  1. Windsor

    Mother's maiden name ' Bowes-Lyon'


  2. Her full name is

    Elizabeth Monkeyballs.

    hahaha...funny, right?

  3. no... but her Grandsons were known in the Military service as  "Mister Windsor"

  4. from the date of this Our Royal Proclamation Our House and Family shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that all the descendants in the male line of Our said Grandmother Queen Victoria who are subjects of these Realms, other than female descendants who may marry or may have married, shall bear the said Name of Windsor

  5. 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.

    Although the official surname that royal children and grandchildren of the Queen is "Mountbatten-Windsor", the younger royal generation prefers to use their "territorial title" as oppose to their official surname. Prince William of Wales was registered as "William Wales" in college, and both Princess Beatrice and Eugenie of York were registered as "Beatrice and Eugenie York" in college.

  6. No, titled royalty (i.e. have HM or HRH) do not have a last name however, untitled mambers of the Royal family take the name Windsor e.g. Lord Frederick Windsor. However as the Queen is a female her untitled descendants through the male line will be known as Mountbatten-Windsor e.g. Prince Harry's children. She herself is a member of the House of Windsor and the fourth monarch of that House.

  7. Mountbatten- Windsor.

  8. There must be some kind of law I'm not aware of. "This question about the queen's last name must be asked every three days!" Uff da!

  9. She really doesn't use a last name,but a Royal House Name,which is The Royal House of Windsor. The name Windsor was originally Saxe-Coburg-Gotha,but was changed during World War I,after 24 German double-engined GOTHA war planes bombed London.Riots and protests occurred,the King was very put off with Germany and changed the name to Windsor.

    The Queen's grandchildren and descendants who need to use a surname use Mountbatten-Windsor.But Royals who have titles usually use their titles,like Charles' family uses Wales,Andrew's family uses York and Edward's family uses Wessex.

  10. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor
