It is such a joy to see a married couple that has so much fun together. They are hilarious! I could watch them report on just about anything bc they are so fun to watch.
yes,great chemistry.
They definitely swingers she goes for the rich young men he goes for the groupie young girl that what to be apart of the rich
I agree, Me too. This Mornings biggest mistake was letting them go. An honest & loyal couple. I Love them.
he is a beta male though
Ruth it's not ,10 pounds a suit, it's a metre, you can not make a suite out of a metre ! How many metres I do not know
They will tolerate you at their parties, gladly take your money from you and disrespect you in very subtle ways when laughing about you behind your back or even into your face.
Quite so
Such class! 🤢
Yes and then they will claim to be people of class while doing it. The British high society days are of less importance in our country than ever. There was a documentary last year interviewing Lords and Ladies who admit few are all that impressed anymore by these titles. Rightly so.
Sounds childish.
True, I've seen it happen several times too.
Didn't expect it, but it was nice watching a couple like this...the two of them were hilarious.
Aren't they the cutest!
Many of those living in those ancestral homes are having to open them for tourists because they do not have the wealth they used to.
It’s more so because of the upkeep
You can pretty much buy your way into "Café Society" (fashionable society) which is full of celebrities and self-made people But it is much more difficult to be accepted into the establishment (old moneyed society) unless you are highly cultured and well-connected.
а это комментарий от когда-то состоятельного аборигена, который давно проел свое состояние)). Мол сейчас я бедный, но такой же гордый).
perfect
BLOOD LINES an absolute !
Plus ur Bloodline matters ...
High society can be purchased easily. There is no difference anymore. Bloodlines without money have no power, money with no blood has all the power they want.
Ruth is such a knock out... absolutely gorgeously beautiful... He's a lucky man to have her...
One could say, that, in comparison to the average viewer, Ruth and Eamonn are privileged people too, financially set for life and moderately wealthy!
It’s all relative
Yes, wealth is relative. You don't have to be a millionaire or billionaire to be privileged. Class is much more than money - though I suppose their point is that billionaires can buy their way in to the "upper classes". Still, there are many people who I would consider upper class that aren't that well off simply because of their lineage or property, regardless of the amount of debt they're in. This show does not address that.
True, but they are simple ordinary folk, both raised working class.
No their upper middle class six figure is descent but not even rich.
Me drinking my $0.2 tea and enjoying how rich live😅
😂 me n my vintage beer
Since it is all about wealth in the first place I would have to say the answer is yes. Some of the money is old money but look at how that was earned. Nothing worse than what was done to earn the old money. Conquer and make the people surfs, enslave others on plantations, colonize other countries and drain away their wealth.

