(Only one butler appears in the episodes I watched, and it’s noted that he’s doing the job a staff of 10 would have done back in the house’s heyday.) Montagu, a mother of four, emphasizes the challenges of making a family home within a national treasure, and the creative ways owners keep their estates running.

Bezos and his generation of billionaires are such sick bloodless fucks, I bet they don't even want a castle. They'd rather boof Soylent in an empty Apple Store or something.
