Default navigation voice guidance - can the accent be changed in the XE?

I have a USA market 2017 XE but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to change the navigation guidance voice from female American to female British accent. I tried by selecting "Settings" --> "System" --> "Languages" and selected "English-UK". A dialog box came up saying that "voice recognition is not available for the language you have chosen." I set the Navigation to take me to a recent destination and hit "OK" to see if the voice guidance was different. However, no voice guidance came on. I went into the Navigation Settings, and Voice Guidance was checked but greyed out. Did I miss something?

there is a way to do it, but you will likely not be able to get it done here in the states...I'm partial to the cockney accent myself...if there was a way to get THAT I would literally ship my car to England to have it done...hahahahaha
