- This house was once made into a hospital for recovery during two wars.

- 1 of the members of the Lascelles family was married to Princess Mary (Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood), of whom he was the eldest daughter of King George V and Queen Mary of Teck of England, and he was the sister of King Edward VIII and King George VI, the latter of whom was the father of Queen Elizabeth II of England himself.

- So this Harewood House is like a house that has always welcomed the royal family.