here comes the subhuman apes
They are all trying to wash away their dirty conscience by adorning themselves with silly names such as "old money" and the "mannerisms" that go with it...Ridiculous.
Mohammed el Fayed was unable to buy his way into "high society".
Horses are a passion, whether you are rich or poor. We played broom polo as children, taught by our first riding teacher, Cliff Hunt. He was passionate about horses and a reigning local polo player.
If you are putting them ahead of basic things like food and housing security then they are an addiction
Must have been very difficult for you growing up with horses and a riding teacher. My sympathies.
Class is not how much money you have. It is how you conduct yourself.
*but people say " a janitor has no class ... **-Is it true or false-*
Correct, but how you conduct yourself properly is widely different to everyone, not alone different around the world.
Do the royals actually conduct themselves well. It's just culture. Appearances. Charity has to be more than skin deep. It has nothing to do with wealth or arbitrary norms.
@@debrawoodrick2889Being royal doesn't necessarily give you class. There are plenty of royals who lack it. Prince Andrew for instance has privilege but no class whatsoever. I'm not talking about social class hierarchy here but behavior as it relates to character.
@@lindsayb922class as it relates to character and morality is universal across cultures. Manners for instance vary greatly across cultures. Within a given culture bad manners may be considered low class.
I didn’t watch the video but going by the title. The class standards in British society are very well established. The people with old money will always rule over people with new money. The new money is in the club but they have less clout.
English, not actually British.
And less class.
that is not true anymore.
True some people care more about status
Money is money. Unless you are obviously crass, people are very much forgiving. I mean, who cares if you use the wrong fork on a dish?
Such an amazing couple, they have made watching this worth our while🔥🔥🔥👏👏
I appreciate all the more KCIII wearing his old loved jackets & clothes time after time, Princess Catherine in her high street style etc. Loving Ruth & Eamon, more please!!
I would watch Ruth and Eamon in anything , they are hilarious……….Donna in Toronto
I would take the money, but not the high society class structures and all that entails. Being so restricted would cause a kind of expectation anxiety - worrying about fitting in. Unless I was born into that world, I might never feel completely secure about my place.
If I ever get rich I will, at the very least, have a driver. It would just make life so much more bearable.
❤❤❤😂
Chauffeur my dear ❤❤
Amennnnn
This was a pleasure to watch because these two are a lot of fun!
the couple was hilarious 🤣i always wonder why people are obsessed about the rich i couldnt be bothered
Indeed
@@longloismariam7767window shopping
I find them superficial and shallow.
Yes rich peoples antics are good for a laugh, most sensible wealthy people would never try to do as they do
I love their sense of humour, their playfulness and that they seems to enjoy touching - so holding hands.
This duo made the video so much fun to watch, loved it!
I'm loving all this glimpse into that life🌸🌸🌸🌸
Good to see two superstars having so much fun, superb content and happy laugh with both of you! I bought the 2,5 million earrings Ruth wanted so let's arrange a pickup! 🎉😂
High society isn't about money, it's about pedigree.
And pedigree cannot be replicated... or indeed faked.
And pedigree is not loads of money😂
@@pilarantelo9555 Pedigree isn't money at all. That's why a lot of titled people have sold their titles over the years.
one can make one by being well mannered and educated.
English are not pedigree, but blood around the world. Royal priviledged will not last, Harry has seen to that
I love this couple they are so funny and lively! Love from Texas ❤
Sure seems like it. Those with cash LOVE those with cash. No threat. Someone mentioned 'pedigree." It USED to be like that but as numbers dwindle and social etiquette plummets to the depth of the Grand Canyon, now it's definitely more about having the cash to compete.
BLOOD LINES superceed everything in high society, and that goes back centuries.
@@RosemarieComtois-qs8ce and that is hardly just Britain - that is worldwide.
@MTknitter22 Yes..absolutely correct.
@@RosemarieComtois-qs8ce Blood lines can become quite diluted, however!☺

Wow that nice. Congrats for being fulfilled in a beautiful country
Sounds lovely 🥰
He was too touchy on the girl who won the horse race!!! Why do men think it’s okay to put their hands on a woman at anytime and with his wife next to him!! What a creep! && his talk with that school boy, just disgusting!!

I simply love this couple. And I mean it. They're lovely.
Greetings from Brazil.

Ruth and Emon are hilarious 😂😂😂
It is not a matter of buying yourself into society but that within that society you know your place. And when it comes to paying for that knowing your place it is not your money being spent.
Why is this one of the most fascinating subjects to learn about? Like don't get me wrong rich people can be really annoying but damn high society is interesting.
My ancestors, on my father's side, hale back to the French aristocracy. He survived the guillotine due to his disheveled apparel, and had gambled away most of his assets. He didn't have enough riches left to be worthy of revolutionary death. So the story goes.
I am lucky to be here!
History is fascinating.
Love Princess Holly of France, Germany, and Australia;

Yes, enjoy while you can. But don't forget the one that blesses the rich. Use that power & strength for the good of the nation. Amen.
Horse and Hounds? Reminds me of "Nothing Hill" 😄
You'd be surprised to learn how much knowledge you can draw from those glossy magazines.
Quite useful when you're true blue collar, with plenty of friends in higher places...
You're valued for your loyalty rather than money.
No need to be submissive though.
Wannabees are not high in regard.
nice videoEamonn and Ruth could do a video on who the upper class in Kenya live
it's insulting to refer to the super-rich as "the other half". It's no where near half. It's 1% of the population with 3/4 of all the wealth.
Well to be fair it is just a popular saying in the English language used in context.
It also seems it was a tongue-in-cheek sort of title
1%? 😂 Thats not even close to the level of wealth in this video.
0.1% thats better but 1% is way off
More please.
English class isn't necessarily about all these things. In many ways it is but the real essence is that the English came from Denmark so you have to start there. England was founded by Jutes and Angles were the largest group, hence the country being named after them. Frisians and Saxons joined in later. A lot of what you see in this video is more about people compensating by going bigger. Many others in England don't do that and you want see them in these videos. These tend to be the Anglo-Scandinavian heritage people. They often have the best tastes and styles in everything and that includes some minimalism. Most are of Danish heritage but some are Norwegian and you can see the overlap when you visit those countries. Success is judged a bit differently for them than how these many 'strivers' in these videos approach life.
Great point ❤
The English came from Denmark? Really? What did they do with the people who were in England before? LOL.

