I like that this lady was humble enough to learn British aristocracy protocols and practice it.
This woman is the kind of person pretty much everyone would like to have as a friend.
She is pretty cool and down to earth. I get a laugh over her funny back and forth bickering with her husband - something that many of us do with our partners. Julie, don’t ever stop being the girl next door. We love you!
Why would I want? She looks kitschy and shallow to me
Calling a scheme of enriching and promoting oneself "high quality production" is beyond disgusting.
@American Viscountess - Julie is so down to Earth! She’s accepted by The British public when she does the commentary on television yet, she doesn’t act pretentious. I mean… she doesn’t try to sound British. She’s still an All-American Girl 🙂. She’s fantastic ♥️
@@TeresaEliz I am not a Mosley (the British Public my ass) and I find her kitschy. OK, and trashy too.

I agree. She is such a good person.
A UK acquaintance of mine’s daughter had the honour of being one of the lace makers working on Catherine’s wedding dress. She was sworn to secrecy until after the wedding.
I worked with a woman who was the sister-in-law to one of the original flatmates that lived with Diana in London at the time of her engagement to Charles. Then flatmate was such a good friend, though, that she never revealed anything about Diana, even after her death, to her sister-in-law.
They learned from "Diana's dress", it seems. David Emmanuel and Elizabeth Emmanuel were announced as the designers to create Lady Diana's wedding dress; and how they were surrounded by reporters trying to catch a glimpse, or making a deduction... Funny stories now, but stressful for them back then most likely.
Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester wore a blush pink dress for her wedding. She was 34 when she married, and that was old at the time, so she thought white was inappropriate. I have always admired her.
I have always loved wearing a hat! I have a professional photo of me when I was six years old and I have on a hat! I am now 70 years old and still wear my hats to church on Sundays.
That nail polish one is recent, that the Queen changed. If you notice Princess Diana's and Princess Margaret's were painted red and colorful sometimes. Maybe King Charles will change it back! Another thing, they wear weights in the hems of their dresses, for when the wind is strong. 🍁
Not only British Royals, I learned all this how to act like a "Lady" etiquette from my mother in Niles, Michigan. Mind you I was a teenager in the 1970's so I thought she was nuts. Now, as an adult I can conduct myself properly at any occasion.
I cannot begin to tell you how very much I enjoy your videos. When I am depressed or anxious, I turn on one of your videos, your voice and your cheerful attitude really pick me up. Your energy and your genuineness are so refreshing and calming. I have watched your videos since very shortly after you started broadcasting. I feel like I am spending a little time with a dear friend when I watch you.😊
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You are doing a wonderful job. You, and your work, are greatly appreciated!❤
Thank you so much Jennifer! What a lovely comment for me to ready this evening. Means so much!
What a lovely comment.
Not only for royal. They are the basics of French etiquette, too.
Exactly. Royal etiquette is generally good manners which is in practice functional behaviour.
Great episode! The new hairstyle suits you, Julie, so well! ☺
Oh thank you!
Very interesting. Princess Catherine is always impeccably dressed and always dresses appropriately for the occasion. Her favourite colour seems to be green in all shades.
Those pajamas are GORGEOUS on you!! The new hair cut is SO becoming and suits you well.❤❤
Oh thank you!
First thing I noticed was hairstyle. I agree it's very nice
Julie
love ❤️ ur new haircut.
great pjs..stunning green.
For Christmas I want time turned back to when hats were normal. I would love wearing hats, it is so classy😍
For the late queen, hats also represented the crown when she was out in public.
I knew these rules because I'm such a Royal/Anglophile nerd - but I still totally LOVE videos like this! Good fashion protecols to follow I say.
Just love your new hair style.
Love your new haircut Julie. It looks great on you. 💕
Hi from southern Oregon. You and Luke are so much fun to watch. Love your content.
Thank you! We love making them!
Always love the whole boys wearing shorts thing but as I'm expecting my first little one in a couple weeks, I really don't see him wearing shorts in our -30 Montreal weather 🇨🇦❤️🤣 I guess we'll do the tradition from April until September
Congratulations on the birth of your first child! Your little one was an early Christmas blessing. Sending you heartfelt well wishes and much love. ❤
What fun. So glad I found your channel. ❤
Fascinating..it nice to see someone who respect most of these traditions
I loved Kate's dress! Some people may think it's old fashioned to have a dress code but it avoids most mistakes and probably makes royal life easier. The only thing that I think may change is that I can't imagine King Charles approving or disapproving royal wedding gowns 😂! Maybe Queen Camilla will be assigned that job!
