The Real Housewives of London has been renewed for a second season, but it continues to struggle with a major flaw – nobody who’s actually rich in London wants to do it, writes Anna Moloney
News that The Real Housewives of London has been renewed for a second season is cause to rejoice. With postcode shaming, Chelsea flower show grandstanding and digs like “you know they don’t actually own that castle”, season one gave London the Housewife treatment it has long deserved.
After all, beginning in 2006, the franchise has taken almost 20 years to reach The Big Smoke, with an astonishing 31 other cities having been spotlighted before London, which many may have assumed would have been a natural hub to showcase glittering wealth.
Why did it take so long? The British stiff upper lip, of course.........
