Juliet Mayhew is Bringing a Splash of Class to ‘The Real Housewives of London’

When The Real Housewives of London finally sashays onto screens, expect more than catty quips and couture. Juliet Mayhew—Aussie-born philanthropist, designer, and all-around Renaissance woman—just traded her Mayfair events calendar for full-time reality TV chaos, and she isn’t tiptoeing in. “I think in life you just gotta take a risk…you’re never gonna know,” Mayhew tells longtime friend Caroline Stanbury on Uncut & Uncensored.

The reunion veteran turns rookie once more

Stanbury opens the chat with old friend energy, but the flashback stroll down Ladies of London memory lane quickly detours into Mayhew’s baptism-by-fire. Stanbury warns that The Real Housewives of London isn’t for the faint-hearted. “Housewives is a different kettle of fish,” Stanbury cautions her friend.

Mayhew nods and raises the stakes. “We are London,” she explains “We can’t, like, warm our way up like the original Ladies of London.” No slow burn here—Season One is expected to ignite instantly. Stanbury fuels the hype, saying, “You are having an initiation by fire.”

Competition so fierce that it feels like a Nat Geo doc

Forget polite tea service; Mayhew compares filming to a wildlife documentary gone wrong. “There’s five killer animals in a pen. You enter and they haven’t been fed for a month,” she says. Yet, she’s undeterred, crediting boarding school grit and a globe-trotting childhood for her thick skin.

Stanbury admits that the format turns friendships into a form of combat. “Everyone’s in it to win it in a way,” she demurs. Still, alliances can flip overnight—last season’s foe may morph into next season’s ride-or-die. Mayhew’s strategy? Keep humor high and grudges low.

Hustle culture, but make it haute

Off camera, Mayhew already spins enough side hustles to impress any Gen Z multi-hyphenate. She designs bespoke carpets, runs a luxury leather business, boasts West End credits, and somehow finds time for humanitarian missions in Sierra Leone and Kensington Palace soirées. For her part, though, she salutes the grind. “Give a busy woman something to do, they get it done,” she quips like a true doyenne of #HustleCulture. 

Stanbury—who juggles nine businesses herself—recognizes a kindred spirit. “I am happy and proud to be a hustler. I hustle every day,” she says. That entrepreneurial energy is pure Real Housewives gold; expect plenty of power-lunch scenes and board-room bombshells amid Buckingham adjacent backdrops.

Beauty standards on reality TV

The London cast may be savage, but their skincare routines are even more intense. When Stanbury gushes over her post-facelift glow, she quizzes Mayhew on camera-ready secrets. Juliet Mayhew keeps it real: “We are really healthy in what we eat.” Weekly facials, polynucleotide injections, and a just-enough-tweak philosophy round out her regimen—proof that class can coexist with a little collagen.

Still, Mayhew won’t sweat the stray HD close-up. “It is what it is,” she sighs. “I just have to get on with it.” 

Risk, reward, and reality TV redemption

Mayhew’s résumé already reads like a passport—Miss Galaxy Universe champion, West End star, luxury leather CEO, Kilimanjaro climber, anti-trafficking activist. Reality TV is merely the next mountain. As she reminds Stanbury, “You never can find out life if you don’t try.”

That fearless spirit mirrors the franchise’s appeal: women who bet big on themselves, even when the stakes include public opinion—and a dinner-party takedown filmed in 4K. With a philanthropic backbone and an Aussie-British twang, Mayhew promises fresh flavor for The Real Housewives of London palette. As she teases, “I’m excited to bring a little bit of my Aussie personality into it.”

Why viewers should sip this London tea

Between Stanbury’s seasoned advice and Mayhew’s rookie-with-receipts elan, the London iteration of the popular reality show is gearing up to be the most cosmopolitan Housewives launch yet. Expect posh postcode rivalries, globe-spanning charities, and fashion moments that vault from Bond Street to Bali. Set your reminder and get ready for your group chat. When The Real Housewives of London premieres later this year, Juliet Mayhew won’t just bring drama—she’ll bring depth, hustle, and a welcome splash of class.
