How I Became the ROYAL FAMILY Commentator

[@janetclaireSays]

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.

[@AmericanViscountess]

🥰🥰

[@missybelmont9830]

Exactly. She has total respect for her English family and their history. Love Julie..

[@americaguillen9583]

She is intelligent and a good person. Her solid family upbringing is showing.

[@margarettwittty]

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.

[@lisamacdonald9375]

I would love to see that as well!

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist431]

It is an interesting conversation, expressing the various facets of Brit/ American family life. Prince Edward's wife offered fun insights: tomato, tomato.

[@margarettwittty]

@@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.

[@dccd4]

I would love to see that too!😻

[@missybelmont9830]

Great idea!

[@christinejackson8542]

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 !!!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Wow, thank you!

[@titian-red]

This American seconds this!

[@kmreed295]

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 😊

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@pistolannie6500]

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.

[@aprilgrant1957]

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.

[@christinev6206]

Julie, you are such a lovely person..I truly enjoy watching your KZbin series...Thank you.

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@bernievandewalker1420]

You represent the people in the USA wonderfully, and we certainly need to send good vibes to the rest of the world. Thank You

[@vladtold6974]

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

[@anna-tn8mg]

You must be kidding. How dare you? You most certainly don't represent the people in the USA. dr anna

[@heatherboo1]

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.

[@ragnhildwadahl6171]

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.

[@glendabillingsley6996]

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!

[@atlaslex]

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!

[@cubbie7762]

Thank you for representing us (Americans and Chicagoans) so well! 🇺🇸

[@annemoefaauo7055]

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!

[@anna-tn8mg]

Boy, do I hate babbling. And sorry, again. Not all Americans are cretins. This is really offensive to the American people.

[@ronaldjames4986]

A wonderful informative and interesting video. Thank you, Julie. Looking forward to more from you. Your knowledge and sincerity are much admired and appreciated!

[@AmericanViscountess]

You are so welcome!

It's 3 p.m. and 20 degrees here in Chicago. Lol

[@maybemargaret7529]

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.

[@gene1087]

The idea for your Masters degree was a good one.

Julie, I love all your videos! Thank you for this video on being a royal commentator. Suzy (Sugar Land, Texas)

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!

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist431]

Absolutely!

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist431]

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.

[@anna-tn8mg]

@@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 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.

[@pamogle488]

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!

[@heathermartinez8640]

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.

[@kathleensmith8365]

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!

Interesting,Julie! You are great the clips I saw.Loved your blond hair!Just one thing- everyone keeps saying that Harry and Meghan live in LA.They don't. They live about 100 miles north in Montecito, just outside Santa Barbara.It is very wealthy and Oprah lives a stone's throw away from them, along with other famous celebrities, other moneyed people.No one bothers them, no paps hanging around like in LA.Unless something is super hyped like the Oprah interview, here In So Cal they are just another wealthy celebrity couple.As far as tabloids,hardly anyone here even reads mainstream print newspapers anymore,let alone print tabloids!Social media paparazzi shots online get more attention but there isn't real editorial POV.

We certainly wouldn't be in the same circles as you are but you are studying something that does fascinate me as well, the long and rich history of the UK.
