1
This isn't me.
2
Hello guys, good to see you.
3
This is Prince Maximilian, the Earl of Luton and 52nd in line to the British throne.
4
The Earl of Luton, member of the British royal family.
5
Oh my god, yay!
6
He is currently being mobbed on the streets of Hollywood Boulevard.
7
You see, those of you who have been following the channel for a
8
while will know that I technically became a member of the British royal family.
9
Congratulations.
10
So I've decided to follow in the footsteps of some of my famous family members.
11
The Duke of Sussex, please welcome to the late show, Prince Harry.
12
Earl of Luton is heading to Hollywood.
13
Are we ready to rock and roll?
14
This is the story of how I caught the attention of Hollywood paparazzi.
15
TNG wants the Isle of Luton, maybe?
16
Toured the hottest spots in Tinseltown.
17
I swear you can't make your somebody, apparently.
18
And in doing so, scored myself an invite to one of the most exclusive events in the influencer calendar.
19
Nice to meet you, Your Majesty.
20
Nice to meet you.
21
How are you doing?
22
This video is sponsored by Shopify.
23
Okay, Earl of Luton is in LA.
24
That's right my loyal subjects.
25
I followed in the footsteps of my fellow regal cousins and come to Tinseltown.
26
And this time, I'm making a movie.
27
The plan was to hit the streets of LA with a documentary film crew
28
and see how much adoration and free stuff I could blag.
29
It seems like the first thing that they've decided to do is to get a big documentary deal.
30
This is a real person, the real royal.
31
I don't know a single person who has watched the Royal documentary.
32
So you don't actually really need to make the documentary.
33
People just need to think.
34
you're making the documentary.
35
So that is what I'm doing today.
36
Hey, Steve!
37
After a quick ironing costume change, I was transformed into the Earl of Luton.
38
And to really look the part, I would need not only a professional crew, but like all the rich and famous...
39
Hello, boys!
40
...some bodyguards as well.
41
I mean, we looked the part, to be fair.
42
We'll get some Tories.
43
Can I take a picture?
44
They're gonna treat you like royalty.
45
If anyone asks, just say, "member of the British Royal Family." There you go.
46
We piled into the car, and the excitement was palpable.
47
First off on our tour of LA, Griffith Observatory.
48
And despite making quite a show, it seemed that not everyone recognized the Earl.
49
Good to see you.
50
You well?
51
Good man.
52
Hello guys, good to see you.
53
Are you well?
54
Good, good stuff.
55
Turns out that even with a bona fide British royal, complete with security and cameras in their midst, the people of Griffith Observatory couldn't care less.
56
Time for a change of location.
57
Next up was a spot of shopping on Rodeo Drive, haunt of the LA socialite.
58
But far from the five star experience the Earl is used to, I was, dare I say it,
59
being treated "Like a normal person." I was going to need a better plan and a better location.
60
And that location was the famous Hollywood Boulevard.
61
Where thousands of tourists gather every day hoping to catch a glimpse of the rich and famous.
62
And to really cause a scene, I would need a secret weapon.
63
Because we all know all really great documentaries have an equally great interviewer.
64
A calm, poised opponent to the subject being studied, someone to bring an air of legitimacy, and serious to the project.
65
Ah.
66
We're in a bouncy place.
67
Your Majesty.
68
The Oprah of YouTube and friend of the channel, Preston Goes.
69
So you are interviewing me?
70
Jack.
71
Earl of Luton's in LA.
72
Jack.
73
He's making a documentary.
74
That's what all royal family members do. Of course.
75
Are we ready to rock and roll?
76
It was time to hit the strip and meet my adoring subjects.
77
Hello guys, how we doing?
78
Nice to see you.
79
And fingers crossed, this time with Preston asking me questions, we'd hopefully turn some heads and people would recognise me as true Hollywood royalty.
80
So as a part of this, the royal family.
81
What does it feel like being around commoners?
82
And now for the most sacred of the royal traditions, shaking hands with the great unwashed.
83
Hello guys, how are you doing?
84
Nice to meet you.
85
Earl of Luton, how are you doing?
86
Are you doing LA?
