My favorites; "I was supposed to be playing the piano but all I wanted to do was play with the dagger""Everyone went out to London but I had to go home because my Mother was cooking an ox"
-
"I appreciate enormously what I've got. But I think like maybe my father, if I hadn't had it, I would have had a happier life, or a more fulfilled one." What strange, confusing, yet incredibly interesting lives these people live.
-
the first duke in the beginning of the documentary had me cracking up. he has so many titles that he couldn't remember one of them lmao
-
i'm far too addicted to these docs
-
4:50 'My mother liked the servants to be tall' , 'actually one of the servants is my real father'
-
their houses make me feel like I live on the streets lol
-
I felt really bad for Lady Camilla. Her mother ran away and left her dad and daughter. And then her dad remarried to an evil witch. That must have been tough, having her mother abandon her.. Very interesting documentary! I always dreamed of living in a castle :)
-
I felt so sorry for young Camilla. Her mother left her when she left her husband, she had a terrible step mother, and they didn't give her a title because she was a girl. And she was away at boarding school... which I guess was better than staying with her father and the step monster. All the money she inherited could never have replaced the emotional support a girl her age needed.

When you can't remember your own titles #JustRoyalThings
-
Those born in nobility seems humble and kind while the people who are married into nobility is snobbish.
-
From the mouth of Lady Rosemary Spencer Churchill: "I just hate things on a slant." "I couldn't stay long [at the Queen's coronation], because my mother was roasting an ox in the park; I had to get home."
-
Lol the lady is so me. When your friends are out partying and stuff but you gotta be home for dinners and chores lol
-
I think this is quite fascinating - the monarchs draw in tourism due to the charm of British culture. So i dont find their existence a waste especially with the history attached to their stories
-
I love how almost all of these people are so humble and down to earth. I would love to meet any of these people.
-
A sentence like "Well, they wouldn't do this if they knew the little marquess was on board", even though it was said by a child, unintentionally illustrates so well why it's such a good thing their era is over.
-
That first guy probably had more titles than every lord, king and queen in Game of Thrones put together.
-
The 10th Duke puts it candidly: all of this is just because of an accident at birth, I didn't do anything to deserve it.
-
The interviewer is doing a brilliant job!
-
The South African duke seems like a really good guy
-
It strikes me that all the natural born nobility seem very down to earth and nice, but the two women who married into nobility, the Duchess of St. Alban's and especially the Welsh farmgirl, seem like total snobs who purposefully married into nobility. I love the South African man, though. He's dedicated to his title, but also very thankful for what he has and still doesn't quite seem to believe it's actually happening.
