Get to Know The Real Housewives of London

I recently sat down on a particularly boring Saturday afternoon and decided to watch the first season of The Real Housewives of London now that the entire season is streaming on Peacock.

Any apprehension I had that it would be drab and full of etiquette drama, like Ladies of London was this season, was washed away within the first twenty minutes of meeting the ladies. From the get go we had dental drama, a party to "celebrate women" that included a fight between women, and arguments over class and who borrowing dresses.

I was hooked from the start and grateful to be able to binge the entire season in an afternoon.

Now that I am officially obsessed and ready to see whats next, (and will be covering season 2 weekly) here is my take on each of the women.

1. 

   Nessie Welschinger

   Talk about a career pivot! Nessie went from managing global equities at Schroders to becoming one of London’s most sought-after luxury pastry chefs—even baking a cake for Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday! A London native through and through, Nessie brings analytical precision, razor-sharp wit, and sweet 'I'm Switzerland' vibe to the cast. We've seen this type before, and a mediator never lasts long, so I hope she starts to pick sides and live in her genuine self more.

2. 

   Panthea Parker

   Born in Iran and a staple of London’s elite social scene since the '90s, Panthea is Mayfair aristocracy personified. She commands respect, throws legendary dinner parties, and possesses a social network that reaches the highest corridors of power. Unbothered by others in general, Panthea brings serious gossip-forward drama, strong opinions and quick turnarounds with sharp-witted banter to the group. As long as she is the loudest person in the room and everyone falls in line, she is happy.

3. 

   Juliet Mayhew

   Australian-born, former Miss Galaxy Universe, actress, and now elite event designer, Juliet Mayhew is the woman London’s upper crust calls when they want to throw an unforgettable bash. She knows everyone, holds the keys to the most exclusive zip codes, and thrives in high-pressure social circles. While she knows how to construct the perfect evening, keeping the peace among five other opinionated Housewives might be her biggest challenge yet while pulling off amazing looks.

4. 

   Karen Loderick

   Switching gears from The Real Housewives of Jersey, Karen is officially bringing her Caribbean heat and high-fashion standard straight to London town. Born in Jamaica, this fashion entrepreneur and wife of former West Bromwich Albion chairman Peace isn't interested in playing second fiddle to anyone. She’s smooth, sophisticated, and fiercely loyal to those who earn it, but God help you if you step on her toes. Karen is the realest of all the women and is never afraid to speak her mind or settle drama quickly.

5. 

   Juliet Angus

   If you watched Ladies of London, you already know Juliet isn’t here to sit quietly with a cup of Earl Grey. This Chicago-born fashion publicist turned London mega-influencer has spent over a decade making West London her personal runway. She’s global, she’s loud, and she strictly curates her inner circle. Whether she’s serving high-fashion looks or dropping truth bombs in Mayfair, Juliet guarantees two things: flawless outfits and non-stop drama. Her American crass is a perfect fit for this group of cut-glass English broads and she is vicious with her takedowns.

6. 

   Amanda Cronin

   If you’re looking for high-level hypocrisies, manufactured glam, and a masterclass in backstabbing, look no further than Amanda. The former model turned Amanda Caroline Beauty owner acts like she’s aristocracy, but behind the heavily filtered façade and endless name-dropping is a walking double standard. She demands absolute loyalty from everyone around her while casually throwing her "friends" under the bus the second a camera turns on, and thrives in a world of delusion where she’s never wrong, the rules don't apply to her, and the truth is completely optional. No matter how hard she tries to bury them under designer rack pulls, her closet is practically bursting with skeletons, and it’s only a matter of time before they come spilling out.
