[@Saraseeksthompson0211]

So glad you’re making videos for this channel again!

[@ThoseTwoBritsUK]

@@Saraseeksthompson0211 Thanks Melody! So are we, we love it so much!

[@johnsymonstcu]

Thanks for such a fascinating and educational tour. What a beautiful palace. I can't imagine what the outcome of WW2 would have been for the U.K. without Winston Churchill as the Prime Minister. R.i.P. Sir Winston. ❤🙏🇬🇧

[@gentlespiritjw4904]

Cheers to my friend in Virginia! I hope you are well. Jean 🙏💕😊

[@johnsymonstcu]

@@gentlespiritjw4904 Hi Jean! Hope you are staying cool during your heat wave and having a nice summer. Take care. ❤ John

[@ashp5597]

“Who would think that beautiful baby will turn into that “ LOL😂😂😂

[@ThoseTwoBritsUK]

hahah poor Winston!

[@marlamarla5558]

Winston was 1/2 American on his mother's side (born in New York) giving Winston US citizenship, hence the US passport 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

[@Parker-930]

I wonder why they didn’t learn that well known fact on the tour they took. Interesting.

[@KatieScoot11]

‘Ello Lord Joel & Lady Lia! What a wonderful tour to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed that! Can you even imagine what it was like to live in such a posh lifestyle, dining at those long tables with all of the fancy place settings and service? So amazing to see how others lived back then. And I guess how a few people still live now. You two are Royal in my eyes 🤗 Only you two would find an American doing tours at an English palace! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks for the fun video! Love watching your travels and all of your fun banter and tangents! #longlivetheromper

[@422katieleigh]

I’ve heard so many Americans say they’re leaving the country because of how crazy things have gotten, but nobody ever does-props to Kimberly for actually following through.

[@jwb52z9]

I knew there had to be someone who would actually do it other than a couple of celebrities. I know I would if I could do it and survive long enough to get British citizenship, but that would take a proverbial medical and financial miracle. I doubt they'd let a disabled person in without being rich.

[@susiefisch]

However, at this point, people living in the UK are going to begin feeling the pinch of BREXIT. It may get more expensive to live there.

[@422katieleigh]

I mean I came in here to give props to Kimberly and was speaking from my own personal experience as an American who hears that from Americans, and then y’all had to go an make it weird.

[@kamiliabee9715]

I absolutely love this place and need to go back! When I went a couple of years ago, a lot of the furnishings and furniture were pushed aside or moved as there was a movie being filmed inside. I'm so glad you came there so I am able to see what it would have typically looked like. Really enjoyable and such a beautiful place.

[@Brooksie603]

Can you imagine how long a guided tour would be if you were allowed all over the palace and not just that sectioned-off bit? It would take all day because it's massive. The artwork on the ceiling looked incredible. I'm sure it looks even better in person. I love old architecture with all the details in them. They don't build things like that anymore. Like the old stone churches with all the stained glass. I love those. It would cost a fortune to build anything like that now. It seems they use such cheap materials now and get things built faster without any thought of detail and design. The woodwork on older homes is more intricate. Now it's just plain wood slapped on the top and bottom of a wall.

[@janmcguire5268]

Oh, thanks for the tour! Blenheim Palace was the first place I visited on my trip to England and Scotland years ago. I was so jet-lagged, I struggle to remember Blenheim, but your tour brought it all back! I’m from the states, and I’d love to return for another visit someday.

[@stephaniel3032]

So glad you’re able to get back to visiting places! 👍👍

[@LoveLeighLife4All]

Wow the Library is GORGEOUS!!

[@stephaniel3032]

Just amazing. That people live in castle in 2021 is just amazing to me. I love it. Slightly jealous over here in the USA.

[@margaretr4869]

This was great. I am so glad you are able to be back to this channel.

