I'm Jane Foley and this is a special Sunday morning where in rainy London taking in the sights and looking to the wedding of Harry and Megan Markel this coming Saturday beginning here at Tower Bridge completed in 1894, a monument of Britain's Victorian age 2000 years and more of history help shape the world's view of Britain and its just how accurate are all those lingering images Mark Phillips has been looking into that as always you think you know what life is like to the upper reaches of British society these days as the Duke of Richmond to make a living as a Duke was the image of Britain once based on the crown owes as much these days to the crown TV show fast before you pop up Britain. It's not what you think coming up on Sunday morning is the biggest and most loyal fan of the British Royal family. Quite possibly the one Lee Cowan will be taking us to meet you for this Saturday's big Royal wedding with a question for self-proclaimed royalist Atkinson. This is the queen's wedding anniversary whose home is a shrine all things British.

So we think it is about Americans are so fascinated with the royal family.no capitals. She keeps everything I mean everything. The queen of loyal collectibles on Sunday will will have those stories and more.

When this special edition of Sunday morning continues London any as it was known in Roman times has for centuries, even millennia been at the historic heart of the world from castles to commerce to culture art, music, and more.

The sun has truly never sat on the British Empire this morning.

We go exploring Westminster Abbey home to carnations, royal weddings is one phase of Britain but there are many others with Mark Phillips.

We go in search of the real Britain it's easy to think you know what it's all about. It's about a small 92-year-old woman with a ready smile and a taste for big some of them really, it's about two young men, one of them. With the growing family. The other about to marry an American TV star.

And if you want TV. It's also about the crown show and it's about big houses like Downton Abbey with lords and ladies who pays good money and all the little people plus below stairs to serve all more or less 1 of the things that people come here to do thy top of the British social foodchain isn't what it used to be. Just ask Charles Gordon Lennox, also known as the 11th Duke of Richmond, the 11th Duke of Lenox, the 11th, Duke of opening the sick court.

All the titles in the world won't get you believe card to start a fast profit. It may still sometimes take the help of common folk to get the old 1934 AC roadster in the show on the road but a lot is changed around here when people have an image of life near the top of the social scale in Britain that tends to come from what they've seen on TV you see yourself in that tradition will progress is not can you make a living as a Duke these days well but you can try and boy do they try on the Duke's Goodwood estate sprawls over 12,000 lush acres of southern England places, but in the family for 321 year accounting with the Duke's family counts headings. The Lord calls off something drive revenue to cover that now by determining what used to be a playground for aristocrats into a kind of sporting Park with an aristocratic theme annual horserace meeting here. It is really the bottom line car racetrack has been refurbished to its former glory and is driven by the income it provides other income comes from the old World War II airfield. No private airport and that's not even to mention the golf courses. Charles I, or the old mansion and its jaw-dropping art collection that tells more than three centuries of family history part of the motivation for keeping a place like this go on both and Britain has changed and what used to be the top is also changed at what used to be the bottom or the difference between white working-class and Asian working-class is not one of the Chickadee, Florida, on the other is Asian or the only difference is your intent is ill yes like his family immigrated from Pakistan is now coming immediate who does a nice line and challenging what it means to be British today think that's a surprise to people who are from here that Britain isn't the way the thing. Perhaps think it is think about Americans than Britain's old 12 Music Television film I in this country we haven't been so good. I representing a wide ethnic diversity. As America has been the sexy lumberjack questions.

The stiff upper lip stuff not know the upstairs downstairs now gone. Yeah Britain is a lot like America just significantly smaller, Britain is becoming more like America. The numbers tell the story around 14% of the British population is now foreign-born. That's almost the identical percentage as the United States, the famous bagel bakery use.

The law says historian Simon Schama says immigration is not new. The East End of London, like the lower East side of New York has seen waves of immigration first century. The signs are South Asian now, but before that Jews Irish even French Huguenot Protestants fleeing persecution have come through here in the post-World War II era immigrants were recruited from the Caribbean to fill a labor shortage and lately they've come from Eastern Europe. Migrants from Poland now make up Britain's largest immigrant group very serious for us whether you actually think of Britain as permanently self portrayed as whites Little Rock across essentially a Britain kind of like fly traps in the above Downton Abbey. But that's not healthy for any society the future but but to do that.

It has to understand its past. We spoke to Simon Schama in what was once a synagogue, now part of the Museum of immigration and diversity were Susie Simes's atrocity is 100 been coming here for centuries Buckingham Palace as part of the British story are saying this little house and East End of London is just as much a part Buckingham Palace is just as much a home to migrant kings and queens everything he had. Understanding the past, dropping the myths and adapting to have a future lessons the 11th, Duke of Richmond has already learned. Prince Harry and Megan Markel true blue fans of the royal family are easy to spot. If you can rival the one Arley Callan discovered the English countryside.