Strange, Camilla wore what ? A mint green dress and hat for her wedding to Chuck. No white dress there. Did the queen have anything to say about that ?
Actually, Camilla wore a white suit to the civil ceremony. I wouldn’t call her dress for the blessing mint green but people see colours differently. I loved that dress, completely appropriate for a second marriage, elegant with just a touch of drama.
@@waterbird91 It was a 2nd marriage and would have been tacky to wear a white dress. White dresses are for first weddings. I love the hat she wore! The Queen was pretty shocked that Meghan Markle chose to wear a white dress. When my parents got married it was my mother's 2nd wedding and she wore a lovely blue velvet dress.
Ha ha! I didn’t think of that! That’s hilarious…King Charles approving dresses. Lol.
Kate? Her name is Catherine
I can understand the nail varnish. If a stronger colour chips the cameras are going to pick it up and those photos will be around forever. If a neutral colour chips a quick stroke of clear will help blend it back in a bit.
Thanks for sharing. Love your new hairstyle and those PJ’s are gorgeous. 😍😘
Thank you! 🤗
You look lovely in this green.
Julie I love your new haircut. It's fits your features perfectly.
My daughters are learning a lot from your channel. Growing up in Thailand they are learning all about their heritage through your channel. Thank you 🙏🏼🥰
Interesting as always. I just found out that the Japanese royal ladies do not pierce their ears. They wear earrings, but they have the screw on back or are clips.
One of the requirements for an incoming bride for the emperor-to-be. No pierced earlobes. No scars, either- if she had to have surgery, she's no longer eligible. There are a long list of other things, too- no alterations to the body, I suppose. Something about the imperial family's formerly divine status, I understand.
Julie you are amazing and a very hard worker. Love seeing your children in the videos. I’m sure you have saved Mapertons keep up the great work..
Thank you so much!
Very cute haircut, Julie!❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Love your new hair cut Julie ❤
One must always be appropriately attired aka 'look the part'.
I do like old fashioned styles hehe so it's always good to see Royals wear one
That green is fabulous on you!
I wear as much silk as I can. I have sensitive skin and allergies to synthetic fabric, so often silk is the only good option. I will check out Mommesilk. We love it when you do any kind of fashion videos!
Rules about coats - Practically & uniformity. Coats are a hassle to put on & take off & keep track of while on a visit. So it makes sense.
These fashion rules were followed under Queen Elizabeth, but they could change. I think the fascinator, in place of a full hat, is something relatively new that seems to be well accepted even if it's not much more than a hairband and feather. As well, white gloves don't seem to be that common any more, except when they're long with ballgowns or at a formal daytime event.
Love your channel! As far as the custom of royal women wearing hats for formal occasions, my guess would be it stems from the New Testament . The Apostle Paul spoke about the symbolic differences between men & women in their dress. Women were to wear a head covering in church services or ministering in service, as a sign of submission to the men in church leadership. Because the Monarch is the head of the Church of England, it would not be a stretch to suggest royal women/nobility honor this custom by the wearing of hats at events where the distinction of leadership roles have been passed down thru the centuries of traditions of the Church. Years ago, I attended worship services with a friend whose family ( called the Plymouth Brethren by some) honored this custom by the women wearing a hat or a veil when praying in these meetings. My friend sincerely loved the Lord, & bc she had left her had behind, she covered her head while bowing her head to pray by placing her palm on her forehead and the rest of her hand over her head. She was honoring the custom set down in the Scriptures by showing the distinction between men & women in leadership roles.
I love when you do these videos. So educational👍🏻
Thanks for sharing and also the tips around Mommesilk😊
Nice haircut❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Love your haircut!
I love how informative you are Julie and taken the time to learn such things. As I said in a previous comment, my mum told me much about the rules of the Royals and she did tell me another rule that had to do with red shoes with heels or bright shoes in general. The were concidered scandalous back in the early 19th century and it wasn't until her Majesty started to wear brighter colors that rule was changed somewhat.
Btw, green really looks lovely on you!! 😍
Love the hair Julie!
Wonderful Julie .. I have wondered about the rules of dress for royals. They have a lot of rules I know about so many things. 🌸
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Julie, I know when I check in with you, I will learn something! The info from your sponsor was every bit informative as the royal lesson.
So glad!
Oh great Julie, this will be interesting. My mum told me a few rules when her mother grew up in the early 19th aristocratic era. Some of the rules applied to them as well. 😍
Jesus, your family must have the elixir of life if you had a grandmother alive in the early 19th century!
