  • This time Julie, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke visits Deene Park in Northamptonshire, the ancestral home of the Brudenell family. Deene Park opened its doors to the public for the first time in the 1950s. Now Charlotte and Robert Brudenell open a selection of rooms to the public on certain days of the year and host weddings in the grounds. Julie ventures behind the scenes to glimpse how Deene Park is still very much a cherished family home.
    From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

    My Dad’s dream was to take a tour of manor homes. He loved watching British shows partly just to see the homes and decor. I recently discovered we are lineal descendants of William the Conqueror, and the monarchs down to King Edward III, and then we’re related to every monarch from Henry VII down to King Charles.
    Sadly, my Dad passed away unexpectedly last year & never got to see all the manor houses. He did make it to the UK 4 times and saw a great deal of it. So he was luckier than most Americans.

      Of course, unless your a Native American, your all our literal cousins, a lot of you come from Spain Ireland (that's why your all obsessed with being Irish, cause a lot of you are) and Europe but most come from Henry the 8th and King Charlemagne. So Americans really are just Europeans. The only divide we should be seeing is the massive ocean in between us. 😊

The Brudenell’s are so warm and gracious in offering a glimpse into the amazing history and treasures of their family. I very much appreciate the great depth in which you’ve presented this stunning house, its gardens, grounds and initiatives. I wish them, and you, the very best in your extremely vital work to preserve British heritage for the future.

    I like old white linen tablecloths or big table mats, they protect the table from scratches (fork, knives), wet rings from the glasses o hot plates. I think that a nice table setting is essential to a lovely lunch, dinner or breakfast, or just a simple tea/coffee moment. It gives pleasure to the eye and contributes to the general ambiance.

Charlotte Brudenell one of the caretakers of Deene Park seems so warm and inviting - she speaks fast though and my American ears have trouble understanding. She and her husband Robert are very personable and they have done and are doing a superb job of restoring and maintaining their home. Love this video and the people who appear with you!

    I watched this video twice, just for "Minta" (sp?) That dog is wonderful. "Just let me sploot in the main hall, Mummy. I can see this is going to take a while!" I could have bet that she was on the floor next to Daddy at the breakfast table, because I saw him reach down! What a most fortunate puppy! She could really have a lucrative career giving tours of her own home! :)
    And what a beautiful home and couple! Such down to earth, normal, lovely people, with a true love of history. And I love the style of the home as well: respectful to all the people of all the eras who inhabited this place.
    Why couldn't we see the "secret tower" in the garden? ;)

    Hello, I love your videos and as someone who was born in England and adores history, antiques and historic houses that they do not have or appreciate here it is extra special. This house has it all and so many origial pieces and characteristics. The owners seemed so warm inviting and lovely. I wanted to mention; this video has been up for a while I'm sure someone has mentioned this, I have not read through the comments. When you learning the pressed napkin folds the housekeeper mentioned adding ivy, holly and then you mentioned adding mistletoe- Mistletoe is actually a parasite in trees and is very poisonous to ingest. I would suggest you not add mistletoe to a napkin that would touch the mouth. Even after using for decor purposes wich it is hung out of reach in say a kissing ball, you should be careful and wash hands completely and not use it in decor or in spots where it could be ingested as it is very poisonous and can make people and pets really sick.
