Why subscribe?

A Wellington Life is a royally-inspired letter from the English countryside, blending homemaking, motherhood, seasonal food, and the soft magic of everyday rituals. Written by an American mum raising two boys in an 18th-century English cottage, this newsletter captures the charm of a slower life; one with muddy boots at the back door, handwritten recipes on the counter, and a touch of duchess daydreams.

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Paid subscribers receive bonus essays, weekly meal plans rooted in seasonal British produce, quarterly food guides, printable recipes, heritage house features, and more royal-ish extras.
