In this episode, Julie Montagu, American Countess, sits down with Mrs Georgina Berkeley, who has lived at Berkeley Castle for over 50 years, and Daisy Berkeley, who—alongside her husband Charles Berkeley—helps manage the castle and its historic estate today.
Together, we explore the remarkable story of Berkeley Castle, one of the few great English castles to have remained in the same family for over 900 years. From the12th century to the present day, the Berkeley family, their archives, contents, estate, and even the town itself have evolved together—creating a rare and unbroken legacy.
We discuss how the challenges of maintaining such a historic estate in the 21st century, and the deep sense of stewardship and tradition that comes with living in a house so steeped in the past.
This is a story of resilience, family, and living history—all set within the walls of one of Britain’s most extraordinary castles.
