How I Became the ROYAL FAMILY Commentator

- Here is the story of how I became a Royal commentator for a number of TV networks. It's a great example of saying 'yes' to opportunities, and it has opened up work with documentaries about past kings and queens, and other royals too.

As a fellow American/Chicagoan now living in Ireland, I just want to say that you are a great example of an American willing to go all in, make it work and thrive.
🥰🥰
Exactly. She has total respect for her English family and their history. Love Julie..
She is intelligent and a good person. Her solid family upbringing is showing.
Here this American goes and I will say it.. thank you for representing all of us Americans beautifully over in the UK !!!! You are the best !!!
Wow, thank you!
This American seconds this!
Would love a video about what it’s like for the kids to be part of this incredible British history. Also what they think about having an American mom and a British dad, and the difference that comes with how you guys were raised and the family traditions that you guys are sharing with your own family now.
I would love to see that as well!
It is an interesting conversation, expressing the various facets of Brit/ American family life. Prince Edward's wife offered fun insights: tomato, tomato.
@@ladybarbarapinsonartist431 it’s a very interesting conversation. As an American my family comes from a Scottish Aristocracy or something in that area (long ago), so I’ve always been interested in this kind of thing.
I would love to see that too!😻
Great idea!
I really admire the enthusiasm and respect you have for your husband’s (and your children’s) heritage and in British history in general. You’ve gone all in with such a strong work ethic. I think the Montagu family hit the jackpot when you joined them.
You’ve also remained very grounded with it all - we could all learn a thing or two from you Julie 😊
Thank you so much!
After the American U started your career on.... WE NEED a ....GOOD/POSITIVE... AMERICAN
INFLUENCE/REPRESENTATIVE There.
We Americans were thrown into a TERRIBLE light, & feel like we are AAALLL being WRONGLY JUDGED, by ACTIONS... Of Just a Few people! Many, Maannyy people... seemingly FORGETTING.... that "There Are CLASS.... & TRASH.... Of EVERY RACE, RELIGION, AND... COUNTRY!!!! Don't Judge ALL... by the actions of just a FEW.
You represent the people in the USA wonderfully, and we certainly need to send good vibes to the rest of the world. Thank You
Everytime , the USA " sent" good vibes to the world , it ended by death , chaos & destruction . PLease , stop sending " good " US vibes to the world . Just send ALL your WAR CRIMINALS to the ICC
You must be kidding. How dare you? You most certainly don't represent the people in the USA. dr anna
First saw you on "Ladies of London." You were/are so warm, real and lovely. I used to be very upset at how you were treated by the other "ladies." Humility and kindness won out! Congratulations on your hard won and well-earned accomplishments.
Utterly fascinating. I’m American and lived and taught in France 30 years ago. I feel your enthusiasm as an expat and thank you for your fun educational vlogs on the aristocracy through American eyes. You are so authentically curious and not announce of prétention. We sometimes get a bad rap for our often bafoonish, boisterous ways, but Julie, you make me really proud to be an American. Thank You for your tremendous contribution to foreign relations, history, and multicultural understanding!
Immigrant: Someone who moves to another country to live permanently. Expatriate: Someone who resides outside of his/ her native country, most often temporarily.
She’s not a expat, she’s an immigrant! She’s embraced the culture and history of her new home without losing touch with her own culture and heritage. Now that’s really beautiful. Here’s to the immigrants!
You are a wonderful ambassador for the American people, and a great advocate of British culture and heritage. You have bridged both worlds with elegance, grace and humility. Bravo!
Boy, do I hate babbling. And sorry, again. Not all Americans are cretins. This is really offensive to the American people.
It makes me proud and happy to watch you as an American. I love how you embrace both cultures and represent both so well. I wish M.M. would’ve taken inspiration from you. I feel like you maximize your position and you’re just a joy.
Julie, you are such a lovely person..I truly enjoy watching your TH-cam series...Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Love Julie! She makes things happen, she makes her dreams come true, she personifies perseverance, and lifts up everyone around her!
Julie, you know more of the history of England than most Brits! I love history and look forward to all of your videos! Luke and you make the best videos!
Absolutely!
Thank you so much!
