‘The Real Housewives of London’ Cast: Who’s Starring in Glitzy Brit-Bound Installment?

The Real Housewives of London, Hayu‘s first ever original series, has unveiled a glitzy new cast.

The recently announced show from Universal Television Alternative Studio U.K. Productions (best known for west London reality series Made in Chelsea) is set to premiere later this year with six fresh faces ready to spill some piping hot tea (English breakfast, of course).

It includes a Chicago lifestyle blogger, a cake company boss and a former Miss Galaxy Universe. These socialites are slated to showcase the luxury of living in one of the richest cities in the world, but who are they really, and what might they bring to the wine-topped table?

Below, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a who’s-who guide for the 30th installment of the wildly popular franchise. “Whether hosting lavish dinners, escaping to a Scottish castle or rebuilding bongs over bottles of champagne,” Hayu said, “they’re all navigating life, legacy, and loyalty.”

Karen Loderick-Peace

You might recognize Karen Loderick-Peace from her starring role on The Real Housewives of Jersey — so, you know she’s well-equipped to deal with drama.

Originally from Jamaica, Loderick-Peace moved to the U.K. in her twenties to study at the London College of Fashion before marrying Jeremy Peace, the ex-chair of British soccer club West Bromwich Albion. She was regularly snapped WAG-ing out in the luxe boxes at The Hawthorns stadium in England’s West Midlands, and the couple share three children. They split their time between London, Jersey and Barbados, where they own properties.

The socialite, now a fashion designer, will no doubt be serving on the upcoming series. “We are here to entertain you all for the long run,” she said on her Instagram after the cast news dropped, “and we keep it real. To know is to know, it’s not a question.”

Nessie Welschinger

There’s rubbing shoulders with A-listers and there’s rubbing shoulders with royalty, and Nessie Welschinger does the latter. The London-born, Singaporean-Egyptian business owner was once the global head of equity at British asset management company Schroders, but gave up a career in finance to launch the now industry-recognized Chelsea Cake Company, whose clientele includes the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Welschinger is also no stranger to reality television. She appeared on The Great British Bake Off: The Professionals to showcase her natural patisserie talents. She shares her Chelsea family home as well as a 500-year-old estate in the English countryside with her husband, Remy, and their three children.

There’s one guarantee with Welschinger: she’ll be cooking, figuratively and literally, on The Real Housewives. “London’s about to lose its stiff upper lip,” she said about the show.

Amanda Cronin

There’s not a wrinkle in sight when it comes to Amanda Cronin — the entrepreneur is the founder of the Amanda Caroline Beauty skincare brand. She runs The Secret Door, an aesthetics and wellness clinic nestled in one of the most exclusive areas of London, Belgravia.

She’s claimed to have “the longest legs in Belgravia” and most recently caught tabloid attention for dating Wham! musician Andrew Ridgeley between 2022 and 2023, later revealing that the singer is not exactly “relationship material”. “I’m quite traditional, a sweet, country girl,” she said. “When the next Mr Right comes along, he will have the same set of values that I have.”

Cronin is a jet-setting friend of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks and The Real Housewives of New York City‘s Dorinda Medley. The skincare expert is also supposedly close with — no biggie — Jennifer Lopez. “My secret is out !!” Cronin said in a recent Instagram post. “I’m a Housewife!! Hold on tight!! It’s going to be sassy, funny, feisty, but always classy.”

Juliet Mayhew

Miss Galaxy Universe 2013 Juliet Mayhew moved to the U.K. from Australia aged 12 — winning a scholarship for her musical talents — and now lives in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in London with her husband and two children.

A former actress and creative producer, Mayhew is a devoted philanthropist after spending time travelling with her parents, both human rights activists, as a child. Her work is mostly done under the very large umbrella of her lifestyle company which dabbles in events (including a Marie Antoinette-inspired bash at Kensington Palace), interior design and business. She ran her own luxury leather goods company and was nominated for Young Designer of the Year in 2005.

A jack of all trades, Mayhew is taking no prisoners on the Hayu series, it seems. “The Real Housewives of London may ruffle a few linen napkins, but some of us still remember how to stay a lady,” she wrote on social media. “Though you can always spot the ones who weren’t well bred — their tiaras never sit quite straight. So hold onto your teacups — things are about to get frightfully entertaining.”

Panthea Parker

Another friend of J-Lo’s, funnily enough, is the Iranian-born Panthea Parker. Now based in north London, Parker has been a regular on the exclusive Mayfair scene since the ’90s, securing invites to Buckingham Palace garden parties and more recently, 10 Downing Street, where prime minister Keir Starmer lives.

Her husband is Ed Parker, a top lawyer for the some of the wealthiest people in the city. His wife’s Instagram feed certainly showcases the crème de la crème of London high society with snaps boasting A-lister run-ins, extravagant galas and private jet trips across the world.

“Time reveals everything,” Parker said on Instagram about The Real Housewives of London, “especially the fakes. Gowns on. Gloves off.”

Juliet Angus

Chicago native Juliet Angus is another housewife-adjacent star, previously appearing on Bravo series Ladies of London with Caroline Stanbury (who avid fans will know from The Real Housewives of Dubai).

The celebrity stylist, now a social media influencer and global brand partner among other professions, started out as a fashion publicist before she made the leap across the pond. Her website calls her the London stylist, so she’s no doubt considered an authoritative voice when it comes to all things fashion.

“Living and working in L.A. and N.Y.C. has meant that her inner circle is decidedly A-list, for Juliet, clinking glasses with the Hollywood elite is just a regular Friday night,” her bio on the online brand JulietAngus.com reads. “Since its launch, [the site] has garnered significant industry buzz both here in the U.K., in her native U.S. and abroad.” Despite the career success, Angus cites being a mother as her favorite job and lives with husband Gregor and their two children in London.
