  1. Windsor is her maiden name.

    She then became Mountbatten-Windsor when she married. So the family are the Mountbatten-Windsors.

    However, the Royal House is known as the House of Windsor, because Prince Philip's name cannot be added, as his family line have no claim to the throne.


  2. She no longer has one.  Prior to becoming monarch, it was Windsor.

  3. WINDSOR

  4. W

  5. it was Windsor as a child but I suppose as she married Phillip it would be his [of sorts] and sorry not a clue what his is.

    regards

  6. For the ten millionth time it's Windsor.

  7. Windsor, when she needs to use it.  It is a relatively recent development.  Up until 1917, the British Royal Family had no surname.  King George V declared Windsor to not only be the name of the "house" (or dynasty), but also their surname.  Queen Elizabeth II's direct decendents are Mountbatten-Windsor, reflecting Prince Philip's surname.

  8. Her last name is Windsor, although she really doesn't use it.  (Why would she need to?  I mean, is anyone likely to ask, "Which Elizabeth II are you?")

  9. Technically she doesn't have a surname she is HM Queen Elizabeth II. She is a member of the House of Windsor. Her son, The Prince of Wales has indicated that when he inherits the throne it may become the House of Mountbatten-Windsor. It would have become the House of Mountabatten but George V indicated that he'd like Windsor to remain.

  10. rex!! and shes german

  11. Saxon-Coburgh

  12. The "ll" which comes after her name elizabeth, has become part of her name and has taken over her former surname, windsor. So she is now elizabeth ll.

  13. It's still Windsor

  14. Queen Elizabeths father was born Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

    Prince Philip was a member of the German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

    Prince Philip was required to convert from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism, to renounce his allegiance to the Hellenic Crown, and to become a naturalised British subject.[5] He renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles on 18 March 1947 and decided to take the name Mountbatten

    However the royalty took on the name windsor to distance themselves from their german heritage.