87
Is that a other than called Andrew?
88
And it turned out that the missing piece of the puzzle...
89
How are you doing sir?
90
Nice to see you.
91
My name is Earl of Luton, good to see you.
92
...was an American called Preston just pointing at me and yelling.
93
Royal family, part of the royal family.
94
Hello guys, are you well?
95
And the Earl was meeting citizens from all over.
96
Where are you from?
97
She said Mexico.
98
Mexico.
99
There isn't, I don't think there's a Mexico in London but good to see you.
100
Have you been to the UK?
101
No, never.
102
I want to go to London.
103
Okay, well mummy can put you up in her big castle if you'd like.
104
That would be good.
105
Yeah of course.
106
I barely had time to answer any interview questions at all.
107
Is there a group chat for the royal family?
108
Yeah.
109
Hello, good to see you.
110
Before being pulled away by another adoring fan.
111
Have you been to the UK?
112
No, you must come.
113
Mummy's a fantastic cook.
114
Earl of Luton.
115
Earl of Luton.
116
Earl of Luton.
117
Earl of Luton.
118
Yes indeed, yes.
119
Within minutes, a photo with the Earl of Luton was the hottest ticket on the Hollywood Boulevard.
120
Can you get it?
121
Have you been to the UK?
122
Yes.
123
And the Earl was being mobbed.
124
Good to see you.
125
I'm very well.
126
Oh, crikey.
127
That was not rehearsed.
128
But as time went on, things started to get slightly out of hand.
129
Earl of Luton, fantastic.
130
I'm from Britain.
131
Can you hear me, Earl?
132
Of course you can.
133
Let's do it.
134
And a chance for a photo with a real -life royal was too much to pass up for the people of Hollywood.
135
Oh, Toronto, wonderful.
136
The Earl of Luton, member of the British Royal Family.
137
Oh my god.
138
Yeah, yeah.
139
God bless them.
140
This is the weirdest day I've had in a really long time.
141
The crowd of well -wishers was growing and it was about time to make my getaway.
142
But in Hollywood, there's no escape from an international celebrity.
143
And before we could pile into our blacked -out SUV, we ran into a TMZ bus full of star -hungry tourists.
144
Hello guys, nice to see you from Long Beach.
145
Thank you so much.
146
Where are you going?
147
Where are you coming?
148
We're here doing a documentary here in the US.
149
You guys are amazing.
150
Bravo!
151
arrived.
152
CMZ wants the Isle of Bluton baby!
153
Now that I'm a serious prince, I need a serious website to reflect that I'm a serious member of the British royal family, I could probably do that with Shopify,
154
the sponsor of today's video.
155
You see, I actually run my online store, thesillycompany .co .uk, using Shopify, but silliness just isn't going to cut it out here in Tinseltown.
156
So I need something a bit more refined, more regal.
157
So, it's time for a rebrand.
158
The Silly serious company.
159
And this is where Shopify comes in because I was able to turn a silly idea into a real, functioning business.
160
It lets you sell your products everywhere.
161
Website, your social media, the shop, app, YouTube, it handles it all.
162
Now, watch this.
163
Bright colours?
164
Nah.
165
Gone.
166
Changed into something much more regal.
167
Refined.
168
Smiley faces?
169
Let's make them more serious.
170
Fits for a prince.
171
The product descriptions?
172
This is where Sidekick comes in.
173
Sidekick is basically your colleague
174
and I asked it to rewrite everything on my site to make it sound a little bit more regal.
175
So my unemployed friend on Tuesday caps, they're now official regal commemorative headwear.
176
Same year over, completely reborn in minutes.
177
Silly company's dead.
178
Long live the serious company.
179
Start your own store right now by going to shopify .com /maxfosh.
180
With my royal civic duties complete, I headed back to my hotel to plan the Earl's next move.
181
Turns out Hollywood loves the Earl of Luton.
182
How could they not?
183
I'm an absolute delight.
184
Initially my plan for the Earl of Luton was to come to LA, make a buzz on the strip, and then try and get myself into a Hollywood after -party.
185
A nightclub, if you will.
