares if they don’t like my car or clothing versus a focus on people skills and intentional networking. I think those not from those social circles may fail to have the skillset to see the differences between those concepts. I would say more often rich people (especially old rich ie the people that aren’t newly wealthy) just don’t care as much about insignificant judgment type things …on the flip I think networking is obsessively taught from a young age.
I think what she misunderstood as not caring about what others think is that if you are part of the upper class you can experiment and make mistakes because you have a matierial and social wealth that allows you to not pay a big price for them. While when you are part of the middle class or the working class, one mistake can ruin your life because you don't have that wealth you can fall back on. So the upper class can take more risk and they have more opportunities but it doesn't mean they don't care what others think of them.
The biggest thing I’ve noticed about the people I’ve met and know who have had a private education is in general how confident they are and how sure of themselves in public. They do have an enviable confidence.
Its not always superiority. Don't project, if you feel inferior to someone that's your problem. Sometimes its really just confidence and surety of themselves. I've come across far too many sweet, kind wealth people with private education.@@Downstream33
The purpose of civilization is to advance itself not being 'really living and loving'. At least I would die prosperous than live as a liability And yes while my private school does offer me more facilities than a public school could offer. Ardingly college isn't that prestigious as Eton is (I'm a British citizen with Indian ethnicity)
@@PRATEETSANTRA But what does advancement mean? Sheer material prosperity? To what end, and why? After we've gained our riches, where do we put it? Towards the gaining of even more? I think equally naive is any teleological proposition of a civilization's purpose.
@@PRATEETSANTRA the purpose for humanity is to advance the human experience. 'really living and loving' is the focus of why we want to be alive and it would be nice if we got to share our advancement to not just only to a select few but to the whole human race. if you believe that efficienty and accumulating resources is the only valid purpose for civilization, then go and make space for artificial intelligence as they are going to make you redundant in that regard.
@yakoozey2271 If you need to criticise me at least pick up a dictionary and read some words, their meaning,spelling and pronunciation It's efficiency not 'effecienty' Otherwise in doing so you come off as one of those poor people who think that money solves every problem and deplore people just because they live a comfortable life Go to a good university Get some good grades Improve your speaking and writing skills Then think of criticizing others Or else you sound like a plebeian
This is both totally enthralling and interesting and also incredibly sad.. it's amazing how there will always be those who get the absolute best. I hope they don't take it for granted
@@kiranpatel6521 you can fight for a better financial standing, but you can’t fight your way into a higher class sadly. It’s wrong, but it is how it is. Money doesn’t buy that. If you don’t have the “breeding” and class to go with it, you will remain an outsider, and be looked down upon. For instance the American woman in this episode will never truly be accepted in the society.
This comment reminds me of the documentary "Up" series. The 7-year-old upper class children in the first segment, "7 Up', were agonizingly serious - chatting on pretentiously about how they read The Times, etc. It wasn't hilarious so much as painful. It's worth seeing the whole series.
It’s strange how these people glamourize binge drinking. In some countries this is really seen as lowerclass behavior and in many countries it gives British tourists a REALLY BAD reputation.
I live in Budapest, brits come here a lot for partying. They way they behave is just astonishing. Not even homeless folks use the streets as a loo. Brits do:)
@@krisztinakessel6869 Hi I'm so sad this happens, please believe we are not that way in Britain, and different generations of our country, those here and those that have passed are, and would be appalled by such behaviour.

While vacationing in Cuba, there was a large British delegation. Hmmm... this Hotel had a dance club for teens. My daughter partied w them! She told me girls as young as 13 were getting sloshed and stripping as they danced! The parents were getting drunk too!
It’s funny you say that. A few days ago a group of British teens were on a train and were also drunk and loud. I’m American and they were coming from New York and I was shocked how wild they were acting.
While the school system in Nigeria when I was growing up is obviously quite different from what exist in England it is based on the English model. When I went to boarding school I had a classmate who was very organized and independent for a 10yr old in form 1. Apparently she'd been in boarding school since age 4. I'm so glad my stepmother was not aware of this option.
If they’re not in a boarding school, they’re with a nanny or a governess in relative isolation… maybe would be better? Obviously parent to child is the natural and ideal but…
It's great to hear that you found the part about Nanny Smith to be human and genuine. Documentaries often strive to capture different perspectives and experiences, and it's common for personal stories to resonate with viewers on a deeper level.
Absolutely. :) (Signed, a Canadian who grew up under the poverty line for many years but focused on reading and self development to be able to get ahead.) What I love about true class is that anyone can develop a high class way of being with others. Compassion, loyalty, gentleness, open mindedness, having a non-judgmental attitude, and wanting to eradicate elitism. Wanting everyone to become their highest self. Those are what I consider classy traits. :)
I think the most exciting part is exposing the same silly rules that they think set them apart. People are people and as much as they would like to pretend, no one is above anyone else.
Nonsense, people are not equal, people grade themselves by their behaviour so you must observe and use your discernment, if you do not use your mental powers of discrimination then you will have poor judgement about whom you associate with. It is always necessary to filter your human environment and disassociate yourself from those who don't match up to your standards.
@@dreamdiction You should judge someone based on their character, not what nonsense, niche social customs they have used to gatekeep their culture of nepotism.
How terribly crass and vulgar to hold a party for children and then publish a picture of a private moment to exploit them. Tacky and crude...and this is desirable and the parents let them go to see their children published in a magazine to be viewed as 'people with profile'. Could that be any more awful?
@L A Ballard Yes. What underclasses ? They celebrate all the wrong people in their crass society. It's the people that manipulate and exploit others that are the sick ones in society. They get the privilege of becoming the ruling classes and foolishly trifling with the struggling classes. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. The love of money, is the root of all evil...
Right off the bat, the lady talking about making people feel valued - great lesson for the youngsters. I was hoping, despite not being a part of the upper class, to hear something like this. Am pleased.
And then in the next scene, she turns around and announces that she "values" them for their wealth and the slice of it she can capture for her magazine, her "brand." So sincere.
all that really matters is being happy, I feel I've straddled both worlds at times as due to work seemed to be around a lot of very wealthy people and then get invited to events or work at events. I remember doing one 40th birthday once and Lionel Ritchie sang for them all, they had sushi on people's bodies lying down, champagne on tap.. honestly most people looked bored, a lot went home at like 10/11 pm, it was us guys who were sort of working who got on stage with Lionel and probably enjoyed it more. Staying in posh hotels is amazing though but probably only because i'ts a contrast if it was every single time that would just become the standard and people would find things to moan about at those too. If anyone wants it badly enough they can just invest in crypto currency, work really hard and on top of that go to elocution lessons lol
I find the comments very insightful. I attended a British Public School. I left after 5 years feeling inferior and broken. It is a cruel system for those who do not achieve and it is not surprising that an elitist magazine like the Tatler associates itself with such a system. However, for those who cope it can be a ticket to success and I do not blame Tatler for reflecting this.
I imagine the people who don't like these sorts of schools are actually better people...perhaps more fair, more compassionate, less elitist, and generally more moral. That tends to lead to people who often have more anxiety, too. The fact that you were in that school system but see it as elitist and cruel says a lot of positive things about your character. A lot of people who come from privilege act like they are better than others and you seem much more down to earth and genuine when you could have been pompous. But you are not and that's awesome. I suspect you are a person who thinks for himself and does not let the crowd influence his decisions. Take care. ♡
Ross Metcalfe - Sorry to hear that and I am sure you are not the only one with such an awful experience. And yet, as we heard early in the episode these schools are meant to breed people with the best manners in a way that everyone is “heard and valued!” Easy to say, hard to do.
@@solobano570 These schools will "breed" people with excellent manners and will offer their students the connections they need to get access to the world´s top leading positions. It´s all about status, class and achieving financial success in life, being superior. Behind the superficial excellent perfect manners of public school boys and girls are very cold competitive non-empathetic people. They only care about themselves. Their "excellent manners" are just a facade................ When you take children away from their parents at such a young age they will never get the love and care they need to develop into happy loving emotionally stable adults.The boarding school system is cruel. Just watch the Tatler employees in this video. They all seem very cold, arrogant, uptight, acting posh and superior all the time - lifeless, soulless, people. I have neither seen a genuine smile nor true happiness, there seems to be no zest for life........Or do you think these people seem happy?
I felt the same when I left my private school. I was deeply unhappy. It was the most toxic environment and was such a bubble from the real world. I felt it didn’t prepare me at all for real life beyond school.
Putting Lorde’s The Love Club in by the end is so ironic. The song about getting into the ‘it’ club then realizing how damaging it is and missing the people who raised you…

