[quote=Anonymous]When the evolution of gossip and tabloids started to make wealthy and famous people value their privacy. When being "in service" stopped being a hard ceiling profession for life and with education people could do better. When aristocracy itself started to die out around the late 1800s early 1900s. See Edith Wharton novels like The Buccaneers. Instead of levying taxes, Aristocratic English families started to have to pay taxes. Scions and heirs no longer had the income to maintain their massive properties and had to infuse millions from American spouses. It's easier and more convenient just to contract group housekeeping once a week or whatever, landscaping etc. [/quote]
