5 Difficult Questions for my American Viscountess

[@bridgetackley2164]

We have heard a lot from Julie what it's like to marry into the British aristocracy. I'd love to flip the coin and I'd love Julie to ask Luke what is it like to marry an American. That would be my first question My second question would be what did he feel was the biggest culture shock when he came across the pond to meet Julie's parents or to learn about Julie's life or has he ever learned about Julie's life in America let's see that takes up question two and three. I'm sure I could think of something else but I think that would cover it and I'm sure you could break that down into five different questions.

[@ladysparkymartin]

I was going to ask the same! It would so fun to see how Luke handled the Midwest 😅

[@longwaytotipperary]

Yes!

[@jodystepnowski695]

Oh, these are great ideas!

[@sarabuckingham3910]

Love the idea. Yes please!

[@indiaandrews6996]

@@ladysparkymartin Yes 🙌!

[@celtjade]

To Luke, Julie is relaxed, funny, sweet, dignified, and welcoming. Not to mention she has the determination to revive a family estate as well as raise a family and be a wife. Luke, you chose well.

[@cattuslavandula]

These two seem like they have a lot of fun together. It's great to see.

[@gabyv8]

I do love how Julie sounds and is very American still, after 20 years of living in the UK. Love you Julie ❣️

[@GrizzlyAir]

Julie calling the family bonkers is why they get along, because she is also completely bonkers, but that’s what works. Luke and Julie and Nestor and the Earl and Countess. Just wonderful!

[@lisabroucekmattson1039]

Hi there from Chicagoland!! Luke has often wondered why the channel had so many views but not nearly as much ‘likes’ or subscribers - well here is one reason: I watch KZbin on my 55 inch screen tv (so much better seeing such fabulous sites on a big screen). Watching on tv you cannot hit the like button. I have to go back to my computer, IPad or IPhone and hit the like button and as a human I forget sometimes!! Then I go back and practically hit days and weeks of ‘likes’ for the channels I subscribe to. It probably screws up your algorithm but I think - better late than never!!!!!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋how are you doing?

[@rebekahlow8375]

I agree with Julie.Pajamas at breakfast is the correct way to eat breakfast! Luke asked terrific questions! I really enjoyed the video!! Love from Vermont

[@Silvina46]

I'm Luke's team 😉 Pajamas in the bedroom only

[@longwaytotipperary]

Love pj's at breakfast!!

[@lizbignell7813]

Wearing pyjamas to breakfast in your own home is one thing but when you are a guest in someone’s house, that would be really bad manners!

[@KarenSmith958]

Nooooo ... Shower and get to the breakfast table clean and fresh for everyone's sake!

[@ntakovacj3644]

I'm American. i don't want to have breakfast with people in their pajamas. Too intimate for me. Let's come down ready to start the day.

[@mamangere6932]

You two are so hilarious. Thank you for that 15 minutes long laugh!

[@createinspain]

The reason your channels are successful, is I believe down to charisma. Buckets of it. Poor Julie, not being able to go down to breakfast in her PJs!

[@TWROC96]

I guess sweatpants and a ratty t-shirt won't work either- lol.

[@cockneydoll]

That is something we never do

[@MichelleVelas-e9i]

❤ God Bless you and your family , I really enjoy listening ❤️

[@preservid]

Hello My name is Julie And I am from Michigan. I love that you have kept your American self!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@angelamoreno5914]

Oh my goodness I loved this!! YESSS do a series on this please! An insight of the both of you on each others cultures, families etc. Because of the dynamics of your relationship on here, it's so interesting (hilarious tbh in a nice way) to watch the back and forth, over talking way of communicating. It's a joy to watch both of you.

[@blairwarren5418]

You guys are to funny!!! Love the banter. Congratulations 100K!!!!

[@theresavanluik4199]

I am enjoying this series so much. Questions: What do you do for fun? Are you related? I thought if you were royals you had to marry distant cousins? Are any of your children interested in the restoration of your homestead? Taking over when you pass it on? You both work really well together. So nice see. 😊

[@teresaproano7984]

Nice interview. I’ve enjoyed the two of you talking and being very respectful to each other. I appreciate you two . Brilliant!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@martinacatinelli]

Love it. After 26 years of living in the UK I still sometimes, secretly, wonder "How come I didn't get married into nobility here, why, why, why". Now that Julie mentioned not being able to have breakfast in your pyjamas sums it up! Snap! I would have started a riot. Saying this, love you guys. Much love.

[@SStroud2024]

Yay! Luke's KZbin channel has now surpassed 100K subscribers! I hope you get your Silver honorary plaque next month for this achievement. Love the KZbin channels you two created!

You two are fun !!! Thanks for the entertainment.

[@carolheyen7249]

During the latest video, watching Luke’s dad and his sister walk through their old home/castle, I was blown away by how much Luke looks like his dad! I guess I had never realized it before. Are they alike in personality too? And yes, I would also love to hear about Luke’s reactions to your hometown in America! Love your channels!