I went to one of these kinds of schools and it was one of the worst things I've ever experienced. Racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia and the rest were all common even among teachers. I left as soon as I could and chose a university which was completely different to those my friends and classmates attended.
The pressure to look 'good' and tons of insecurities is up the roof. The bullying in this kind of elite schools is another level. Mind you, these kids are the ones who would get away with anything thanks to mummy and daddy's money, power and connections.
Prep school is essential as it's where the networking all begins , especially for boys . The friends made in youth will be future peers in politics , buissness , and society . It's simply the way its done in the upper classes .
agreed. i wasn't allowed to socialize in my youth, and now as adults am not invited to parties because i didn't share the same memories with people in my circle
@@msairs Yeah. I thought I had a best friend, for 35 years, but she believed others were because it began in preschool. I was honestly too scared of her in preschool; we met in kindergarten officially.
@Ксенія♡укр They are private events. This also makes sure they don't get taken advantage of for their money. It's not like the poor are denied an education or a job.
yep when I went to university I was shocked that so many had friends from prep schools that they stuck with. even if I attempted to be friends, they seemed to prefer their more upper class friends - I guess because they are useful. I even had a boyfriend whose parents hated me just because I wasn't cut from the same cloth.
I'm in Canada and I won't lie I grew up dirt poor. like back to school shopping at the thrift store.... But I've managed to keep chips off the shoulders about others. The tea time photos they did around the 18min mark is so cute I love it! great idea for their magazine. Alot of the kids being excited and feeling special is very cute. I mean I really feel like if you didn't grow up with these guys and on this level you won't fully "get it" and honestly it's fine. it's the same in the reverse. They'll never be able to fully understand the underclass.