Thank you
The dress you were wearing look much nicer than the one he chose for you
I absolutely Love this Pomp & Circumstance look In to the obscene wealth indulgences, the Estates and the Fashion necessary to breathe the same air... This has brought my Heart much Joy to see a new generation of wealthy education, and the actual costs of what one must have to be gossiped about... and one knows New Money will not really be accepted by Old Money - there will always be these hurdles to leap over, course after course, and if you are not able to attend every event of The Season every year for many years, and with each event having a different exclusive outfit.... Well then Forget About It... and you thought 'Haters' on Social Media Platforms are vicious. I come from aristocratic lineage, by the time I was born we ( Great Grandparents to be exact ) had exiled from Revolution with the thought that after 'the people' had 'settled down' they could then return...HuH!... they were what they were and I am able to carry Title when using the family name, however there's no money here, and I can not see any way of rekindling their bygone and Beautifully lavish lifestyle for myself... I do have a wonderfully grand bloodline story inherent within me, and that brings me heartfelt joy... and much joy too from not having a need to stress about 'going all-out to impress' anyone I may or may not like just to endure outdated rigours of the 'High Societal Norms' - even though I do feel emotions to my core as I watch this... with a smile on my face all the while. Thank You @absolutedocumentaries for a snippet of a glance, and the laughter from the presenters enjoyment of it all.
Awesome couple
Its odd in the UK, how many of the landed gentry, are flat broke. I take it, that most on this show, were not inherited money.
Maintaining those old houses takes a lot of money.inheritance taxes etc.class isnt actually about money.
We I love this couple. Very lovely 😊
@@jameshusrt5323 great! And you?
@@jameshusrt5323 nice to meet you I’m Marie from Alberta Canada
Learning etiquette is also essential.
These two are entertaining 😂
I think if you doing something for the fun and love and appreciation of something you can do anything like the lady who won the polo match but not to impress other people. It has to be for yourself. So if you love tweed wear tweed! 💖✨ I love how the lovely presenters are having fun. Life is supposed to be fun.
Their money, their rules
Notice nobody has the ethics and honesty to say why nobody can afford to live in those homes anymore? The inheritance tax and property taxes are through the roof. Some states over thon thonner in the U.S., by contrast, are working to greatly reduce property taxes.
Lol it's not because of the taxes. It is because their money was earned on the back of their "slaves". Times changed😅
The couple is so cute :)
It's all kind of immoral. There is so much poverty. And people spending 10grand on buttons. So sad
The readers of horse and hound will be very delighted
Don’t forget that if it weren’t for the American ‘million dollar princesses’ from the Victorian times, a lot of these ‘aristocrats’ wouldn’t be. As well, Dukes such as the Duke of Westminster come from business men years ago who slowly ranked up due to money.
Charming
Just 1 day to feel what it's like to be rich 🤑
Would be nice if people in other countries had enough sense, class and good taste to make similarly beautiful buildings.
@J M, oh I assure you, they do.
Why’re you bothered about people in other countries? 🙄
This is so British of you
Ever thought who funded this "beautiful buildings "?
Many think they can, and many are not of this country.
Louisa is a Partner with Brown Rudnick. Same firm who represented Johnny Depp in America. She seems very young to be a partner. 🤔
As a poor man and christian I total agree with The descent dress code . Finally something positive of being rich.
I ove these 2 hilarious personalities 😂😂😂 soo funny.
How rude, "If you havevto ask how much, you probably can't afford Stowe. Ask for a pay rise." How utterly condescending.
I reckon it was a harmless joke. Very British thing to do
@@alvinmasta5267 That's what you call implied insults in Britain?
Money gains you access into most of what's available on the planet, but relationships are fostered, and titles ought to be still granted. The way I would pay for a yacht would be to purchase more than one, and operate a charter service for them, but I'm not interested in sharing my house with the public. I think there are other ways you can make money from an estate, and if you aren't making money on the water, it's flowing down the drain.
When estates function as supplemental power plants, electric flying vehicles will be the way people avoid traffic congestion.
down by the river we're kept separate from the riff raff by a white picket fence. lol. 38:00
Good for those who are very very wealthy! Most of the time -- the same people at the same parties -- same vacations -- boring conversation with people who are even more than boring. That is not everyone -- but those who are very low profile and doing very interesting projects -- now that is using money in a very constructive manner and they are very interesting. And good for them! The nuevo riche --- noooooooooooooooo Shallow with nothing to add to the conversation!
After watching the documentary on Prince Andrew "Banished", the British upper class are "boughetto" 🤣
Trash with money
FYI this is episode is from 2015
lovely couple
These two are Hilarious! 😂😂😂😂❤

