Do Royal Monarchs have last names? IE: Queen Elizabeth II?

Question

Kind of an odd question but just wondering how that works?

Answer 1

The Monarch is known as Elizabeth Windsor, and so are all of her children A portion of her family is known as Mountbatten-Windsor.

Answer 2

Queen Elizabeth II's maiden name was Windsor. High anti-German feeling among the people during WWI prompted the Royal Family to abandon all titles held under the German crown and to change German-sounding titles and house names for English-sounding versions from Wettin to Windsor. The current official surname used for the House of Windsor is Mountbatten-Windsor.The Queen's children and grandchildren are from the House of Mountbatten (the royal house to which Prince Philip belonged). Prince Charles will officially change to House of Mountbatten-Windsor when he becomes King.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

The family name is Windsor, renamed on July 17th 1917 from Saxe-Coburg.  This was a political decision to distance themselves from their German roots during WW1.

So, her name is Elizabeth Windsor.

Answer 6

Typically, no. Instead the use where they are from. Queen Elizabeth II was known as Empress and Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia.