That's great to hear that you've been able to maintain a positive and open-minded attitude despite your own experiences. It's important not to let our own backgrounds or circumstances shape negative perspectives or resentment towards others.
My fathers family are from the south, and my moms from the north. One grandma was horrid, nose in air and clearly despised the other. She very much believed she was superior, even as we kids we felt it. What a silly woman and how unloved she was. Now our northern gran she was fun, very down to earth and very loved by us. How ridiculous it all is.
It is important to recognize that wealth does not automatically make someone a better person or deserving of special treatment. One's value as a human being should not be rooted solely in their financial status or material possessions. True worth is determined by an individual's character, actions, and contributions to society.
Lol and as a Southerner, all along I thought you were talking about your Northern gran the whole time at first…… but maybe that’s just been my personal experience of nose-in-the-air entitled snobbery, but then again I’m American so maybe it’s different countries opposite problems? 🤣 💕🤷🏻♀️
@@lovelyjanuary nope Americans in the south are also very elitist just by race rather than class. But they can be wealth elitist too, don’t be fooled by that charming little “mud on my boots” act they put on
I am Australian i was a nanny for the upper class in 90 s and went to hotels and gyms lady diana went too. We are all people searching for the same things except they do it alot nicer than the poor. We all want love, food and shelter just be happy you are alive
The problem is that rich children can grow up with the idea that they are the most important person. If you are sent to boarding school, you are surrounded by other upper-class boys or girls and hopefully learn some humility and the responsibility to go with your privileges. To some extent, this works. For example, students from these schools often become officers in the Army. In America, I am not sure how many wealthy people have that same sense of service.
A fair question. There is a tricky balance between toughness and softness. Perhaps the best approach for people in this position would be to educate their children at home in the early years and send them off to boarding school as teenagers. I wouldn't say I liked the idea of a boarding school for 3-13-year-olds!
If it helps to explain, I was adopted in my teen years. I went to boarding school because I was too high of an achiever for a regular public school. I met people whose parents were VPs of major banks, and were able to donate millions of dollars a year to the school. One of the reasons non-rich people send their kids to the schools is the social mobility it provides. Regardless of what boarding school you go to, just being able to tell other elite people that you went to boarding school opens doors for you.
A lot of poor people have to leave their children in the villages when they go to work in the city or immigrate to wealthier countries to work. Only middle class people seems to have time for parent child bonding.
@@ianmangham4570 Like bruh, they can barely act like the rest of us, woman at 12:04 talking about how 'rebellious' the girls in her school were, with "short shirts" 👀so big and bad
The Tatler Guide to boarding schools sounds a lot like the U.S. college ranking list in the U.S. News and World Report. They use about the same standards....who you know, rather than how well you educate people.
When she said "it's not just about a level results", my mouth dropped and it felt disheartening for all those state schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods who have been so successful academically.
I had a friend who came from an upper-class family, and let me tell you, their family dynamic was nothing short of a roller coaster ride. You would think that with all that money, they would have it all figured out, right? Wrong! They still had their fair share of family drama. I mean, who knew that even in the lap of luxury, you still have to deal with annoying siblings, overbearing parents, and awkward family reunions?
"If you get them young..." How absolutely creepy. You don't care about their future, you only care about the atmosphere you're creating, and it's self serving.
So funny. I love the psychology on it. Its like a kind of cult really, desperately trying to be accepted and uniqueness is wrong! I spent 6 hours in four seasons Paris just people watching. So entertaining but very glad im not one of them.
These comments are so funny because this is exactly how working class people act as well, and they're in the comments trying to separate themselves from the rich because they're ❤more compassionate❤ bc of their inferiority complexes when the only difference between the two is the money.
I hope all of these rich kids are taught the importance of gratitude and to have the right attitude. Being ultra rich is NOT easy. (I do not speak from personal experience)
In the end, money can't totally define who we are. No matter where we come from, we all face our own challenges and find happiness in the simple things. So let's raise a toast to all the middle-class folks out there - the kings and queens of making every penny count and finding joy in non-luxurious ways!
I think Tattler should have put the nanny on its cover wearing haute couture, don’t you? Perfect way to celebrate changing attitudes about the importance of help.
Then there's the issue of entitlement. I'll never forget when I accompanied my friend to their family vacation home. It was like stepping into a whole different reality. They had a staff of people whose sole purpose was to cater to their every whim. I remember thinking, "Do these people even know how to tie their shoelaces?" It's fascinating yet mind-boggling at the same time.
I find this episode interesting but at the same time I find it sad. I don't think I could ever work for a magazine like Tatler, it would nearly feel immoral to me no matter how much they pay you. I'm watching feeling very grateful I never ever grew up like this. One of my friends did grow up this way and ended up turning down Oxford as she said she didn't want to be around posh people. In saying that I do work in central London in a company with many staff members from Public/Grammar school. They are quite nice but many of them lack substance and social skills. Anyway at the end of the day we are all blobs of cells. Maybe they really enjoy their upper class lives, but glad I don't live that life.
They are very classist. I always like the UK and its history but the class system is really something. They hate the middletons for example because kate married william despite her coal miner ancestry. They brand her and her sisters as social climber because they married millionaires.
@@KODoch48 I really just mean none of us are really important than the other, we are all really equal made up of cells. But human beings will always create classes etc.
It's all so terribly wrong. But if you listen carefully, even they don't care about their readership. They, just like the worst tabloid, reinforce their readers' pre-existing prejudices so the money continues to roll in.
So, let's raise a glass to being average, to having a good laugh at the quirks of the upper class, and most importantly, to never losing sight of what really matters - genuine connections, shared laughter, and the joy of finding an extra dollar in our pockets!
The toilet training nanny needs to be done for abuse, who does what she did to the kids to see if they were " holding on " what she did was violating them in the name of toilet training
14:46 unbelievable that she describes a bit of mess as the "real world" at a school where you spend almost £20,000 a year to attend. it makes me a bit sick, and explains a lot why the upper class have no idea what normal people struggle with - its even worse when most of the people who run our country have that same perspective.
