What happens to the title once the heir to the Earl dies?
ReplyDeleteWho inherits the title after Leo Cyrus Anthony Lascelles passes away?
ReplyDeleteAlexander is the heir apparent to his father, the present earl. Leo cannot inherit as he was born illegitimate. Alexander is now married and so far only a daughter. There are plenty of Lascelles. Alexander has a younger brother Edward who is married with one son. the present earl has 2 younger brothers, with several eligible males, the present earl also has a first cousin and there collateral line descendants