One thing I can say for I never mocked the Queen Her Majesty ever, and whoever does is not a friend of mine. She has done so much for the world and loved by everyone 💕 we miss her dearly. I am a service worker.
Net worth of the couple Ruth and Eamonn is around 10 million pounds in 2023
In Belgravia / Mayfair is not too much.
@@dr.perfectsmile4175 agree not the high end wealthy however in comparison in 2023, the median average household net worth in Great Britain was £302,500. The median average household net worth in the South East was £503,400. Households, where the head was retired, are the wealthiest group, with a median average wealth of £489,300

Stowe is beautiful. Nice show,though some of the questions posed, can be a bit toe curling.
I don't think it's the other
"half"!
Other 0.002 percent is more accurate ;)
Never heard of a metaphor?
Would ❤ to see a Polo match
Ruth is gorgeous! I liked her previous dress. Suited her better.
I nearly was accepted on the water polo team, but my horse drown

It’s NOT ‘the other half’: it’s the 1%!
Polo Ponies have different muscle group development for better cornering at a dead stop. 🐎🏇🏻🏆 Did you notice, the school boy didn’t ‘um or Ah’ and spoke eloquently of future, where as poorer regular school goers don’t seem to plan their lives at all and they certainly don’t plan for future generations. Big differences come with not abiding and questioning the Dress Regs. dictate.

It seems that being rich in Britain and being rich the US is like day and night. British people care so much about looking always like royals, princes, queens etc. Their lives, cars, homes seems kind of boring, dated and pretentious. It's 2023 and they seem like they're living in the 1800's.
You forgot to mention how insufferable, they seem!😂
You forgot to explain about the American people.
@@as-1982 well, it's just the opposite of everything I said. You could meet a billionaire in the US and you would never know because they dress like everyone else and act like everyone else and they don't act and walk like a poodle, their homes are always super modern, you know, the usual stuff.
@@thereaperzcrew That's a lot of assumptions isn't? You don't think there are no billionaire in UK behave like the US billionaires do?
And lovingly every minute by the looks of it 😂😂😂
What profits a man to gain the world but loose his soul… what can he pay for his salvation?!
Exactly. I have often thought when those lauded here on earth simply because they might be born royal or others terribly privileged - when they die, they meet and find out Who the real Royalty is - the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords - Jesus.
The soul is never lost. In fact, it's eternal. So, why not enjoy life to the max when you have the luck to live a lavish life? In the end, life is ephemeral so enjoy any circumstance you happen to be in.
Don’t see anyone from So.Philly in the classroom
I hope they're careful on those horses just be careful on them beautiful ponies❤
I'd think I was in heaven in a little one room cabin in the woods.
I wonder if they remember that polo was from Iran that everybody played for fun till Britian happened. Damn scavengers.
Its good to see two millionaires meeting other millionaires
Nothing wrong with a bit of class !
The Middleton's? Relax people, only joking, we all love them
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter into heaven...
And it's easier for a rich man to go to heaven than a poor person
Interesting at Stowe , that the girls are allowed to have their hair loose .
