The answer to this question is:
alexander edgar lascelles , viscount lascelles -lrb- born 13 may 1980 -rrb- , is the third child and second son of david lascelles , 8th earl of harewood and his first wife margaret , viscountess lascelles .he is a direct descendent of king george v and is 54th in line to the british throne .his elder siblings , emily lascelles -lrb- born 1975 -rrb- and benjamin lascelles -lrb- born 1978 -rrb- , were legitimated by subsequent marriage and they share the same mother .although legitimation is recognized in the united kingdom , peerage regulations exclude them from having a claim to the british throne or the harewood titles .he also has one younger brother , edward lascelles -lrb- born 1982 -rrb- .because his older brother does not meet peerage regulations , lord lascelles is the heir apparent to the earldom .in 2008 , lascelles with his girlfriend , laleh yaganegy , had a son , leo cyrus anthony lascelles .as his parents were not married at the time of his birth , leo is not in line behind his father for the earldom of harewood nor the british throne .as of 2014 , lord lascelles was employed as a chef at an arts venue in london .