@@lepolhart3242 Lol yeah and no, my mum is still alive, she's 89 and my grandparents would be around 110 now if they were still around. They had my mum late in life which was unusual back then and my mum had me at 38. 😁
@@lepolhart3242 I remember my great-great grandparents born in the 1870's, several great-grandparents born in the 1880's. I had 11 living grandparents when I was born...
The key thing about the short pants (a.k.a. shorts) for all upper class & royal boys is that they're commonly worn by children all year round, not just in summer and warm climates. They'll wear them with thick knee socks and sweaters in winter but won't switch to long pants until they're old enough. Maybe because they're always seen as being at play indoors and out until they reach school age. In Bermuda the shorts are national dress for adult men, but they still wear them with jacket and tie for business attire.
Naja, wenn man im Winter draussen manchmal minus 25 hat(ja, ja, ich weiss, dass in England gibt sowas nie), wird etwas schwierig. Entweder sitzt man zu Hause oder wird zur Schule/Kita chauffiert. Von Skilaufen oder Eishockey, oder laengere Spaziergaenge usw. ist dann keine Rede - in Shorts.
Love the haircut!
Thank you!!
I just love your videos! Your silk pj's and new haircut are very becoming !🥰
When my son was in public school in Bristol, all the younger boys wore shorts to school all year long. I think only the set one boys wore trousers.
I just adore your videos! I'm from Naugatuck, Ct and you bring such joy to this small town girl ☺️
This is great I’m looking at wedding gowns! Love it!
The ‘don’t remove coat’ rule must be tough during menopause. When I get a hot flash, I want to take off everything (but don’t), it’s like walking into a 125F sauna. Now, I always wear a silk tank or tee under sweaters, so I’ll be covered when, inevitably, I have to take them off for a few minutes. My father grew up in Europe before and during WWII, and boys didn’t wear long trousers, in any weather, until age 12. When a new Supreme Court Justice was sworn in about 10 years ago, his little boy’s formal suit had shorts, not long trousers, he was adorable. It’s still standard here in the US for formal occasions, too, boy’s suits have short pants. Great video.
Not sure about the rest of the U.S. but in the old south, "Ladies never wear hats after 6PM," as per my mother's instructions. She was very well versed on the protocols of the old south. Is this hat rule true in the U.K?
As per the Royal Butler, the rule applies in the UK, too. 😉
As a Viscountess today -what would have been a Viscountess's duties be compared to todays worlds Viscountess? Did they partake of all the things you do in Mapperton? Thanks for your answers.
I absolutely adore you Julie! You are what a royal should be.
Love the color of the pj's Julie, looks great on you. Love the new hair style
Guess my only question is: can they take off their coat when going from outside to inside?
I've heard that Queen Elizabeth would shift her pocketbook to her right hand as a signal. Can't remember now if it was a signal for getting her away from a boring person or something else. Any truth in that?
Hi Julie! Love your channels, I first saw you on Ladies of London but I love seeing you do the British Aristocracy, History and just life! Be it in documentaries or here on CZcams! I would love to see more videos about rules. experiences, history of the royalty, nobility and aristocracy like this video and your Royal dinner etiquette video! Lots of Love from Dublin, Ireland!
Oh thank you! And lots more coming! Wait until tomorrow's episode. royally fun!
Wonderful information! Thank you!
But weren't those rules at the behest of Elizabeth? Certainly they apply almost entirely to fashion as it existed in 1900s-onward. Whose job is it to decide what the royals wear and do in future?
You are 💯% correct. The rules are cyclical and determined by the current monarch's preferences.
QEII did not approve of a wedge shoe but Kate wore it when she was not in her presence.
Kate is now free to wear it whenever she chooses.
@@Mmeme2023 Did not approve? Did she consider them unladylike, or obscene, or did she just not like them? That sort of thing makes me question the importance of the royal family.
@@wandasetzer1469 I think of it as a kind of CI - Corporate Identity. The royal family represents a certain something, if you will. So they are to dress for the job, like many of us (in a different way, of course).
Love the green silk P.J.s and your new do! Both are so flattering!
If I remember one rule about dresses. Is to have tiny weights sewn in to prevent one's upper legs and undergarments from being seen. Since some of the fabrics used are too lightweight. That due to a breeze could cause a clothing malfunction if weights are not used in the hemlines.
