Big Ben, black cabs, and champagne flutes – the Real Housewives of London is finally here. The English capital is finally getting its long-awaited version of the iconic Housewives franchise, landing on streaming platform Hayu on 18 August.
One of the new Housewives joining the franchise is Juliet Mayhew – an Aussie-born gal dubbed ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ by those around her.
For Juliet, appearing on reality TV is written in the stars. Long before signing up for RHOL, Juliet was actually approached for 2014’s Ladies of London – a role she decided to turn down. She tells Grazia, ‘When Ladies of London was around, I was in conversation with them, but my children were too young. Now I’ve raised my children and they’ve got minds to think for themselves. They love their mother, they know I’m a big cheerleader and put them first in everything. My daughter came to me and said, “Mummy, you’ve got to do it for you.”‘

With the show now landing, here’s everything to know about Real Housewives of London star Juliet Mayhew – including her roots down under, her hedge fun husband, and her drama with a fellow housewife…
Who is Juliet Mayhew?
Juliet Mayhew is an 49-year-old actress-turned-event and lifestyle imaginator (her words), who is now joining the cast of Real Housewives of London.
Where is Juliet Mayhew from?
Juliet was born and raised in Queensland, Australia, to parents who both worked in the global medical sector and were human rights activists – something which saw Juliet spend much of her childhood travelling the world and witnessing things the average child simply wouldn’t. Starting at the age of just six, Juliet joined her parents working with war victims in Burma, street children in Bangkok, and supporting Tsunami victims.
At the age of 12, Juliet won a scholarship for her musical and artistic talents to attend a boarding school in England. It was this that led her to call the UK home. Currently, she lives in the UK, splitting her time between London and Cornwall.
What is Juliet Mayhew’s job?
Housewife is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Juliet. Buckle in…
Juliet was crowned Miss Galaxy Universe Newcomer for Europe in 2013, ran her own luxury leather goods company, is a professional interior designer, is an event planner, has won awards at the Chelsea Flower Show, and owns Juliet Mayhew Carpets, manufacturing bespoke bamboo silk and New Zealand lambswool carpets.
Crediting herself as having created a ‘Marie Antoinette Wonderland at Kensington Palace,’ her website reads, ‘Under the umbrella of her lifestyle company, Juliet produces events and imaginative concepts, such as weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, baby showers – any excuse for a party!’
She’s also worked in the entertainment industry as an actor, singer and dancer. She was a guest host for Fox TV, acting as the British Royal Correspondent, and has recorded two solo albums with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Heavily influenced by her parents, the Aussie-born star is huge on human rights and philanthropy – especially when it comes to campaigning against human-trafficking. She’s climbed Kilimanjaro as part of Climb 4 Freedom, a project created to help influence the UK Government to change the 2013 anti-trafficking bill.
Who is Juliet Mayhew’s husband?
Juliet is married to hedge fun manager Anthony ‘Tiggy’ Mayhew, who she shares two children with. Their daughter is heading to university, with their son having done his A Levels.
While Juliet’s daughter isn’t expected to appear on the show – ‘We’re very private at home, especially my daughter,’ Juliet tells Grazia – her husband and her son may well appear. Opening up about Tiggy’s support, Juliet shares, ‘My husband did marry me, he knows what he’s in for!’
Which Housewives does Juliet Mayhew know?
It turns out Juliet is very well connected. ‘I’ve got a lot of friends in the franchises,’ she tells Grazia. ‘[_Housewives of Dubai’_s] Caroline Stanbury is a good friend. I’m very close to Nicole O’Neill from Real Housewives of Sydney too. And who doesn’t love Beverly Hills?’
Does Juliet Mayhew have Instagram?