By highlighting individual stories, documentaries can provide a more nuanced understanding of a particular topic or social group. These personal narratives can help humanize people and provide insight into their lives and experiences.
Honestly, can a bi-monthly magazine really be a source of socialisation on the par with public schooling, being raised by upperclass parents, or attending high-society social events? I think not. That's as silly as saying you can be a real wizard just by reading JK Rowling's Potter books!
These are valuable high politically profiled people. They have to set themselves apart from the masses as a form of protectionism. It's all they have ever known. They keep their kids seperate too because someone could kidnap them for ransom. Hopefully the children know the feeling of being loved outside of material items and status.
You make a valid point. While reading a magazine can provide access to glimpses of the lives of the wealthy and provide some insights, it is not a direct substitute for the actual experiences of being raised in a certain social class or attending high-society events.
Thank you Our Stories for sharing these documentaries on British schools and education. You're doing a great service. It's also important for the study of geography, history, sociology, etc.
The tea time photos you mentioned sound lovely and it's nice to appreciate the creativity and efforts put into creating such moments for the kids. Special experiences like these can bring joy and a sense of inclusion to children who may not always have access to such luxuries. Everyone deserves to feel special and valued, regardless of their background.
I m French and was attending private Catholic school where social dancing, golf, theater, you name activities, were part of the curriculum. Sure it was not a boarding school but yearly fees school versus state ones. The difference from UK is correctly mentioned, France boarding schools are meant to be for kids with behaviour issues or learning struggles. We prefer to go for private Catholic school like few in Paris, Versailles, Bordeaux, Toulouse,... Which are well ranked if you want to attend top "preparation" schools or best uni curriculums
Wow aren't you so lucky to have such privileged life's... Golf at school I was lucky to play softball girl seriously .... So privileged and rich 💸💸💸 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@crooney4809 is all that fluff necessary though? The education part is actually the key reason children go to school, it may be helpful to some children having the social aspect in school, but all in all nobody is going to ask in an interview later on if you played golf in school, my children attend a fabulous country school in Ireland, l see them as privileged at that, the rest is a distraction. Also if a child isn't all that academically bright it doesn't matter where you send them, they won't do well in any educational system. What some children lack academically they make up for in their street wisdom, you don't often see both together. Great bank accounts, that's the privilege.
And let's not forget about the extravagant parties they throw! I once attended a high society gala, and it was like stepping into a whole new world. The decorations were so fancy, I felt like I was in a museum. They had these golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling - it was like they were trying to outshine the stars themselves! Meanwhile, back in my world, we hang a string of fairy lights during the holidays and call it a day.
having dealt with extremely wealthy people at various times in my life first of all they are some of the most miserable people you'll ever meet or deal with but on top of that they have no clue how bizarre they appear to the rest of the human race. and yeah the worship of wealth i can understand because wealth represents resources at the tribal level but the worship of people who have it simply because they have it will probably puzzle me til' the day i die. and btw, the 80's were the tackiest most ridiculously tasteless decade of all time why that or any other magazine would feel any nostalgia for it is really weird.
I agree about the eighties. I was having five (out of six ) of my babies in a Sufi Muslim community and actually quite grateful to have missed that shallow time.
I am not from this social circle but I was brought up on these standards, always be polite, do not raise your voice to be heard, do not shout, don't asume, don't complain, don't talk about what things cost, have impecable table manners be well groomed and dressed appropiately for an event or weather and above all smile when you enter a room. None of these things cost money and they will set you apart from the masses. I lived with aristocrats when I moved to London, my best friend met at university is from this class and I had no problem fitting in or being accepted and I didn't pretend I hadn't grown up in a council house and gone to state schools. My mother had worked for what is referred to as 'toffs' and she was very appreciated by them and always told me how to tell the aristocrats from the rich. The aristocrats adresse everyone equally and the rich only adresse the rich. As soon as I hear people talking about money I switch off. Later I sent my daughter to a private boarding school in Paris but she was warned before of what to look out for and her stay there was important in giving her the confidence she needed and being able to compare herself.
@@Sldindpunjab except the original post was not about experiences, it was about this person thinking they’re superior to others because they imitate rich people. Not sure why you “loved” a comment that was just a snob bragging, but you do you sweetie.
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 I agree. I appreciated what she said about manners and grooming but rolled my eyes when she started bragging about hanging around with aristocrats. If they truly did accept her, I hope they taught her more than how to distinguish the rich from the wealthy. I can't imagine how this little nugget of 'knowledge' is supposed to improve one's life.
I actually enjoyed this. I love the thought process the magazine uses to stay relevant. Always tell me friends, this is life the super rich are here to stay just see how you can milk some of those excess millions out of them. Would definitely want to buy me a Tatler now. This is brilliant
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the documentary and found the thought process of the magazine interesting. It's understandable that different aspects of media or storytelling can appeal to different individuals.
This is so interesting! I love the beautiful settings, decor, clothes etc but I’m glad I’m just an average person. It seems vapid and ultimately unsatisfying. I wonder if the parents ever feel that they are sacrificing their children to a system or selling their child into a type of slavery. It’s not my lifestyle so I don’t know maybe they never question their freedom but as an outsider it seems to be a gilded cage
Certainly, being born into an upper-class family or having material wealth is not necessarily a guaranteed dream come true. While it may come with certain privileges and opportunities, it doesn't automatically equate to happiness or fulfillment.
This is interesting. I have lived my whole life in the U.S. I am of a modest upbringing, but I was raised by a very proper mother and learned manners and etiquette. I raised my sons this way also. It’s so much needed here in the States and is sadly lacking.
I went to two prep schools--a boarding school in Wiltshire and a day school in Oxfordshire--and what doesn't really come across in this otherwise illuminating film is how such institutions don't exactly inhibit eccentricity; if anything, they quietly encourage it. Having said all that, the sooner private schools are abolished the sooner Britain will become an actual meritocracy.
That is what I said! One school takes kids ages THREE to thirteen! Who would send their 3 year old toddler AWAY to school! That is a total abdication of parental duties! And it must be terrifying and horrific for such a young child. ☹️

