We've got a BIG announcement to make...

We've got some big news to share with you about our new platform, Mapperton Live.
Mapperton Live is our new online platform, welcoming you backstage at Britain’s Finest Manor* to share the joys and challenges of life on a 21st century English country estate.
We have transferred the American Aristocrat Patreon account to Mapperton Live, and you can join us here: / mappertonlive

[@margaretgaal937]

Cute couple and gosh, she has a lot of American energy and he calms it with British calm and patience. Glad this is available. Nice to know what is experienced in other places and moments.

[@L.V.1]

Luke is a natural on camera! Super engaging and likable! You guys are a great team! Looking forward to watching Mapperton Live!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Us too!

[@mab1959]

Absolutely! Looking forward to gardening with the Countess as well. The Earl has been a star as well. It must be that brilliant fusion of American and British bloods.

[@ericduffield524]

I agree! The Earl & Countess are gems on camera. The gardens & house and surrounding land are fascinating.

[@julieklein8631]

By the way Julie. I was HOOKED on the "Christmas at Mapperton". Julie from Wisconsin

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

@@AT-kx6fj You don't have to be embarrassed - he's HER husband, not yours. 🙄

[@PetiteKalashnikovna]

The way Luke looks at you when you’re not looking at him is everything. That’s love!

[@kayess2634]

Luke is lovely, love his sense of humour and directness - he’s going to be a big success - like you!

[@debrap947]

What a beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing Mapperton House and Gardens with all of us.

[@teetarquin7012]

I love that you keep it real, Julie. You still sound like an American, and haven’t tried to fake a British accent! 👍🏻😀

[@karenryder6317]

Over the years of being something of an Anglophile, I've noticed that British English speakers like Luke have a rather smooth and melodic flow to their voices that we American's don't. Our speech is flatter and harder sounding.

[@28105wsking]

Dear Tee, Its just natural that you start to speak like the people around you if you live there and interact every day. Truly, its not fake, you just pick it up naturally. And its delightful to be able to blend in. Who wants to go thru life with a big, loudmouth American label stuck on their chest? No thanks! You don't sing the same song all the time do you? Play with language! It's delightful, fun, and skillful and makes people feel more comfortable with you. Besides that, it makes your mouth feel fun, too! You should have heard me after two years in England! Eight in India! etc. We are all chameleons!

[@gailsmith5755]

Except that she pronounces "be-you-tea-ful" like a Brit. It's the one word that tends to stick out as British in her more American speech patterns. We love the entire series.

[@patriciahughes5592]

Meh. She’s losing it, slowly but surely. Listen to her talk…

[@grisg.4121]

@Julie Montagu- I mean...This is amazing! You’re such the powerhouse and how adorable to have your handsome husband tell you what are great job you’re done. And yes, we also think likewise. I am so excited!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!!

[@33479Leigh]

Julie, you’re making America proud💜

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@mab1959]

Yes, she is. No need to go beyond that, but.... more Julie & Luke. Less Harry & Meghan, please and thanks. I’ve been an Anglophile since my grandmother introduced me to our British/Welsh heritage and I studied English with a minor in British history at University. It thrills me that America is represented so respectfully by Julie. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧❤️

I've already subscribed to Mapperton Live. I am so excited. I am an American (San Francisco) lady who has loved, researched, read British history for over 25 years. I am probably the only American who can actually name the monarchs from 1066. Seriously, that is either love or the beginnings of OCD. Love the channel. And I love the Earl and Countess of Sandwich and of course I had read all about the 4th from extensive reading of the 18th century. What a team you have! I can't wait for more.

[@heatheryoung36]

I am really looking forward to your new direction! Thank you so much, and it is lovely that your family will be involved as well. Take care and be safe. Cheers from Canada!

[@dominicdobson8747]

[@ericduffield524]

Julie - I ❤ this announcement from you and Luke! This is exciting and what I've hoped for from your YT channel. I've truly enjoyed the vids w your in-laws. Such a wealth of history! I look forward to watching more videos from you w your 👪 family (hope to see all 4 kids as well, if they are not too shy 😉) You & Luke are prime examples of how to keep an "aristo" family & house alive in the 21st cent. Much love from Peoria, IL - Eric P.s. I plan to visit as soon as we can travel again!

[@flynhawaiian3187]

Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii. We love following your videos and happy Luke is more involved, as we enjoy him so much as much as his parents. The kids are so cool to watch them from episodes, good job parents! Will follow your family anywhere we can watch you all. ❤🌺

I love you both. Another great episode. Looking forward to the new ventures, I had a hard time locating An American Aristocratic at first so I’m hoping all the new episodes of/on Mapperton will be easy access to view. By the way I’ve wanted an AGA forever. I’m a designer and in a studio where I worked I used it daily to make freshly baked cookies, breads and soups yes I’m obsessed as well.

You guys are killing it! Half the time I am laughing so hard because you are all so wonderful. Oh and when I heard the Countess call a man a "guy" or "this guy". It just sounded so funny because not to long ago you would have never heard a countess call someone "a guy". You are all precious.

Wow! This is great news! I think ‘Mapperton Live’ as a channel is the way to go, drawing together the different threads the past shows introduced into a cohesive whole. I really like the idea of seeing more of the rest of the family and the Mapperton team’ as a whole. This will be a fantastic success and a good substitute for the (hopefully temporary) loss of American Aristocrat II. Good luck with this new venture!
