  • George Henry Hubert Lascelles, 7. Earl of Harewood KBE (* 7. Februar 1923) ist der älteste Sohn von Henry Lascelles, 6. Earl of Harewood und Maria Viktoria, der einzigen Tochter von König Georg V. und Königin Mary. Er ist deshalb ein Cousin von Königin Elizabeth II.. Zurzeit steht er an 41. Stelle der Thronfolge. Lascelles wurde am 7. Februar 1923 in Harewood House, Yorkshire, dem Stammsitz der Earls of Harewood, geboren. Bei der Krönung seines Onkels Georg VI. im Mai 1937 war er Ehrenpage. Er besuchte das Eton College und das King's College in Cambridge. Nach Abschluss seiner Ausbildung wurde er Offizier bei den Grenadier Guards. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg erreichte er den Rang eines Hauptmannes; er kämpfte in Italien und wurde im Jahre 1944 von den Deutschen gefangen genommen, die ihn als prominenten Gefangenen im Schloss Colditz festhielten. Nach dem Krieg diente er seinem Onkel, dem Earl of Athlone, der zu dieser Zeit Generalgouverneur von Kanada war, als Adjutant. Gleichzeitig war er bis 1956 Staatsrat, ein Amt, das außer ihm bisher nur königliche Prinzen und Prinzessinnen oder Ehegatten von Monarchen innehatten. 1947 wurde Lascelles nach dem Tode seines Vaters Earl of Harewood. In der Folgezeit hat der Earl of Harewood Karriere im Bereich der Oper gemacht. Er war unter anderem zweimal Direktor des Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, sowie mehr als zehn Jahre Direktor des zweiten großen Londoner Opernhauses, der English National Opera. Von 1985 bis 1987 war er Mitglied des BBC Board of Governors. Gleichzeitig war er bis 1996 Präsident des British Board of Film Classification. Neben einer Autobiographie hat Lascelles zwei Opernführer geschrieben. Seine zweite große Leidenschaft ist Fußball. Von 1963 bis 1972 war er Präsident der englischen Football Association, seit 1983 ist er Präsident von Leeds United. Außerdem war er zeitweise Kanzler der Universität York. Von 1949 bis 1967 war er mit der berühmten österreichischen Opernsängerin Marion Stein verheiratet; die Scheidung galt zu der Zeit als Skandal. Aus der Ehe entstammen drei Kinder: David, Viscount Lascelles, The Honourable James Lascelles, The Honourable Jeremy Lascelles . Noch im Jahr 1967 heirate Lascelles die australische Violinistin Patricia Tuckwell, die Schwester des berühmten Hornisten Barry Tuckwell. Der 1964 (5. Juli) geborene Sohn Mark Hubert Lascelles stammt aus dieser Beziehung. Dieser steht allerdings weder in der Thronfolge, noch kann er den Earlswürde erben, weil er unehelich geboren ist; auch die nachträgliche Heirat seiner Eltern ändert hieran nichts. In der Sunday Times Rich List 2005, in der die 1000 reichsten Personen oder Familien aufgeführt sind, die im Vereinigten Königreich leben, rangiert die Familie Lascelles mit einem Vermögen von 148 Million Pfund an 270. Stelle. (de)