I moved from Ireland to the US, Ireland has some similar aspects but perhaps some different rules. I did miss the social life greatly when I came over here. America is so tame. Everyone is in bed by 10. No events every weekend, going to London shopping during the holidays and meeting up with family. I first came over at 20 and Everyone my age seemed so immature. But the notion of caring how you appear to the greater society was drilled in and hard to dismiss. So these people saying they don't care how they appear is nonsense.
@@Skadi609 And yet I've spent the past 20 years in the US bored, so I suppose in my personal opinion, due to my own feelings, which I'm entitled to without being told I should feel differently, are correct.
This video unveils the curtain into the things people want, need... popularity, acceptance, and status... all of which is unearned... all given based upon class hierarchy, wealth, and cadre. But with that all said... it's all good and that's part of life.

@@felixkendall-muniesa8971 Something like 60-70% of the families in this area have pedophilia and trafficking a regular occurrence within Masonic lodges. Scotland Yard is very bad for this. Parents who are part of wealthy cults who essentially traffic their children at a young age while their children live at home. Check out Jon Wedger on youtube, the Police Officer who lost his job and almost lost his life when he realized the true extent of this issue. It can become quite the traumatic rabbit hole of research and survivor stories. You will discover that Freemasonry, SRA, and pedophilia all go hand in hand and the wealthiest families commonly objectify and traffic their own small children. It is unsurprising to see Tatler's attitudes toward children's sexuality and the children's disassociation from many of their parents. But bloodlines are important when it comes to this so I wonder how the influx of Russians will affect the practice.
A lot of narcassists and sociopathic social climbers in this documentary (the jewelry editor for example who talked down to everyone and was snottily condescending) But a lot of them are very charming... until you do something "wrong" then their mask comes flying off or they drop you like a hot potato like that poor freelancer.
I was a DJ to the wealthy, they have a lot of friends from school, and their friends for life. A lot of good times going on trips, riding horses at school etc.
Yikes! The fact that this still goes on is kind of sad. Rich teenagers are still the same as any teenagers, to quote the young kiss and teller, “ I got lucky at the last one”.
But hey, let's not judge those folks too harshly. In the end, they're just regular people with a little more money and a lot more pomp and circumstance. And as for us average folks, well, we may not have a trust fund waiting for us, but we have something even more valuable - the ability to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
And don't even get me started on the pressure that comes with being part of an upper-class family. They have these expectations that you have to be successful and achieve great things. It's like, "Hey, I didn't choose to be born into this family! Can't I just be an average Joe like the rest of society?"
I thought that was a bit pretentious; it’s funny, so laugh! But, her behavior is typical for someone adopted recently into the upper class. So, she doesn’t want to look “vulgar.” The old aristocracy loves this kind of silly eccentricities and don’t mind laughing their heads off. In fact, the newcomers of those high circles are so nervous and oppressive that they actually give bad name to the rest of aristocracy.
My heart sinks a little when I stop to think about what this means. Of course, who wouldn´t give their children the best opportunities in the world if their economy permitted it.
Hi Kerry, first I want to say, I have such respect for teachers,. Paul McCartney of the famous Beatles and his late wife Linda, sent their children to their local comprehensive school, and they certainly show to of turned out fine. Wishing you a blessed season
Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Ghandi, Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Noam Chomsky, Rosa Parkes, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Malala Yousafsai. Mother Theresa of Calcutta. None of them attended Eton. They all did ok.
U choose ur economy. So u choose the opportunities u can offer to ur children and that should be well thought out and set out before you have children. There’s no need for your heart to sink about that.
I would never send my children away.. My children meant too much to me and I wanted my hand in how they were raised to adulthood.. They are now adults and raising their children to be successful young adults
The little girl with the freckles on her nose and those stunning wide set doe eyes is such a beauty! That was a great photo, I see why they featured her.
That lady is taking advantage of these rich peoples money and their lifestyle and I find it so odd and genius! When she said British people love animals and then went on to say that its because rich British didn’t get enough love from their parents or something like that like whaaat 🤣 go ahead girl!
Material wealth and social status may provide certain advantages and privileges, such as access to better education or resources, but they don't guarantee happiness or inner satisfaction. Many people from all walks of life, including those from lower-income backgrounds, have achieved great success and fulfillment through their own hard work, resilience, and determination.
As someone who's attended private and prep schools for my entire primary education, i can tell you it's more about the networking. All my friends are either from wealthy businesses or have entered the most prestigious law school, engineering schools, med-schools. I'm starting med-school next month and i already have so many seniors across the nation, in the top schools. You can just start listing the opportunities waiting for us. Moreover, it's about the mindset. We all share the same mindset, same goals, same passion for life. Everything becomes more enjoyable with the right people.
You know, I'm only 15 minutes in and I'm wondering what the Dowager Countess would have thought of these specimens. At the beginning we hear about manners and how to treat others, swiftly moving onto confessions of "love bites" at the Hurlingham Club.
And then there's the issue of entitlement. I once knew a guy from an upper-class family who thought the world revolved around him. He believed that simply because of his last name, he was entitled to success, admiration, and probably a golden crown too. But guess what? Life doesn't work like that! In the real world, you've got to earn your place, work hard, and stay humble along the way. No amount of money can buy you true respect and admiration from others.
Interesting comment about my middle class people being more concerned about fitting in, that's what life is like in general, fitting in....working, middle or upper class, everyone just wants to fit in, it is how we're all conditioned and raised and if anyone needs to fit in the most it would be the upper classes, in no other situation would you be outcast of your "tribe" if you were to marry someone outside of your class and where behaving in a certain way that wasn't in tune with what everyone else is doing.
I do not know why this makes me so sad... not necessarily because I am not rich, but there is another kind of richness in life that I do not see here...
The nouveau riche & aspiring middle classes are the target of all marketing, as no self-respecting rich feels the need to follow any trends beyond proper manners & etiquette. The truly wealthy set trends, which if profitable for corporation are ceased upon & extensively publicized!
You mean only Aspiring upper middle class to go means. The middle-middle and lower middle class can’t reach that status easily. But what you said is true both upper middle and Lower upper class (New money /nouveau Riche) tends to be insecure about their station and aspire to be more than just what they money, education, social and cultural capital. They want a pedigree and legacy and only old money has that which starts as the gentry upper class and above.
As a ex posh school student, I can tell you with certainty that what families are paying for are in fact, connections. The pool of acquaintances you end up associating with, including their families, are entrepreneurs, business owners, property owners, people who understand money, policy makers on and on. Having those connections as a resource is incredibly confidence building.
I have often seen the difference between folks with and without an affluent early education, as being related to confidence rather than intelligence.

I think it’s interesting that she said people in the upper class don’t care what others think of them. They seem to care far more than anyone else.
I second that observation!! I think they "don't care" what "regular" people think of them, but they are obsessed, like the entire point of their existence is to impress others whom they deem on par with or above them. It is all one big circus and they will never stop preforming for those they look up to (and those they desperately want to be)
They don't care what the peasants think of them. LOL
I think it’s more a difference between the “new money” and the “old”. New money tends to but the obvious designer labels, flashy lifestyles that scream “look at me, I’m rich!”, while old money tends to be more discreet because they don’t care about the attention as much. I think there can be a lot of competitiveness between the rich though, so they do care what their peers think!
There is a difference in not caring about other’s thoughts relative to judgement. Like who cares if they don’t like my car or clothing versus a focus on people skills and intentional networking. I think those not from those social circles may fail to have the skillset to see the differences between those concepts. I would say more often rich people (especially old rich ie the people that aren’t newly wealthy) just don’t care as much about insignificant judgment type things …on the flip I think networking is obsessively taught from a young age.
I think what she misunderstood as not caring about what others think is that if you are part of the upper class you can experiment and make mistakes because you have a matierial and social wealth that allows you to not pay a big price for them. While when you are part of the middle class or the working class, one mistake can ruin your life because you don't have that wealth you can fall back on. So the upper class can take more risk and they have more opportunities but it doesn't mean they don't care what others think of them.
The biggest thing I’ve noticed about the people I’ve met and know who have had a private education is in general how confident they are and how sure of themselves in public. They do have an enviable confidence.

While vacationing in Cuba, there was a large British delegation. Hmmm... this Hotel had a dance club for teens. My daughter partied w them! She told me girls as young as 13 were getting sloshed and stripping as they danced!
The parents were getting drunk too!
British partiers in the US are usually considered trashy the way they do it and how hard they go at it. There is no chill.
It’s funny you say that. A few days ago a group of British teens were on a train and were also drunk and loud. I’m American and they were coming from New York and I was shocked how wild they were acting.

To me, boarding school for anyone younger than thirteen (13) is crazy.
While the school system in Nigeria when I was growing up is obviously quite different from what exist in England it is based on the English model.