[@susandahlem8585]

You two are really adorable! I am up far too late watching your lovely videos. Cheers from NZ

[@athinaforouli]

The first video of July I saw was , when she was showing the house in Italy. I thought it was an American woman in Italy! Then I noticed the title " viscountess" and that challenged my curiosity to find out more about her! Afterwards I was amazed by her personality and finally the whole family looked fascinating to me. Now I follow both of you constantly

[@wendyannh]

That’s how Julie and then her whole family came to my attention as well.

[@galebush1004]

Looks like u like spending time with each other. Congratulations.

[@elizabethprince6301]

Hello from Victoria, B.C Canada. Love both your channels. Discovered Julie’s tour of Floors Castle on TV. Had done a tour three in 1977 and met that duke she interviewed . I was not impressed with him when we accidentally wandered into his private garden. He was so young. Very brisk in his request to exit. Loved your tour.

[@bethanybathory4933]

Congratulations Luke on 102k! I can't wait to see your plaque. I love both of your channels. Your relationship is absolutely adorable and I love seeing Julie stumbling upon all of these fantastic old things (like a 300 year old chair in storage) and Luke just like "oh yes, that's a chair." It's a 300 year old chair! My country isn't even that old. Hello, and much love from Arizona!

[@mimiNana-yi4cy]

I am american, from New England, and we pronounce it the way Luke does, "en root". I guess it is dependent on where you live in America. You two are the greatest couple.

[@wendyannh]

We say it that way here in Pittsburgh, too. Or at least the people I know and grew up with do. Many of us also studied French from kindergarten through 12th grade, so it’s only natural.

[@mplight2941]

Yes the East Coast has a greater influence of British/English/European than any other part of the country. We also learned French in school from 4th grade on. I moved to Southern California & it took me a very long time to pick up Spanish pronunciations of street names, towns, etc. I still get made fun of for the way I pronounce certain words or names. Apparently many of them I say like the English. Like orange. I say Ah- ringe & they say OR-ange. Lol who knew?

1. Where and how did you two meet?; 2. When did Vicountess Hichingbrook find out that Luke is a Viscount? Was it before her first visit to Mapperton? Did she find out the first time she arrived at Mapperton (as in, "Guess what, darling? I have a surprise for you!")?; 3. Do your children have titles?; 4. How many children do you have? What are their names and ages?; and 5. Are the boys attending fancy "public" schools such as Eaton or Harrow? If not, do they attend nearby comprehensives? xxx ooo --Writing from the Viscountess's hometown of Chicago!!! (Keep up the great work! I love the onscreen chemistry you both have!!)

[@TWROC96]

100K CONGRATS Luke and Julie. Also, what a wonderful way to meet your future in-laws- out in the woods, carrying a heavy log and answering questions about yourself; so much less intimidating than having a proper tea with the Earl and Countess of Sandwich upon first meeting. How do the folks in the local village address the Earl and Countess? From one of your lockdown videos of you visiting the local village, the folks call you Julie, right? Fun video. Thanks.

Would love a Q&A! And maybe a Q&A with the people that work on the gardens/grounds. Lol. Would love to know how that stuff gets planned out, who makes decisions, etc. I am not in a place to have any rewilding going on, but interested in how that works. And always looking for ideas/tips to plan and structure my smaller scale gardening efforts.

[@Digeroo123]

I think I know the answer to that one. I visited Mapperton recently and I think The Countess herself is still very involved with the planning of the garden. I presume it has been her baby for quite a long time. So I would very much like a video of her in action in the garden.

[@GoingGreenMom]

[@mochalattemiss]

Having breakfast in your pajamas is just divine. Poor Brits...always so formal and standing on ceremony (said in a nice way--don't be cross). In your house, you should be able to do whatever you wish, when you wish. To Americans, having breakfast in our pajamas and such represents intimacy, and family connection--in America, if you have been invited to our home, it stands to reason that you are already close to us as a family and that eating together in the morning before we get dressed and such is a good way to wake up, get nourishment, start our day together. Also, it makes so much more sense to wash up and brush your teeth AFTER breakfast than before. If you have been cooking, showering and dressing afterward takes the cooking smells from you and your clothing. You are nourished, cleaned, refreshed and ready for the day. Makes so much more sense to me!

[@nancycolbert2703]

Not formal....traditionalist.

LOL I love how he "recoils" & finds things "ghastly" that Americans do or say!!! That being said I'm an American that actually has always pronounced words like pajamas & route the English way. If I was a visiting guest in someone's home I'd be embarrassed to come to breakfast in my pajamas. No offense! LOL I realized I was raised with more European sensibilities being from the East Coast & mother's father being English & my father's parents both born in Sicily. I find it all very interesting!

Same here on all counts. I certainly eat breakfast in my pa-jaw-mas at home, but never in a million years would I even begin to *dream* of showing up that way in anyone else’s home unless they had explicitly told me in advance that that’s what they do. Even then I would at least have a robe on.
