George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood from 0 to 88 years old

George Henry Hubert Lascelles (February 7, 1923 - July 11, 2011) was a British classical music administrator and author, and a member of the British Royal Family, as the elder son of Mary, Princess Royal, a grandson of King George V and Queen Mary, and thus a first-cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. He served as director of the Royal Opera House, chairman of the board of the English National Opera; managing director of the ENO, managing director of the English National Opera North, governor of the BBC, and president of the British Board of Film Classification. Born in London, he was the elder son of Henry, Viscount Lascelles, and Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles, and first grandchild of King George V and Queen Mary, who stood as sponsors at his christening. At his birth, he was sixth in the line of succession; at his death, he was 46th. He styled The Honourable George Lascelles before 1929 and Viscount Lascelles between 1929 and 1947, before succeed his father as the 7th Earl of Harewood. Lord Harewood married Marion Stein, a concert pianist, in 1949, and the couple had three sons: David (who succeeded to the Earldom of Harewood on the death of his father in 2011), James, and Robert. The earl's marriage to Marion Stein ended in divorce in 1967, after the earl's mistress, Patricia Tuckwell – an Australian violinist – gave birth to his son Mark. The couple married in 1967. Lord Harewood was a music enthusiast, devoted most of his career to opera with his Yorkshire heritage fostering his interest. He served as editor of Opera magazine from 1950 to 1953, and was director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden from 1951 to 1953 and again from 1969 to 1972. He was the author or editor of three books, Kobbé's Complete Opera Book, The Tongs and the Bones, and Kobbé's Illustrated Opera Book.