How terribly crass and vulgar to hold a party for children and then publish a picture of a private moment to exploit them.

all that really matters is being happy, I feel I've straddled both worlds at times as due to work seemed to be around a lot of very wealthy people and then get invited to events or work at events. I remember doing one 40th birthday once and Lionel Ritchie sang for them all, they had sushi on people's bodies lying down, champagne on tap.. honestly most people looked bored, a lot went home at like 10/11 pm, it was us guys who were sort of working who got on stage with Lionel and probably enjoyed it more. Staying in posh hotels is amazing though but probably only because i'ts a contrast if it was every single time that would just become the standard and people would find things to moan about at those too. If anyone wants it badly enough they can just invest in crypto currency, work really hard and on top of that go to elocution lessons lol
I love nanny smith. She is so thoughtful and just pure giving for the family she worked for. She is so lovely.
Slave. Would you give yourself like she did?
I find the comments very insightful. I attended a British Public School. I left after 5 years feeling inferior and broken. It is a cruel system for those who do not achieve and it is not surprising that an elitist magazine like the Tatler associates itself with such a system. However, for those who cope it can be a ticket to success and I do not blame Tatler for reflecting this.
Ross, It seems that's exactly what the goal is, to make others feel less than.
I imagine the people who don't like these sorts of schools are actually better people...perhaps more fair, more compassionate, less elitist, and generally more moral. That tends to lead to people who often have more anxiety, too.
The fact that you were in that school system but see it as elitist and cruel says a lot of positive things about your character. A lot of people who come from privilege act like they are better than others and you seem much more down to earth and genuine when you could have been pompous. But you are not and that's awesome. I suspect you are a person who thinks for himself and does not let the crowd influence his decisions. Take care. ♡
Ross Metcalfe - Sorry to hear that and I am sure you are not the only one with such an awful experience. And yet, as we heard early in the episode these schools are meant to breed people with the best manners in a way that everyone is “heard and valued!” Easy to say, hard to do.
@@solobano570
These schools will "breed" people with excellent manners and will offer their students the connections they need to get access to the world´s top leading positions. It´s all about status, class and achieving financial success in life, being superior.
Behind the superficial excellent perfect manners of public school boys and girls are very cold competitive non-empathetic people. They only care about themselves. Their "excellent manners" are just a facade................
When you take children away from their parents at such a young age they will never get the love and care they need to develop into happy loving emotionally stable adults.The boarding school system is cruel.
Just watch the Tatler employees in this video. They all seem very cold, arrogant, uptight, acting posh and superior all the time - lifeless, soulless, people.
I have neither seen a genuine smile nor true happiness, there seems to be no zest for life........Or do you think these people seem happy?
I felt the same when I left my private school. I was deeply unhappy. It was the most toxic environment and was such a bubble from the real world. I felt it didn’t prepare me at all for real life beyond school.

I went to one of these kinds of schools and it was one of the worst things I've ever experienced. Racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia and the rest were all common even among teachers.

The pressure to look 'good' and tons of insecurities is up the roof. The bullying in this kind of elite schools is another level. Mind you, these kids are the ones who would get away with anything thanks to mummy and daddy's money, power and connections.
Prep school is essential as it's where the networking all begins , especially for boys . The friends made in youth will be future peers in politics , buissness , and society . It's simply the way its done in the upper classes .

It is important to recognize that wealth does not automatically make someone a better person or deserving of special treatment.

As a mom who values the child parental bind, I just cannot understand sending children off to be raised by others.
The problem is that rich children can grow up with the idea that they are the most important person. If you are sent to boarding school, you are surrounded by other upper-class boys or girls and hopefully learn some humility and the responsibility to go with your privileges. To some extent, this works. For example, students from these schools often become officers in the Army. In America, I am not sure how many wealthy people have that same sense of service.
@@sanjivjhangiani3243 but what about the critical bonding that helps to form a healthier EQ?
A fair question. There is a tricky balance between toughness and softness. Perhaps the best approach for people in this position would be to educate their children at home in the early years and send them off to boarding school as teenagers. I wouldn't say I liked the idea of a boarding school for 3-13-year-olds!
If it helps to explain, I was adopted in my teen years. I went to boarding school because I was too high of an achiever for a regular public school. I met people whose parents were VPs of major banks, and were able to donate millions of dollars a year to the school. One of the reasons non-rich people send their kids to the schools is the social mobility it provides. Regardless of what boarding school you go to, just being able to tell other elite people that you went to boarding school opens doors for you.
A lot of poor people have to leave their children in the villages when they go to work in the city or immigrate to wealthier countries to work. Only middle class people seems to have time for parent child bonding.

Impressed that Tatler staff put such sincere and creative efforts into their magazine.
The Tatler Guide to boarding schools sounds a lot like the U.S. college ranking list in the U.S. News and World Report. They use about the same standards....who you know, rather than how well you educate people.
When she said "it's not just about a level results", my mouth dropped and it felt disheartening for all those state schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods who have been so successful academically.
Who you know means more than what you can do.
I had a friend who came from an upper-class family, and let me tell you, their family dynamic was nothing short of a roller coaster ride. You would think that with all that money, they would have it all figured out, right? Wrong! They still had their fair share of family drama. I mean, who knew that even in the lap of luxury, you still have to deal with annoying siblings, overbearing parents, and awkward family reunions?
"If you get them young..." How absolutely creepy. You don't care about their future, you only care about the atmosphere you're creating, and it's self serving.

In the end, money can't totally define who we are. No matter where we come from, we all face our own challenges and find happiness in the simple things. So let's raise a toast to all the middle-class folks out there - the kings and queens of making every penny count and finding joy in non-luxurious ways!
I think Tattler should have put the nanny on its cover wearing haute couture, don’t you? Perfect way to celebrate changing attitudes about the importance of help.
or homeless ppl mae them feel important
Then there's the issue of entitlement. I'll never forget when I accompanied my friend to their family vacation home. It was like stepping into a whole different reality. They had a staff of people whose sole purpose was to cater to their every whim. I remember thinking, "Do these people even know how to tie their shoelaces?" It's fascinating yet mind-boggling at the same time.
I find this episode interesting but at the same time I find it sad. I don't think I could ever work for a magazine like Tatler, it would nearly feel immoral to me no matter how much they pay you. I'm watching feeling very grateful I never ever grew up like this. One of my friends did grow up this way and ended up turning down Oxford as she said she didn't want to be around posh people. In saying that I do work in central London in a company with many staff members from Public/Grammar school. They are quite nice but many of them lack substance and social skills. Anyway at the end of the day we are all blobs of cells. Maybe they really enjoy their upper class lives, but glad I don't live that life.
They are very classist. I always like the UK and its history but the class system is really something. They hate the middletons for example because kate married william despite her coal miner ancestry. They brand her and her sisters as social climber because they married millionaires.
At the end of the day, if all you value yourself (and others) as “a blob of cells,” well then … that’s the problem - sad!
@@jalynjohnson
Who doesn´t
I’m also feeling grateful for not being an upper class blob of cells
@@KODoch48 I really just mean none of us are really important than the other, we are all really equal made up of cells. But human beings will always create classes etc.
It's all so terribly wrong. But if you listen carefully, even they don't care about their readership. They, just like the worst tabloid, reinforce their readers' pre-existing prejudices so the money continues to roll in.
Very true, it's an opportunity for exploitation which they exploit.
I think they *are* a tabloid.
So, let's raise a glass to being average, to having a good laugh at the quirks of the upper class, and most importantly, to never losing sight of what really matters - genuine connections, shared laughter, and the joy of finding an extra dollar in our pockets!
The toilet training nanny needs to be done for abuse, who does what she did to the kids to see if they were " holding on " what she did was violating them in the name of toilet training
I was thinking the exact same thing...... Child abuse
I agree, honestly 🤮
Exactly
Yeah that was kind of shocking
I think I'll spend about 1/10th the amount of these people in my life and be just as happy
I honestly don't think these people are truly happy...
Some are happy some not, many many plain old people are unhappy, so middle class and poverty don't buy happiness
Happiness is intrinsic. You can be happy with 1/10th of their money. You can also be happy with 1000x their money.
Only people happy in this are those have faith in almighty Allah, after that everyone is living dead.(Al Quran)