[@sacfoxnanny5572]

Thank you for this opportunity to see just a glimpse of the beauty in your country. I will never be able to come there myself and it was really amazing to see that castle.

[@donniebrooks21]

Loved it so much. It was so interesting and glad to have this channel back to posting showing us great UK places

[@ThoseTwoBritsUK]

Thanks Donnie, that means a lot!!

[@TheItalianDramaKing]

Joel! You broke my heart when you said "No" to the green sofa!!!! Ugh I was like it's so gorgeous!!! We're not allowed to disagree on things like this lol XD

[@jerriannmcentire8235]

This sort of reminds me of Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina. You two should visit there between thanksgiving and Christmas because it’s absolutely beautiful.

[@sacfoxnanny5572]

That's true you should.

[@lynetteballinger9787]

I remember touring Bleinham back in 1989. It was nice to see again. Thanks!

[@grayadam]

Love the videos where these two are out and about. Great channel.

[@kimberlygirvan3737]

So much fun! I so enjoyed you both!!!

[@beac2025]

The statue in the library is Queen Anne not Queen Victoria. Queen Anne rewarded the first Duke of Marlborough with the palace.

[@elaineturcotte1043]

That was really interesting! Thank you for taking us on a tour of Blenheim Palace. I had never heard of it before, but after watching The Crown, and historical WWll shows, of course, Winston Churchill and others from that era are quite well known. You two gave an amazing overview. Thank you for panning the camera slowly and showing some of the signage. I stopped the video numerous times to look at that remarkable painting on the ceiling in more detail and to read some of the signs. 🌟

[@ibosquez5238]

The lady in the beginning got to work there apparently by using her wits and had a bit of good fortune. That's amazing. Edit: I wish I could do that.

[@jilljackson3995]

Indeed!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

Loved this. Makes me want to go back to England sooner than later.

[@ryanblack2986]

Agree with u there Lynn

[@beverlydust5381]

It's amazing how people live in such large houses and have such beautiful art and china ,like the shop and palace.Enjoyed the tour of such a historical house.

[@michaelmullard4292]

Just spectacular! Joel and Lia would look lovely in their dressing gowns around that table!

[@mandystory4275]

Thank you for sharing the beauty of Blenheim Palace Joel and Lia.😍

[@dorothypaul4642]

Joel must have been in heaven in that gorgeous library!

[@PWallace1227]

I'm so happy Those Two Brits is back! I love seeing your country.

[@alwinthomas8918]

So lucky to live there

[@todd755]

Winston's mother was an American, a beautiful notorious one. That's probably one reason he could get a passport plus his aid of our mutual cause in WWII

[@debbycassidy5993]

A beautiful place!

[@tejida815]

I’m so happy you’re out and about again. I loved that view from the library.

[@gentlespiritjw4904]

I absolutely LOVED every minute of this and didn't want it to end! Like you, Joel, I was loving all the antique books. 👍 Thank you for making this for us. Tons of love from Jean ❤❤

[@MrGlenspace]

Churchill’s mother was from Brooklyn NY. He even has American descendants.

[@VerbaleMondo]

What? Really? 🤩

[@margomyers2640]

So glad you got to meet my niece Kimberly!

[@hellerjerry]

you made it a great tour for those of us that will never be able to travel to the palace...........if it were not for Winston you might be doing the vlog in German today

[@partlycloudyhi78]

That was fun. Thanks for the tour.

[@MsTrain69]

Interesting tour, you guys. I’ve always found Winston Churchill to be a fascinating character. Can’t wait for the next place! 🏰 🗺

[@ThoseTwoBritsUK]

Same, he's such an interesting man!

[@sockies1]

Thanks for the trip through the palace. I got to go a few years ago... It's cool to walk through it again... Virtually. 😉

[@faithhudson4576]

The only thing that I was thinking when you said a family still lives there with kids is "imagine bring classmates or friends to your home" and it is this massive castle!!!! I am American so we don't have castles like this unless you are in Hollywood!!! But this just shows you the HISTORY of England!!

