I don't know anything about their weddings, but I thought they were cousins, not brothers.

You are right. They are cousins

Martin is the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Collingwood and Gerald Lascelles (son of Henry George Charles Lascelles and Mary Windsor). Because he is illegitimate he is not entitled to be the Hon. Martin David Lascelles. He was born Martin Colvin, his name was legally changed to Lascelles in 1978

James is the 2nd son of George Lacelles, 7th Earl of Harewood (son of Henry George Charles Lascelles (Viscount) and the Princess Royal, Mary Windsor) and his mother is Countess Marion Donata Stein. Because he is legitimate he is the Hon James Edward Lascelles.

Angela Lascelles, the first wife of the Hon Gerald Lascelles, 2nd son of Mary, Princess Royal, died on February 28 at the age of 87.

The London Telegraph obituary

" The wedding in July 1952 led to comment: "... the fact that the Queen had exsuded herself at the last moment, blaming a cold, was construed as "a royal snub" by Time magazine, which pointed out that "cousin Gerry [was] never a royal favourite".

Three years after their marriage the Lascelles moved to Fort Belvedere, once home to the Prince of Wales prior to the Abdication.

After her marriage ended in 1978 Angela continued to live in Windsor Great Park and remained on good terms with the Royal Family.

She is survivrd by her son Henry, who is now 51st in line of succession to the throne. "

Tanit Lascelles
She was born on 1 July 1981, daughter of the Hon. James Lascelles and his second of three wives, Lori Susan Lee. Tanit was born on the isle of Ibiza, Spain. Her mother is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tanit's brother Tewa was born on 8 June 1985, in Edgewood, NM. Tanit lives in Los Angeles, and I think she works for EMI. But she is close apparently to her siblings (whom she visits in England at holidays) whose mother is Fredericka Ann Duhrrson: Sophie (a dancer, in London) and Rowan.

The Hon. James Lascelles seems to have a very nice relationship with all four of his children, and they in turn seem to be very close to their grandmother, Marion Stein, who divorced The Earl of Harewood in 1967 (and secondly married to Jeremy Thorpe, a Liberal MP). Marion Stein has a stepson, Rupert Thorpe, who is a friend to her grandchildren.

The Hon. Robert Jeremy Lascelles married Julie Bayliss and has the following children:
*Ellen (works for the Warner Music Group in London)
*Amy
*Tom
The other cousins of Tanit, Tewa, Sophie, and Rowan are the children of Viscount Lascelles, future Earl of Harewood....
*Emily
*Benjamin (Ben)
*The Hon. Alexander
*The Hon. Edward (Eddy)

Yep, there was English slavery (as there was in many countries). England became one of the first (or perhaps even thee first?) to abolish slavery, beginnng with an act passed 200 hundred years ago this year. If you are interested there is a recent film, called 'Amazing Grace', which recounts, the
parliamentary efforts by Wilberforce, and his ilk, to have it abolished.

* Owned by the Harewood House Trust of the Viscount and Viscountess Lascelles
* Set on 4,000 acres in West Yorkshire
* Not to be confused with the Duchy of Cornwall's Harewood Park Estate in Herefordshire (where it was once speculated Prince William would set up his 'starter home')
* The Harewood Estate of the Lascelles family has a 'Harewood Castle' and 'Harewood House' --> The Castle, on the far north end of the estate, is from the 12th Century and is presently dilapidated, "structurally unsafe" and cannot be visited by the public. But 'Harewood House', the main attraction, is an 18th Century Grade 1-listed treasure.
* The Estate is a natural haven for extinct and rare birds: Red Kites, Ostriches, Parrots, Flamingos, Owls, even Penguins

So they better don't invite prince Harry....

^ I know, really! I had the same thought.

I wonder if The Earl of Harewood, or if Lord and Lady Lascelles, actually live at Harewood. The official website declares it is still "home to The Earl" but the House Trust and Estate are chaired by Lord and Lady Lascelles.

The Independent published a very good article about Harewood in 2000. The writer, Kenneth Powell, spoke to Diane, Lady Lascelles, about the work she and her husband have done with the estate.
