I have said this before, but I cannot stand Julie Montague. When I saw this morning that she had posted a vlog about the Queen I was pissed. So disrespectful. Several days ago, I fast forwarded through two of her vlogs. One, where they finally got their ancient pool restored and were taking a swim in it and then a more recent one with some dire "this is bad" wording on the thumbnail.......turns out they had a leak in a pipe and didn't have water for a day or something. I think her husband said the entire village had no water.....I don't know if using the word "village" meant just their estate or not - let's be honest, The Earl of Sandwich's estate is huge..
What really surprised me was that her husband, who does play a somewhat prominent role in her vlogs (which ones, I don't know, as she has more than one stupid channel), was the one begging for Patreon money! I was shocked. He did it not once on the same video, but twice! And I think she may have come back and done a drive-by at it at the end! I was fast forwarding a lot, and saw her talking and then there was the overlay about how to become a Patron. So, I've just watched them redo their ancient pool, I've seen her buy and restore/redecorate an apartment in Italy during the pandemic, I think she may have had an Aubusson tapestry restored or was at least thinking about it, as she toured the factory.........and they are asking people to become Patrons to help restore the ancestral home? I am fully aware that the cost to maintain these homes is high and that tax is also high, for all of the people who have inherited them. But come on! Did you need your circa 1800 - or however old it was - nasty pool redone just at this moment? They have a restaurant, I believe they do weddings or events there, they have a gift shop, they do tours of the estate....what else could people possibly do to help support these guys?
Grrrrrr......I've tried my best to be kind today. Sorry to have just lost it. I can't stand this woman, though! I just find her speech affected (and she's from Chicago!) and feel she is probably one of the most self-absorbed people on the planet. Lit-rally (that's how she says it, 20 times a minute - so annoying).