It is interesting that as an American living in the UK 🇬🇧, I too knew much more of the history of architecture, battles, and personal backstories than most citizens, which included prominent members of society and the government. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that it is fascinating to us, as outsiders, that we see the patterns more easily than native born citizens. The motivation to study also comes from the fact that we chose another country, chose another way of life, thus curiosity is a prominent ingredient in our enthusiasm.
@@ladybarbarapinsonartist431 So, you know the history of this country and you are still enthusiastic. Now, either you don't really know it or there are serious intellectual?ethical? limitations or both.
Thank you for representing us (Americans and Chicagoans) so well! 🇺🇸
You would be interested in the Norwegian crownprincess Martha, that spent the war years under the protection of president Roosevelt in Washington, they were close friends. Emma award winning «documentsry» about those years. Her husband stayed in London with the goverment. Marthas husband King Olav was grandchild of the english King , his mother was the english princess Maud.
Hello from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦
The idea for your Masters degree was a good one.
Julie,I saw you handle it he situation with deftness, insight, and the integrity. How refreshing.
Congratulations Julie The Royal Jubilee the perfect person for the job you are a storehouse of history very articulate and Did I say well presented and attractive bubbly personality Thankyou for sharing my love missed the live I shall try to make the next one❤️❤️😘😘👌👌
Thank you so much!
Julie, I love all your videos! Thank you for this video on being a royal commentator. Suzy (Sugar Land, Texas)
Thank you so much!
Just sitting in the sunshine having lunch with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge greetings from San Francisco!!! Finally made a live chat
Hey I'd like to tell you that I have been offered an employment opportunity that's really great but has kind of scared me because honestly it's outside of my comfort zone.
It's something very challenging but I can do it.
Hearing your story I think has really helped me make up my mind to go for it!!
You can do it!
Hi Julie, I love your channel. You have such amazing energy & obviously a thirst for knowledge of history and a great love of all things Mapperton. You and your husband are doing such wonderful things there. Could I just pick you up on one thing, however? Diana was never Princess Diana, she was Diana, Princess of Wales. A small but important distinction.
Thank you for answering our question and for saying yes to the opportunities you were presented with. Sharing your love for British history and past royal family members.
A wonderful informative and interesting video. Thank you, Julie. Looking forward to more from you. Your knowledge and sincerity are much admired and appreciated!
You are so welcome!
How wonderful! You're a natural in front of the camera!
Julie you are such a gracious person. I feel like you are a friend just by watching you. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. You are such an inspiration. Good luck be with you always.
JULIE, THAT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL STORY!!! I LOVE IT!!! 💖💖💖
As @JanetClaire has said, as a fellow American (Mexican American from the California Desert), you are a great example of an American going all in. You make us Americans so PROUD of your accomplishments. Your authenticity is what makes you stand out and you are so very welcoming. I have added your Yoga Retreat on my Bucket List. See you sometime in the near future at Mapperton! :)
Julie you are a genuine soul and your intentions are pure!!!
Amazing story! I hosted a wedding watch party for Meghan and Harry, which was actually picked up by our local NBC affiliate. It was a full tea pajama party. We all wore fascinators and I made tea sandwiches, clotted cream, scones, etc. Very posh!
I like how you really try to understand our history and are very open to both views, as commonwealth you seem to really bring both sides clearly
Your channel is such a wonderful find! As an American (from PA), I have to say that it is delightful to have a small window into your life and see you as an “American Viscountess!”
Love your channel and have seen several of your interviews as well. Well done for grabbing the first opportunity and seeing it through! You do us Midwesterners proud. All the best from Missouri.
How fun and fascinating!! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely adore you! So happy you are representing us in the U.K. (God, they are filled with horrible biases about us)
It's 3 p.m. and 20 degrees here in Chicago. Lol
Thank you for sharing your story! Way to go, trying something new and finding a fascinating second career path! I can't wait to look for the historical shows you've done and learn more about royal history, castles and the like. My ancestors are from the Bampton-in-the-Bush, Oxfordshire area but came to American a few hundred years ago.
Hi from South Wales UK
As another American, you're fabulous
My goodness Julie, as the Police said, every little thing you do is magic! God has truly blessed you with a great gift, and what a gift you are to that family and your property too! GOOD THING YOU ARE A BALL OF ENERGY to take on all those roles (like commentator!). Amazing stuff--i bet there are days you just have to pinch yourself! 👍🇬🇧👍
🥰 thank you so much!!
