See the trailer below:<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"03e932e6aceb4bf35607894df7cfcf3e\" style=\"position:relative;padding-top:56.25%\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Your First Look is Served | The Real Housewives of London | Streaming August 18\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_8qXthVbO6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The cast includes Bravo veteran Juliet Angus, alongside newcomers Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger. Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot <em>Ladies of London<\/em> and <em>The<\/em> <em>Real Housewives<\/em> mainstays Caroline Stanbury and Dorinda Medley among the bunch. Stanbury once starred opposite Angus on the short-lived but long-remembered <em>Ladies of London<\/em>, while Medley was a socialite in The Big Smoke prior to joining the cast of <em>The Real Housewives of New York <\/em>as a widow. <\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>A press release for the series teases that the cast will \u201cstep into the spotlight in an unforgettable season as they navigate life, legacy and loyalty.\u201d In grand <em>The Real Housewives<\/em> tradition, the cast can be seen holding teacups in their promo shots. Is that the first drink we\u2019ve seen in the title card since <em>The Real Housewives of Potomac<\/em> picked up those champagne flutes?<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The series will premiere on August 18 on Hayu; a stateside release date has not yet been announced. All the better, because it gives everyone ample time to catch up on its predecessor, <em>Ladies of London<\/em>, which is a true Bravo deep cut at this point. Premiering well over a decade ago, it followed the lives of London\u2019s upper crust socialites, some royalty among them, as they navigated an invasion of rich Americans into their social circles. It was deliciously catty, but also deeply human, offering a peak into the sad and miserable lives of the most privileged people in human history. <\/p>\n<p>The class dynamics between the new-money Americans and entrenched British royalty were a particular favorite of mine, thanks in part to Juliet Angus, who came in like a wrecking ball to every polo match and high tea she found herself forced to attend. My favorite of her many repeatable and endlessly relevant quips? &#8220;You&#8217;re choking because you&#8217;re so full of fucking bullshit right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"c3e83c1bb314f05ed90dbfc9de6b8c3e\" style=\"position:relative;padding-top:56.25%\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ladies of London: You&#039;re Choking Because You&#039;re So Full of Bullsh\u2014 (Season 3, Episode 11) | Bravo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hKMq3GSDHVc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The show sadely ended after its third season, when Stanbury jetted off to Dubai, where she\u2019d later assemble the short-lived <em>The Real Housewives of Dubai<\/em>. She was quite a bore on that show, so its nice to see her relegated to \u201cfriend of\u201d back in London. As for the others, they\u2019re total newcomers to me, but I will take tips on each of them in <em>PAPER\u2019s<\/em> Instagram DMs!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Hayu\/NBCUniversal<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was it Fergie said? \u201cI&#8217;m such a lady but I&#8217;m dancin&#8217; like a ho&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":379,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions\/379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/draplenvuxio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