14:46 unbelievable that she describes a bit of mess as the "real world" at a school where you spend almost £20,000 a year to attend. it makes me a bit sick, and explains a lot why the upper class have no idea what normal people struggle with - its even worse when most of the people who run our country have that same perspective.
yes out of touch and look down on british public. they all need ousted from our government they have n clue what hardship is to run our country
Why does everyone need to know about your stuggles? Isn't that self centred?
@@Egyptianfaithno, if these are future rulers, ignorance is inexcusable. wouldn't want an ignoramus making laws on my behalf
Maybe it's her way of trying to find some middle ground between their means and the real world. That's the initial feeling I got.
By highlighting individual stories, documentaries can provide a more nuanced understanding of a particular topic or social group. These personal narratives can help humanize people and provide insight into their lives and experiences.
Honestly, can a bi-monthly magazine really be a source of socialisation on the par with public schooling, being raised by upperclass parents, or attending high-society social events? I think not. That's as silly as saying you can be a real wizard just by reading JK Rowling's Potter books!
These are valuable high politically profiled people. They have to set themselves apart from the masses as a form of protectionism. It's all they have ever known. They keep their kids seperate too because someone could kidnap them for ransom. Hopefully the children know the feeling of being loved outside of material items and status.
Upper class don’t raise their kids, nannies and boarding school matrons do
You make a valid point. While reading a magazine can provide access to glimpses of the lives of the wealthy and provide some insights, it is not a direct substitute for the actual experiences of being raised in a certain social class or attending high-society events.
Gosh.................I almost arrived in heaven when they covered the 80's. Such joy!
As classy as every single person in this Doc thinks they are, they’re actually the complete opposite trying desperately to climb the social ladder
I actually think that they are not desperate at all. This is their culture.
Not much higher up the ladder to climb
I pity them, but I wouldn't mind a couple million. Too much money creates the lack of wanting. How boring is that existence?!
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know and they understand that
Half of them have really common accents. Just an observation.
Thank you Our Stories for sharing these documentaries on British schools and education. You're doing a great service. It's also important for the study of geography, history, sociology, etc.
Agreed!!!
The tea time photos you mentioned sound lovely and it's nice to appreciate the creativity and efforts put into creating such moments for the kids. Special experiences like these can bring joy and a sense of inclusion to children who may not always have access to such luxuries. Everyone deserves to feel special and valued, regardless of their background.
I really enjoyed watching this! You know, seeing how the other half lives. Fascinating.
This is extremely sad 😢! These poor children can't even be themselves smh. Parents vicariously trying to live your life inside your kids.
I m French and was attending private Catholic school where social dancing, golf, theater, you name activities, were part of the curriculum. Sure it was not a boarding school but yearly fees school versus state ones.
The difference from UK is correctly mentioned, France boarding schools are meant to be for kids with behaviour issues or learning struggles. We prefer to go for private Catholic school like few in Paris, Versailles, Bordeaux, Toulouse,... Which are well ranked if you want to attend top "preparation" schools or best uni curriculums
Wow aren't you so lucky to have such privileged life's... Golf at school I was lucky to play softball girl seriously .... So privileged and rich 💸💸💸 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Wow,sounds awesome.
@@crooney4809 is all that fluff necessary though? The education part is actually the key reason children go to school, it may be helpful to some children having the social aspect in school, but all in all nobody is going to ask in an interview later on if you played golf in school, my children attend a fabulous country school in Ireland, l see them as privileged at that, the rest is a distraction. Also if a child isn't all that academically bright it doesn't matter where you send them, they won't do well in any educational system. What some children lack academically they make up for in their street wisdom, you don't often see both together.
Great bank accounts, that's the privilege.
No one cares about French schools. This documentary is about England.
And let's not forget about the extravagant parties they throw! I once attended a high society gala, and it was like stepping into a whole new world. The decorations were so fancy, I felt like I was in a museum. They had these golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling - it was like they were trying to outshine the stars themselves! Meanwhile, back in my world, we hang a string of fairy lights during the holidays and call it a day.
having dealt with extremely wealthy people at various times in my life first of all they are some of the most miserable people you'll ever meet or deal with but on top of that they have no clue how bizarre they appear to the rest of the human race.
and yeah the worship of wealth i can understand because wealth represents resources at the tribal level but the worship of people who have it simply because they have it will probably puzzle me til' the day i die.
and btw, the 80's were the tackiest most ridiculously tasteless decade of all time why that or any other magazine would feel any nostalgia for it is really weird.
I agree about the eighties. I was having five (out of six ) of my babies in a Sufi Muslim community and actually quite grateful to have missed that shallow time.
hear hear
Bitter.
@@BlackCoffeeee ummmm…. You mean the coffee? ☕️
@@lesleyhogg2495 Right?
I am not from this social circle but I was brought up on these standards, always be polite, do not raise your voice to be heard, do not shout, don't asume, don't complain, don't talk about what things cost, have impecable table manners be well groomed and dressed appropiately for an event or weather and above all smile when you enter a room. None of these things cost money and they will set you apart from the masses. I lived with aristocrats when I moved to London, my best friend met at university is from this class and I had no problem fitting in or being accepted and I didn't pretend I hadn't grown up in a council house and gone to state schools. My mother had worked for what is referred to as 'toffs' and she was very appreciated by them and always told me how to tell the aristocrats from the rich. The aristocrats adresse everyone equally and the rich only adresse the rich. As soon as I hear people talking about money I switch off. Later I sent my daughter to a private boarding school in Paris but she was warned before of what to look out for and her stay there was important in giving her the confidence she needed and being able to compare herself.
I love your comment, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have all the entitlement and none of the money? Bummer
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 money is not the only way to be rich. Experience makes you rich too.
@@Sldindpunjab except the original post was not about experiences, it was about this person thinking they’re superior to others because they imitate rich people. Not sure why you “loved” a comment that was just a snob bragging, but you do you sweetie.
@@Kirsten_is_cursed10 I agree. I appreciated what she said about manners and grooming but rolled my eyes when she started bragging about hanging around with aristocrats. If they truly did accept her, I hope they taught her more than how to distinguish the rich from the wealthy. I can't imagine how this little nugget of 'knowledge' is supposed to improve one's life.
I actually enjoyed this. I love the thought process the magazine uses to stay relevant. Always tell me friends, this is life the super rich are here to stay just see how you can milk some of those excess millions out of them. Would definitely want to buy me a Tatler now. This is brilliant
And all these posh private school girls working at Tatler didn't find rich husbands to support them.
How you get the Magazine?
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the documentary and found the thought process of the magazine interesting. It's understandable that different aspects of media or storytelling can appeal to different individuals.
This was very insightful. It’s very cool actually in my opinion. Everyone was very honest about the do’s and don’t, the likes and dislikes.
its basically a giant Argos catalogue of noncery for the elites
Love the gentleman who said New Money is better than No Money!
This is so interesting! I love the beautiful settings, decor, clothes etc but I’m glad I’m just an average person. It seems vapid and ultimately unsatisfying. I wonder if the parents ever feel that they are sacrificing their children to a system or selling their child into a type of slavery. It’s not my lifestyle so I don’t know maybe they never question their freedom but as an outsider it seems to be a gilded cage
You nailed it!
Certainly, being born into an upper-class family or having material wealth is not necessarily a guaranteed dream come true. While it may come with certain privileges and opportunities, it doesn't automatically equate to happiness or fulfillment.
This is interesting. I have lived my whole life in the U.S. I am of a modest upbringing, but I was raised by a very proper mother and learned manners and etiquette. I raised my sons this way also. It’s so much needed here in the States and is sadly lacking.
I went to two prep schools--a boarding school in Wiltshire and a day school in Oxfordshire--and what doesn't really come across in this otherwise illuminating film is how such institutions don't exactly inhibit eccentricity; if anything, they quietly encourage it. Having said all that, the sooner private schools are abolished the sooner Britain will become an actual meritocracy.
Sending children under the age of 10 to boarding school should be classed as child abuse!
Just a different world than USA