186
not going to be possible because nobody is in LA currently because everybody is in Coachella.
187
Apparently it starts tomorrow.
188
Are you going to Coachella?
189
Is that the place to go?
190
Are you going to go to Coachella?
191
I hadn't thought about it but should I?
192
So everyone has left LA.
193
I'm going to have to slightly pivot my plan and I'm going to try and get the Earl of Luton into Coachella.
194
The thing is about Coachella is that I think I personally would hate it.
195
But the Earl of Luton would bloody love it.
196
There is a big issue with this however, I don't have a ticket and it's one of the hottest tickets in town.
197
You basically just need to be a really big influencer -y name in order to get one.
198
This is the new plan.
199
I'm going to create an Instagram profile for the Earl of Luton.
200
Ad name Maximilian Luton.
201
He's going to follow nobody.
202
I need to populate this Instagram with pictures of me looking like a member of the royal family.
203
Posh.
204
Island holiday dot dot dot.
205
Not that island.
206
Got the account?
207
Sort of.
208
Buy loads of followers, make it look really legit, and then see if I can ping out loads of DMs to try and get the Earl of Luton a ticket,
209
because I want to see the Earl of Luton a ticket, and I'm sure you do.
210
So, with my new target in sight, I spent the rest of the day messaging anyone I could think of.
211
Agents, PR companies, influencers.
212
The Earl was signed up for 23 wait lists. were enough.
213
Because a certain brand, who because of how long I've been doing this, I'm wise enough not to mention my name, eventually reached out and offered the Earl of Luton,
214
who doesn't exist, with 10 ,000 more followers, an artist passed to Coachella.
215
All I had to do was send my personal assistant to pick it up.
216
The Earl of Luton is going to Coachella, baby!
217
Who would have thought a bit of DMing with an Instagram account that says you're the Earl of Luton?
218
Dust the trich.
219
I am currently driving the three hours out of LA to Coachella to go and pick up the Earl of Luton's ticket.
220
It's like a VIP ticket as well.
221
It's pretty bougie.
222
But unfortunately, the ticket didn't come with a place to stay.
223
Not really.
224
I had a look at Airbnbs and this is how much they cost, this is how much they cost, and this is how much they cost for a company.
225
Pretty expensive.
226
I don't really know what I'm going to do.
227
Thankfully I'd met a man in Vegas called Rob who mentioned he was going to Coachella.
228
He went to Coachella?
229
And he might just be the answer to my prayers.
230
After reaching out and asking for a room to stay, Rob came to the rescue. and into place.
231
So after arriving and sending my personal assistant to collect my ticket, I met my knight in shining armour, Rob.
232
And I was very eager to settle into my room, unpack and have a nice hot shower.
233
Okay.
234
On second thoughts.
235
Is this mine?
236
This is yours, yeah.
237
Fit for a king.
238
It is fit for an, well, fit for an Earl.
239
Yeah.
240
I guess beggars can't be cheesers.
241
to the Royal Suite, it was time to get into character.
242
Hi guys, get ready with the Earl of Luton, get ready for Coachella, it's Big Hall.
243
This is my Airbnb.
244
Thank you so much for Daddy for sponsoring me on this particular one.
245
With the royal blood coursing through my veins...
246
I've got the cufflinks on.
247
Cufflinks in Coachella.
248
Could be the move.
249
The Earl of Luton was ready to conquer Coachella.
250
The Earl of Luton's hit Coachella, baby.
251
Armed with my Arcus Pass, I had access to all the VVIP spots.
252
But he was here, and he was here to party.
253
The Earl of Luton had a wild weekend, jiving to the finest musical artists.
254
The Earl of Luton loves the marina carpenter, that's the girl.
255
Meeting his loyal subjects.
256
You've been a talk on the Earl of Luton, you look amazing.
257
It looks brilliant.
258
What's crazy, it's inside out.
259
What's on the other side?
260
It's two cowboys touching.
261
F*.
262
Great.
263
We had bangers of mash, fish and chips.
264
just living his best life.
265
So, the moral of the story: it doesn't matter what family you're born into.
266
It just matters how much you're prepared to lie.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
