Henry Lascelles, 5th Earl of Harewood
Henry Ulrick Lascelles, 5th Earl of Harewood GCVO, DL (21 August 1846 – 6 October 1929) was a British peer and the son of Henry Lascelles, 4th Earl of Harewood.
As a child, he lived at Goldsborough Hall in Goldsborough, North Yorkshire, which was the house for the heirs-in-waiting for Harewood House. During his lifetime the Lascelles family were still major landholders in Barbados.
In early 1901 Lord Harewood was asked by King Edward to take part in a special diplomatic mission to announce the King´s accession to the governments of France, Spain, and Portugal.[1]
On October 29, 1881, he married Lady Florence Bridgeman, daughter of Orlando Bridgeman, 3rd Earl of Bradford, and they had three children:
- Henry George Charles Lascelles, 6th Earl of Harewood (1882–1947), married Princess Mary and had issue.
- Lady Margaret Selina Lascelles (1883–1978), married Gustavus Hamilton-Russell, 9th Viscount Boyne and had issue.