I moved from Ireland to the US, Ireland has some similar aspects but perhaps some different rules. I did miss the social life greatly when I came over here. America is so tame. Everyone is in bed by 10. No events every weekend, going to London shopping during the holidays and meeting up with family. I first came over at 20 and Everyone my age seemed so immature. But the notion of caring how you appear to the greater society was drilled in and hard to dismiss. So these people saying they don't care how they appear is nonsense.
Not everyone goes to bed at 10 in the US. Not sure how generalizing 330 million people makes any sense.

The 80s were a great time for me. We socialized more before social media and cell phones.
I miss it. I think it's such a shame that the younger generations don't get to experience life before smart phones and social media.
note the 80s didn’t have a pandemic social distancing everyone and tbh everyone was over sexualized in kind of a weird way
35:26 That is abuse to the little boy, and not something to laugh at.
for real tho, some pedo behaviour
Absolutely disgusting and traumatic to a toddler
@@felixkendall-muniesa8971 Something like 60-70% of the families in this area have pedophilia and trafficking a regular occurrence within Masonic lodges. Scotland Yard is very bad for this. Parents who are part of wealthy cults who essentially traffic their children at a young age while their children live at home. Check out Jon Wedger on youtube, the Police Officer who lost his job and almost lost his life when he realized the true extent of this issue. It can become quite the traumatic rabbit hole of research and survivor stories. You will discover that Freemasonry, SRA, and pedophilia all go hand in hand and the wealthiest families commonly objectify and traffic their own small children. It is unsurprising to see Tatler's attitudes toward children's sexuality and the children's disassociation from many of their parents. But bloodlines are important when it comes to this so I wonder how the influx of Russians will affect the practice.

And don't even get me started on the pressure that comes with being part of an upper-class family. They have these expectations that you have to be successful and achieve great things. It's like, "Hey, I didn't choose to be born into this family! Can't I just be an average Joe like the rest of society?"

Loved the moment where the interviewer didn't smile at the singing deer . Well done girl.
I thought that was a bit pretentious; it’s funny, so laugh! But, her behavior is typical for someone adopted recently into the upper class. So, she doesn’t want to look “vulgar.” The old aristocracy loves this kind of silly eccentricities and don’t mind laughing their heads off. In fact, the newcomers of those high circles are so nervous and oppressive that they actually give bad name to the rest of aristocracy.
That was so awkward. So out of touch with reality to seriously believe your stuffed deer, lion and polar bear are impressive or quirky.
lol that part actually made me laugh. She was unimpressed by the lack of class in it
On a par with the"talking trout" that we working classes have on our woodchip walls 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐟🐟

Interesting comment about my middle class people being more concerned about fitting in, that's what life is like in general, fitting in....working, middle or upper class, everyone just wants to fit in, it is how we're all conditioned and raised and if anyone needs to fit in the most it would be the upper classes, in no other situation would you be outcast of your "tribe" if you were to marry someone outside of your class and where behaving in a certain way that wasn't in tune with what everyone else is doing.
I do not know why this makes me so sad... not necessarily because I am not rich, but there is another kind of richness in life that I do not see here...

The nouveau riche & aspiring middle classes are the target of all marketing, as no self-respecting rich feels the need to follow any trends beyond proper manners & etiquette. The truly wealthy set trends, which if profitable for corporation are ceased upon & extensively publicized!
I agree, they should market to the middle class more. Keep the content the same but reach out to that market.
You mean only Aspiring upper middle class to go means. The middle-middle and lower middle class can’t reach that status easily. But what you said is true both upper middle and Lower upper class (New money /nouveau Riche) tends to be insecure about their station and aspire to be more than just what they money, education, social and cultural capital. They want a pedigree and legacy and only old money has that which starts as the gentry upper class and above.
