The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of York were his godparents. We do not know much about his childhood. As he and his brother were close in age, they were often dressed alike.

After his older brother Lord Harewood became a POW during World War II, Gerald was not permitted to serve abroad during the War. Lascelles was best known for his involvement with auto raceing. He managed to race raced cars for a short time, although immediately after the War he was not permitted to do so. He was the long-time president of the British Racing Drivers' Club (1964-1991). The 5th Earl Howe had asked Lascelles to replace him. He was a great admirer of jazz. Lascelles married Angela Estree Lyssod D'Arcy Dowding (1919-2007) at St. Margaret's, Westminster (1952).
