Julie Montagu, an American who became Viscountess Hinchingbrooke when she married into British aristocracy, isn’t surprised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took a "step back" as senior royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently residing in Markle’s native Los Angeles with their son Archie, 1. Montagu is married to Luke Timothy Charles Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke and son of the 11th Earl of Sandwich.The mother of four is currently starring in Smithsonian Channel’s “An American Aristocrat’s Guide to Great Estates,” where the Illinois native tours some of the U.K.’s most important and historic homes.
And when she’s not on camera, the 46-year-old is helping her husband run the family estate in Dorset -- 16th-century Mapperton.
