An aristocrat, who is 65th in line to the British throne, will be spending Christmas behind bars after he was jailed for yet another racially aggravated crime.
Ironically Rowan Nash Lascelles, 42, will be swapping a bed at the homeless hostel named after his great-great grandfather George V for a prison cell.
Last Thursday at Westminster Magistrates Court he was sentenced to sixteen weeks imprisonment, plus one week to run concurrently for jumping bail.
Lascelles, the son of The Hon. James Lascelles, 65, the second son of the 7th Earl of Harewood, had gone on the run and failed to appear for his earlier trial.
In his absence he was convicted at Hendon Magistrates Court of the racially aggravated harassment of Avi Daoudi at Victoria Station on April 18.
A second charge of racially aggravated harassment against Shubhamangla Sampanguramareddy was dismissed.
He received eight weeks imprisonment and was ordered to pay a £122 victim surcharge.
An additional eight weeks imprisonment was added, to run consecutively, for breaching a community order imposed for a similar offence.
Lascelles, of King George V Hostel, 75 Great Peter Street, Victoria was convicted last July of the racially aggravated assault of a Leicester Square casino doorman and racially abusing his supervisor.
On that occasion he spat blood in the bouncer’s face after fighting outside with some homeless men and called the supervisor a: “Paki.”
Again Lascelles jumped bailed and did not appear for the trial.
