Answer 4

Queen Elizabeth's surname is Windsor, the English sounding version of "Wettin", a branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line of the House of Wettin. High anti-German feeling among the people during World War I 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. Therefore, The Queen's surname became "Windsor", and The House of Windsor is the current Royal House of the United Kingdom and each of the other Commonwealth realms.

Queen Elizabeth is the great-great granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. By virtue of Queen Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, son of Duke Ernst I of the small German duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, her descendants were members of the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha with the house name of Wettin. Victoria's son Edward VII and his son George V reigned as members of this house.

Note: In Council on 9 April 1952, after her accession, Queen Elizabeth II officially declared her “Will and Pleasure that I and My children shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that my descendants who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor.

Answer 5

Its simply just Windsor. ^_^

Answer 6

Rachelle ALWAYS gets this question wrong because she copies and pastes her old, wrong answers.

Queen Elizabeth II, as a titled royal, does not have a surname. Her full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Royals don't need surnames so not all royal families have them.

What Windsor is, for the queen, is a "house name", which is the name of her dynasty. It is not an English form of Wettin as Rachelle so wrongly states, it was taken from Windsor Castle, a palace and fortification so strongly associated with the British Royal Family.

The only relations of the Royal Family who have the surname Windsor are male-line descendants of Queen Victoria who are British subjects and live in the UK who are *not* princes or princesses. The male-line descendants of Elizabeth II who are *not* princes or princesses have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Princes and princesses and kings and queens of the UK don't have the surname Windsor or Mountbatte-Windsor though as the wording of the Letters Patent does not provide for one. The "helpful" flunkies at the Royal Insight (palace publication usually riddled with errors) and those who filled in Anne's marriage license *think* that the Royal Family has surnames.

Ask yourself this question though. If Windsor and Mountbatten-Windsor are surnames of the British Royal Family why do Beatrice and Eugenie use "York" and William and Henry use "Wales" in place of a real surname? It's because they don't have one, like the rest of the Royal Family.

Answer 7

Windsor.

"The royal family name of Windsor was confirmed by Queen Elizabeth II after her accession in 1952 as follows: 'The Queen today declared in Council her will and pleasure that she and her children shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that her descendants, other than female descendants who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor.'

"In 1960 the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh decided they wanted their direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the royal family (without changing the name of the royal house) as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of King George V. They officially stated on 8 February 1960 that all The Queen's descendants who did not bear the "style, title or attribute of HRH, and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess" shall bear the name of Mountbatten-Windsor."

I thought it was v****a or Regina, but on closer inspection it is actually Windsor.

Answer 9

Cfvh is the ONLY one who has got this right, so far!! Windsor is indeed just the name given to the lineage - not a surname at all in the common sense.  Princes William and Harry both serve under the 'surname' Wales, as their father is the Prince of Wales, and Beatrice and Eugenie use 'York' as their father is the Duke of York.

I've never ever heard that Windsor is an anglicised version of a german word that sounds nothing like windsor in the first place..... however, Windsor castle has been in existence for much longer than the present incumbent of the throne, and to have named the family line after this sounds much more plausible.

I live in the UK, always have, and back when I was at school it was deemed a part of our education to know about the royal family, who was what and what names they carried.  Unfortunately, english kids now are more likely to know who Tony Blair is than who Prince Philip is...

Answer 10

windsor.