I had absolutely no idea! This is amazing! Also love the highlights you had at the time! So cute!
Well done Julie! Your message speaks volumes: stay open minded to possibilities!
You do everything with such class and grace.
I have seen several of your interviews; you provided good information from a lived experience while being respectful of others viewpoints or experiences. I think Enlish history is fascinating. The more I learn the more amazed I am. The current queen is someone I deeply admire. She made a promise as a young woman and has never faltered. I can only aspire to try to be as faithful to those in my trust as she has been. I look forward to seeing your commentary during the Jubilee. I know you will bring joy and historic gems to the party!
Your videos and knowledge are a real pick me up and inspiration for me in such awful times. I hope you know how wonderfully special and important that is. It really means so much. Thankyou ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you very much for writing me this 🥰
Julie, Thank you for sharing your life with us. The more you let us know about you as a person(& show us), I can't help but think your not only a great lady(beautiful inside & out). Your also Superwoman!! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
They are lucky to have you Julie no matter the job . You have a understanding few do. You make it look easy but I know it was not . You do a great job Julie.🇺🇸
🥰
Lady Hitchingbook, don't run from books that come out. Stay the course and keep on doing a good job as wife, Mom and commentator.
I believe it’s Hinchingbrooke….✌🏼💕
which book that's coming out?
@@kymcrowart7876 you are correct.
Can’t wait….hello from Oklahoma.
Loved this. I had no idea you had that opportunity and are continuing to do it. Whooo-hooo! So proud of you. BTW-Love your blond youthful hair!
Julie, please go back to blonde, it looks fabulous on you and accentuates your beautiful blue eyes!
You’re the best legacy of that wedding 👏
You're amazing Julie! I married a Canadian and I'm just next door to the U.S. and I still have difficulty with homesickness! I'm sure you've had bouts of it, too! You're doing a terrific job!
Wonderful!
For those of us who only know you recently from this channel , would you please show more of a compilation of your various network appearances during that amazing time in your life .
Julie, found your You Tube channels in the last few months. So fun! Love your honesty and obvious joy in where you are in life.
OK, I'm so glad to know she's official, but also that it's an AGA, not an augur. This is what I'm doing on my holiday, living vicariously by watching Julie's videos, LOL.
I saw you on a documentary on youtube the other day and did a double take because I recognized you. What a wonderful opportunity you got.
Good advice or reminder to take advantage of opportunities when they come your way. Your energy and enthusiasm is enjoyable to listen to your experiences as an American Viscountess.
I’m so happy to see how far you’ve become now Miss Julie lol. I mean even back from the days of Ladies of London, which btw, I always took your side hehe. But yeah, so happy to see you succeeding and living, in life! If only Messy Meghan had your tenacity and keenness in fitting in and taking on all our Britishness , good and bad lol but at least you’ve put all in and made it work and you’re thriving too!! Im so here for you and wish you all the best 😘! 💕💕
You’re such a humble, hard-working and positive influencer to everyone watching. So wise in your choice and not allowing greed take over as much as ego and disrespectfulness as what we are witnessing today..
I was literally just googling this the other day. I watched a documentary where you were commenting and I was like, "I didn't know she also was a Royal Commentator." Ha Ha, thanks for the info.
You are so good at commentating, a natural and very charming x
julie you are truly an inspiration .i need to get my lazy butt in to gear come ouy of retirement and back to work.
I think we could argue that you've become trained to become a commentator. You're doing it right now.
You are a natural - so personable - so entertaining. Also love your interaction with Luke.
Greetings, or family I learning so much from you. We have a high school senior at your high school, and a cheerleader, hope to carry out your great example!
Thoroughly enjoy your series and the "situations" you are brave enough to involve yourself in!!...still laughing re you and that pool!!...thank you so much for sharing!!
I love your message, it’s never too late!
That's an amazing story, great for you. Thank you for sharing and educating us all on your channel. I love antiquing and have the Queens inauguration program. It's so interesting and can't wait for you to share more. Like minded people will always find a way to learn. You are very upbeat and fun to watch, that makes you the perfect person to be in front of a camera.