[@chrissyfoley7361]

So glad you're back! I love this page.

[@kimm3473]

I just love these videos! Best of the Brits!

[@ThoseTwoBritsUK]

Glad you like them!

[@dorismedvetz5796]

Lovely tour,thank you

[@jfs59nj]

Thank you for a magnificent tour!!! Now you must visit the Churchill War Rooms in London if you haven’t!!!

[@Sarah22410]

Such an interesting and informative video

[@wildflowers5555]

Please! Also take us to Winston Churchill's Chartwell Estate! Here in America we LOVE and HONOR Winston Churchill still!

[@stephanied.k.3589]

Thanks for the QR scan shortcut. Scsnned it directly from your vlog😆 Taking the audio tour now.

[@ruthvarley4284]

Thanks for sharing. I thought the info about Churchills romper was pretty cool. Lovely place. How lucky was he to be born there. I’d love to see it someday.

[@twiggledowntown3564]

Great tour!

[@2210courtney]

Really enjoyed that, one of the few palaces I haven’t been too

[@elbow7991]

This was so good! Very cool

[@debschmitt761]

Very nice, really enjoyed this , great job., looking forward to the outside tour

[@meredithtoth2831]

You two are just lovely. Love your enthusiasm. You make me want to move to London now.

[@allanpeterson3358]

Love ❤❤😊😊you guys! I enjoy your videos!

[@irishinusa1615]

Thanks 😊 👍

[@michelletoth5963]

I think The Royals was filmed there. A series with Elizabeth Hurley. Was that shown on UK tv?

[@LurkerSmurf]

Lol at admiring the encyclopedias. Even 30 years ago, that was how we looked up stuff. At one point, I had an encyclopedia on CD-ROM, and that was so amazing because I could look up stuff without going to a library.

[@marshafranklin]

loved it

[@misterbeard2881]

Haha....who would have thought he would turn into THAT over there. I am dying.🤭

[@marcusfox597]

Random comment but if youve heard of the show "Safe" by Harlan Coben on Netflix, Joel looks EXACTLY like the main character (except the main character is a bit older)

[@turtlescanfly7]

I need to know more about the tour guide and exactly how she got her residency. She’s out here living my dream

[@marutakelers1856]

I'd love to dust all those books, but I'd end up stopping to read them lol

[@KawaTony1964]

The 1st thing I learned is that I've been mispronouncing "Blenheim". "Blenheim" is also the name of a British WW2 bomber that I know about, and I, being American, have always called it a "BLEN-hyme". Now I know it's actually a "BLEN-um".

[@gaelliott61]

Was there any mention of the Spencer-Churchills as in Lady Diana Spencer, his relation?

[@dorothypaul4642]

As for the American passport, Winston was half American by his mother. Not only that, but his mother's maternal grandmother was half Iroquois. So he also had native American blood. How cool is that?!

[@sircarl56]

Pretty wild that a family still lives there. I always have to wonder how many of us peasants it took to pay for a place like this.

[@chrismomo8315]

❤

[@paulaleonard357]

Go to cornwall

[@emiriebois2428]

She seems to know more about Wallis Simpsons than the king himself ! I dare to pretend to be a proud Brits!

[@jwb52z9]

If you think telling people from 300 years ago that their books would become redundant is weird, you should try telling people who are still alive from before the internet existed the same thing. :) When I was a kid, the internet was literally a new thing. Most adults had no idea about it and thought it was going to be a fad at the time in the late 80s and early 90s. Back then, you had to be a higher income person/family in the US to have a connection at all in most cases. Speaking of sofas, did you two see the whole debacle about Ikea's Pride Month flag inspired sofas?

[@bcgreen7479]

You should have asked her if this older than the Alamo?

[@jilljackson3995]

It's hilariious how little these Brits know of English History.

[@marysmyczynski3425]
