Talk:George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood

Date of death
The Guardian says he died on 11 July. The Telegraph says he died "yesterday", i.e. 10 July. The BBC just says that he "has died". Opera hat (talk) 20:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The Telegraph says yesterday probably because the obituary will appear in the paper edition of the paper on Tuesday 12th. The Guardian specifically says 11th, the Bradford Telegraph & Argus reports Leeds Utd statement regretting the death on Monday of their former president. NtheP (talk) 21:49, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. Opera hat (talk) 23:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

What happened to Andrea Kershaw?
It reads as if Mark Lascelles married Judith Kilburn bigamously, since nothing is said about the ending of his marriage to Kershaw. --  Jack of Oz   [your turn]  00:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Lascelles derivation
The name more likely comes from "la selle" or "the saddle" as the family brought the horses for William the Conqueror (also completing the Norman connection). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.249.77.3 (talk) 20:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames says
 * ‘Lacelle (= the cell/hermitage)’ OF [Old French]; place in Orne.
 * More plausible than either saddle or armpit, if you ask me. —Tamfang (talk) 20:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Out of Wedlock Birth
Why is it necessary to emphasize the out-of-wedlock birth of Mark Hubert Lascelles, or to point out that he was not eligible to inherit his father's earldom? Even if Mark were born in wedlock, his elder half-brother would have succeeded anyway.John Paul Parks (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)


 * There have been plenty of cases in the aristocracy where a 3rd, 4th or 5th son have inherited a title. And this dealt with the succession to the throne as well, which gets traced out through hundreds of names. Consider that Queen Victoria was the daughter of the 4th son of George III, none of whom died before reaching marital age.  So it was within the realm of possibility that Mark might become the heir to earldom.  History Lunatic (talk) 21:18, 16 December 2016 (UTC)History Lunatic

Is being a member of the House of Lords really an office?
Hi, It seems a bit odd to me that the Earl's page uses the officeholder template with the office being a member of the House of Lords. I cannot find any examples of this on other pages, so have changed it to use the noble template. Feel free to discuss or revert back if there's disagreement on this. Thanks.

Non-sequitur
Lord Harewood devoted most of his career to opera with his Yorkshire heritage fostering his interest; in March 1949, as a young single man, he had been among the audience at the Leeds Town Hall for a performance of operatic works by the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.
 * Can’t see the link between his Yorkshire heritage and his interest in opera, let alone being young and single. Valetude (talk) 10:27, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Privy Council session
I will need to get a new subscription to a certain news magazine to document this, but I think deciding how to get the Queen's cousin remarried required an actual sit-down session of the Privy Council, something that doesn't happen most decades. J S Ayer (talk) 02:12, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