Do you mean Coronation programme? US Presidents have inaugurations, British Kings and Queens have Coronations.
Aussie here. That's where I know your face from... The wedding!
I'll be seeing you for the jubilee down here too I'm sure.
Yes! Diana is where I saw you!! Thank you. I was wondering. Wonderful job!! ☀️
Yes! Thank you!
Hello from Michigan in the U.S. I recently found your TH-cam videos. You do a fantastic job! Thank you so much.
I just discovered your channel today. It is quite delightful.
Just wonderful! How is your mom doing from Michigan? I know she is excited about your progress. Keep up the good work.
YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME, JULIE. I LOST MY HEALTHCARE CAREER NOV. 15TH DUE TO ILLEGAL MANDATES, IN CANADA! WE CANADIANS EXPECT TO CHANGE THAT WITH OUR CONVOY TO FREEDOM 2022! IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO SPARKED ME! LIGHT OVER DARKNESS, LOVE OVER FEAR! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! THANK-YOU. 💖💖💖
You've led an interesting life, Miss Julie. It makes my head spin. I just finished reading Super Foods, Super Fast and can't wait to try some of your ideas. Thank you for Recharge as well. Thank you for rekindling my interest in my British heritage, too. Have a lovely day. God bless.
Wonderful!
Congratulations on your success I've seen a few documentaries where I've gone oh Julie's on this as well! Always interesting and entertaining.
Am glad to have found your channel and that you said yes to bbc. My 1st watch was the pool. More power to you! ♥️ Frm philippines
Thanks for watching!
TH-cam is showing me some videos related to Ladies of London. You were great in them. It was probably helpful in making you more comfortable with cameras. Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm. It’s catching. 🙏🏻
Wow! You’ve been a busy lady. I didn’t know about your royal commentator job. I’ve probably seen you in passing on tv during the “run up” to Harry and Megan’s wedding. Your persona is highly adaptable from commentator to Viscountess and I’ll just bet I’m not the only one that is just figured this out. You’ve got a lot of “clubs in your bag” and I’m only aware of three of them! If you ever cover the Earl of sandwich on You tube I’m in😉
Manhattan here! Guess I'll just have Martinis until you broadcast!
I have just discovered your channel. I am going to binge watch your videos now. They are fascinating!
Do enjoy all the information about English history. In my ancestry search I do have English heritage .
In Canada, 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 i saw that BBC interview . I'd never seen or heard of you before that. However, since that, I watched an episode of Mapperton because i recognised you from the interview and that's how I ended up subscribing to that series and this one. I must say I don't regret it at all because you are straightforward, personable, fun and kind Thanks, Julie, Vicountess Hinchingbrooke. You're right it is a mouthful, 😄😄 but you wear it with your own inimicable style. 😊🍾🥂
Thank you so much! xx julie
I think you are so relatable and offer a fresh perspective. Good for BBC for being the first to see that. (I love British history too!)
Fascinating story. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your world, history (I love), incredible home, cheerful stories, and build a new world without drama or sense of entitlement we see so much of these days. Brilliant!
This is the best blog you’ve done. It was great to see you so passionate and relaxed. Well done! I live in Houston TX now but grew up in Park Forest/Steiger, IL. ❤️
🙏🏻🥰
Wow very impressed Julie and very lucky 🍀 too. I would lose my mind living history like you do, I love history lol. ❤️🇺🇸
You have one hell of a résumé :-) sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida
Thank you! You too!
How fantastic that your one interview grew and grew into a new career..

Your background in communications is huge. I didn’t know that about you. Amazing.
Go girl, so happy to hear this story!
Can’t wait to see more Royal Commentaries!
I just love you and your videos. Weren't you on The Real Housewives Of London? I am an American Royalist, and to have you commentating is so exciting for me. Sometimes the unexpected opportunities are our biggest blessings.
It was called Ladies of London.I still have not seen it.Don't know if or how to find the episodes in the US.
@@deborahgodley6980 Yes! Thank you!!!
I joke that my next career will be as a journalist for the royal rota. :P Thanks for sharing your story. I'm excited to see what you are doing for the jubilee. Perhaps a Mapperton Platinum Pudding entry?
I’ve always wanted a video of this!!!
