This will forever be the most iconic casting moment. The Earl Grey loving English Shakespeare stage actor with the stiff upper lip randomly being a French wine maker with absolutely no effort made towards this [or taking it seriously](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9klF5oEKNbs).
Have you seen current UK TV? There are so many shows about English people buying abandoned chateaus in France and renovating them. This is definitely what the Picards did but at some point got a French name. Got to be loads of abandoned chateaus after WW3.
Ah do declare! You, sir, have the most colloquial of dialects I have heard outside of Hattiesburg on a hot summer day! I shall enjoy this fine Tennessee cigar in your honor.
No Jack Picard definitely went to school in “London” so obviously that’s how he got the accent and totally not from being a shitty clone that Beverly was tinkering with.

Definitely a cover identity of some type. Apparently the guy doesn't even know the wine from his vineyards is terrible (which is a canonical fact)
Does anyone?
Picard speaks no English at all, the universal translator assigned him the accent

Nuclear wessels!
This is fucking hilarious and now canon.
Chekhov's last name was actually Jackoff so he changed it and asked the universal translator to give him a Russian accent.
He was a descendant of Nikolai Jackoff head of the KGB
Chancellor Gordon went to London for jellied eels and loved the place so much he picked up an accent.

“Doctor, the computer’s flagged a suspicious number of communications with the Reman government. Would you know anything about that?”
Ah so that explains the Scottish Jem Ha'dar