It's pretty hard to minutes nestled in the rolling hills of County dear northeastern England rather conspicuous union. Jeff fluttering away as if a farmhouse below was Buckingham Palace itself, 61-year-old grandmother of three who, although not born royalty has become UK's Queen memorabilia every death.

She's a patriotic packrat craning her house that isn't home to a British bobble commemorative to jam the bookshelves or bedsheets or right enough to wake the dead, and there are enough collectible teacups paroled tea in China. Is it fair to say that this is pretty much an obsession for you.

Yes, top section is not all she thinks about you government job after all she's the editor of the local newspaper where Dale Gazette notice things that are stories on the Union Jack computer right next to her Union Jack telephone which is not surprisingly rings with God save the Queen. She didn't collectible herself much of it was given to him by complete strangers or heard of a royal passion and eventually the only place left to put it all was up in Anita's attic right thousand 3000 back from the 19 if you want I'll let pencil from the current ancient this one is that Bell's whiskey drinking no I don't think I'm silly enough without drinking meat is ever patient husband collection might one day come crashing right through the ceiling so he cleaned out old dairy barn so that she could make it all personal museum couldn't wait to show dots, but only after she changed into something more British.

I'm really really underdressed range thousand pieces of everything is anything you won't think about 19 7 cup and saucer from 1817 moralizing the death of Prince, a Sure Way, Bobby.

1953 correlation and a mug celebrating the last royal wedding one whopping mistake, and when he arrived from China that I will and can't and it's not. It's not the largest collection of Royal memorabilia, but it used to be leased.

According to records back in 2003, right next to the largest chamber pot connection just condom connection so everybody records is a little man. Word spread of this curiously British-born people started coming around to see you never intended to be public, but last year she opened her doors, even offering those who book ahead, afternoon tea, loyalty to the Royals extends much more than just catch 2011.

She camped out for four day outside Westminster Abbey to get a front row seat to that wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton years earlier.

She found herself event at St. James's Palace where, to her surprise she actually met the Queen Mother just struck me that both my grandfathers would call Linus and me got as a bus driver.

Here I am talking to the Queen Mother like never forget. One of the best days of your life takes a pretty major life event to keep Anita away from oil pump and circumstance. In 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana Anita missed instead she was home, expecting her first child, Ruth was due the very same day. Turns out Ruth may once again keep Anita from the Saturdays room waiting to see is now expected to have said to go to the room with all people to have missed because of me.instead will celebrate in her own way. Driving through the countryside and are ever so British. Many offering those in her wake her. Oh boy away Sunday morning in London and here again is Jane Pauley.

We dropped in on the church alarms Kensington serving clients since 1715. Winston Churchill's grandparents were regulars while driving the vanishing brain as Roxana summarily tells us outside Brian Perkins said yes but six years ago in the town Dotson news when you heard that the pub was going to close. What did you think was disappointed although she didn't think in my life open again with more pots across Britain last call. The Pope has been my take away from the last 10 years alone, 10,000 popes, no abuse of about 65,000 we get into point when 50 times. This is the Georgian the building right now was built in 1677, which is pretty impressive. Brown has written more than half a dozen books on pubs and dear says there's a lot at stake essential factor defines what being British is to some extent centuries place to mingle, but these days even take the kids British famous reserve when it comes to being sociable.

Everything about micro engineered to break down those social barriers to that I presided at her pub. The seven stars for 20 years, keeping is a nurturing and cooking and providing victuals drink people of good quality is greatly appreciated and regulars pubs are changing changing social habits. People generally really steep hikes in taxation at the smoking ban in 2007 to this brew and real estate public buildings are getting carved up into apartments that the pack was faced when a developer announces plans. It was was the metaphorical pitchfork rebellion posters went up around the area. Essentially try to be as loud as possible say this just can't happen.

And thanks to Don Moorhouse send others didn't. Here in England at the pump is declared an asset of community value trends are given time to bid on the property. We were given three months to write 1/2 million pounds and said Bob is so important to the community that actually bought it back really unique story we have now 450 shareholders raised 1/2 million plus pounds for the building. We have to raise another sum of money just to refurbish and reopen in March. Brian Perkins poured the 1st pint. We visited new owners and their receiving what he wanted to hear all is provided. Billing Hyde Park mixes very strong long.

