Question

What is the last name of Queen Elisabeth of Great Britain?

Answer 1

Windsor.  And her first name is EliZabeth!

Answer 2

The Queen's real surname was "Wettin", a branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line of the House of Wettin. However, 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. The official surname that the descendants of Elizabeth II is "Mountbatten-Windsor."

Mountbatten is the surname of Prince Philip, which is also an English version of the German name Battenberg. Therefore, in honour of him, his children may choose to use the surname "Mountbatten-Windsor", and Prince Charles may want to establish the first "House of Mountbatten-Windsor" as the official ruling house when he is King. However, the younger generation like Prince William and Princess Beatrice prefer to use their territorial title in place of their surname. For example, Prince William was registered as William Wales in college, and Princess Beatrice was registered as Beatrice York in college.

The following people have made use of, in current practice, or have made use of, the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. They are listed in the order of succession to the Crown.

- Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

- Prince William of Wales

- Prince Henry of Wales

- Prince Andrew, Duke of York

- Princess Beatrice of York

- Princess Eugenie of York

- Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex

- Lady Louise Windsor (simply styled with the name Windsor)

- James Windsor, Viscount Severn (styled Viscount Severn)

- Princess Anne, Princess Royal (until her marriage with Mark Phillips in 1973 (divorced 1992) when she assumed his surname; her surname has subsequently changed again on the occasion of her marriage with Timothy Laurence in 1992)

My Dear Lady:

It is indeed, the House of Windsor, but if you were a commoner in the fields, you would address her in your best English grammar by saying, "Ma'am"...whist under your breath you are saying,  "Me Lady Liz ... How is you is?"  Love, from 6-feet deep in snow in Ottawa.... a Royal Family devotee.... Ann Margrock.....

Answer 4

Windsor wins again!

Answer 5

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

However, her grandfather George Vth changed it around the First World War to Windsor to prevent it sounding too German...as we were at war with Germany during the First World War.

They've kept this 'false' name ever since.