I simply adore your haircut; very becoming! You looked the part in this video despite wearing silk pijamas; I had no idea you were wearing them until you said so. Wonderful! Thank you for such informative video. Could you please confirm/deny the rule I read once about no one was allowed to wear a tiara when the queen was present wearing one herself? I remember an actress caused a stir when she did. I think it was Sofia Loren, but I can't find information about it.
Oh thank you! Yes, I'm not sure on that one as I think it's an unwritten rule...... so perhaps you are right!
All great rules. Love your Channel have great admiration for all your work and the person that you are! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I read somewhere that wedding gowns must cover the shoulders out of respect for the church. Nothing off the shoulder or strapless.
In Italy today, showing off your shoulders is considered low class.
And because we don't want wardrobe malfunctions. 😉
Did not know that silk made that much difference my grandchildren use them for their hair .
I soo love you so much but I know how the Royal family. Works . I have been watching them since 1979 when my Dad was in the Military and And when we visited there in England. And I have loved England since!!! I Understand how. It os between the old and the new times
Rule #1, is perfect for us lefties, then, lol! Excellent video, enjoyed it immensely, thank you! 😊💛🧡❤️🌿
P.S. Hope you update us on your schooling, soon? Ty!
Julie, I love your new haircut.❤
I had not had time to watch many of your videos lately, covid, got me. I was wondering what about gloves. Even tho I live in the US gloves were always a necessity at formal gatherings! I love your haircut!
Wow! What a wonderful channel I was recommended! Perfect videos for both broadening my horizons and improving my English! Thanks, Julie ☀️🍂
Welcome!
Awesome and etiquette at its best
Loving the hair!
I read that a favored nail polish color is Ballet Slippers by Essie; so, of course I had to go buy s bottle.
Good evening Madam and hello from North Carolina, thank you for the new video always lovely to learn something new.
You are so welcome
Well done!
Love your hair!
Love Julie!~ From someone else who grew up in Illinois!
I’m enjoying your content and loving your new hairstyle 😊
Another highly informative vlog, Julie! I am surprised, though, that you didn't mention the weighted hem to prevent the skirt hem from flying up in a gust of wind (à la Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch").
I ADORE vintage hats and hat pins! Add on maybe a blingy brooch or two ~ and I do wear them!
I did not know about holding handbags on the left! It makes perfect sense. I usually carry a crossbody. I need to switch sides. For easier access.
All kind of fancy hats are always seen at Ascot
Hi from Anchorage, AK . I’ve enjoyed your videos , history and information about England. We hope to travel next summer.
Please do!
Somehow I can't see King Charles III caring about approving of anyone's dress.
I love your new hair.
I am relatively new to your channel - and love it! You are so interesting! I love old traditional dress - after all, I am from Alabama!!
Me too!!
Thank you so much!
Silk is a natural fabric since it is natural, like you said it absorbs moisture . Polyester being synthetic doesn''t absorb moisture so your hair will stick to it and smash down when you wear a hat lined It (hat hair) doesn't give you "Hat hair" or smashed funny hair when you wear one. That is why the best hats are lined with 100% silk or 100% cotton.
So interesting, thank you🤗
You’re welcome 😊
Your new hairdo suits you so well. Love it
Oh thank you!
I've just remembered another rule which concerns the shade of lipstick that can be worn. Bright, red lipstick I believe is a no go, a bit like nail polish.
Love your jammies😊
Another reason for the short trouser rule could be that all small boys wore them until the late 60's if not longer. My brother hated hated hated them but was told by mother that trousers were expensive (which they were back then comparatively eg I bought a very expensive coat in 1976 for £20 and toaday that's still what a lot of coats cost I digress...) and that little boys would put holes in them while playing. Which is precisely what he did the first day he wore his long awaited long trousers. Gosh I am boring sorry. So basically royal boys trousers are a throwback to when material was expensive and treasured by all.
Классное видео ❤!
AV’s. Hair looks lovely
Hi from wheaton, IL.
Silk pyjamas are the best,
My aunt went to a centurion birthday party the theme of the party was big hats she had trouble seeing out from under the hat. So I suggested tilting the hat to one side, it worked she wasn’t keen on hats to begin with. I thought she looked good in it, oh well😊
Great and interesting comments. I grew up wearing hats and ladies and men always wore hats. Your head needed to be always covered in Church. P S. Love your hair trim!
Neat channel. I agree.
The hat rule comes from the tradition of women 'covering their heads' in church - which came from an interpretation of 1 Cor 11:2-16 in the New Testament. Men, alternatively, were supposed to take OFF their hats when entering a building.