Every spring in Scotland. Thoughts doors back to life. Another seasonal tuneup start that yes that Piper's hibernate to petition Edinburgh, the famous Castle will soon host hundreds of papers for the annual military bagpipe and killed instruments of war, dating back centuries. The kilt was used as a uniform and Piper's hunting cries routinely play troops into battle until after World War I, when more than 500 pipers were killed that unusual battle cry but Monroe says that intimidating sound comes from air compressed pipes today. Bagpipes appear everything from weddings and funerals to attribute like the red hot chili pipers in which Munroe plays appearance. I'm so surprised at how the public perception as an old man with a graybeards is very much changed Julia's unbelief when he's not playing the bagpipes rose, making blocks of rare Tanzanian black with our sheet then drilled the final step is carefully adding details by hand for assembling and testing bagpipe business has been booming, and Munroe traces it back to 95, when a movie by the name of Braveheart ignited interest in all things Scottish were talking and that's when kilt maker Robert Matheson says his business expanded to know there's still more traditional kilt is made using your going going today style is only slightly different from kilts used on ancient battlefields.

In those days it was one piece of cloth, a fairly big restructuring the waste and over the shoulder. The rich sleep kilt is really good tormentor sleeping bag if you like. Each kilts comes in 25 distinct tartans plats representing different clans. Today, thousands of patterns are produced in factories around Scotland demand comes from all over the world. Cool to really go what I was letting the bike.

Absolutely yeah nobody's become very cool. Why is it become so fashionable you think people are more conscious of little identity so interested kilts crop up on red carpets and runways think I got the legs for occult even on Sunday morning television you wear underwear or not.

If you're renting from a personal preference futures with everybody walking on the street and kilts. Why not good for business states and Britain are two countries by a common language, which prompts a few words from our faith sanely on the tanning around because my English students primer British English versus American English American pants are British girl, in which case pants on football football and soccer plantains aubergine dessert is putting not putting your drunk Lori this trunk and jump five leather chaps and ships are crisp this minium school is like school when they do map out the back from eight to involve unsuitable so your steak and Saturday leveling about how the Prince and their sentences with questions that nine times more often they gingerly got smacked down to great British to which we wouldn't have if we listen not stylish. You may think I found the cutoff but you still not heard for the superiority of the English UK words you use can social class in America. You might say pop so that an announcer from the Midwest land where they actually use the descriptors class and working class social hierarchy is decided in part by whether you think dinner or supper, dinner served pardon or sorry Middleton's mother reportedly said pardon in front of the queen. It made news negatively aren't crazy about words that make you sound like you're striving for ourselves and strivers with a melting pot of speech which makes us richer content so she is chairs keep calm and yammer on the West Dan Lundin's answer to Broadway performers called the city their hometown. Among them, Rachel. Nice now lives in New York where Tony Dick Coble caught up with Facebook. My life I've seen in some way doing likes his likes is that from Rachel vice is not exactly what you call an over share with her private life. There is a kind of electric fence put up to close your draft will my private life is not mysterious to me. I know exactly what it is pretty ordinary. In fact, while I brought plenty of questions for the 48-year-old Academy award-winning actor. I had to have answers to acting as if it's a kindness escapism from the business of anthropology so you ask people questions are you curious.

I really like. I would love to see you and every time we took a break boy did she ever went out jail now but these days there's no hiding for this transplanted English road. My other favorite nickname for you. The thinking man say that child with husband Daniel Craig a.k.a. James Bond and she's also the star of an acclaimed new film disobedience sex every Friday expected to trade about intimacy between two women in London's Orthodox Jewish community.

Not far from where vice, so that very private communities, so I never spoke to them and they would interested in speaking to me is a great mystery around that well you like mystery, it seems like mysteries that you like me and speaking of ministry.

Vice has one scene in particular with costar Rachel McAdams unlike any she's film before.

How was the lovemaking scene different or the same from your experience of teens similar sort. Was it different making a scene with another woman that would been with a man. It was much less stubbornly with the woman much softer. That would be the fastest thing of night tool to be emotional was romantic and spiritual. It was passionate was full of hot longing. It wasn't just wasn't just sax.

It was something much more powerful the title. Disobedience is from the novel that inspired the vice also produced, but disobedience might as well be the headline over her own life as a self-described outsider who was expelled from her private high school. My mother always used to say you us to leave British why we just leave. I was very disobedient. I had authority issues. I guess you say I didn't understand why teaches the right to display me. You tell me what to do. Still, she excelled academically.

Landing at Cambridge University, where vice, skip the classics and instead launched an avant-garde performance group. The talking tongues. That's her on the right launched a career that has swung from B-movie glory to a list drama when it was the United Nations and decided to take Iraq the occasional role as the girl who gets the guy to me. That just seemed really like Canadian concept. Now she says marriage suits are times however my husband is which is a really lovely thing we can make this advice to stop forging own path. Jaywalking is not what really feels across with her own production company LC six she's the one in charge time. See the space is really fancy and I got a blazer. I like to railing and she plans to focus on more stories told from a clear female point of view different thing alone that I will never know on mystery you're now woman wearing these two hats acting like it will be 1/3 are we going to see writing never say never going to have to keep that very moment, but you never know, like, I'm Jane Pauling.
