What is Queen Elizabeth the second's last name?

Answer 1

If you go by legality it is Mount Baton because that is Prince Phillip's last name.

However because of carrying on the House of Windsor, the Queen goes by the last name of Windsor.

Confusing I know but that is the way with British Royalty.

Answer 2

The royal family is known as the House of Windsor. This was adopted in 1917, and before that there was no general use of any family name, though strictly they were Saxe-Coburg Gotha after the death of Queen Victoria, and Hanover before that (exactly what family name the House of Hanover had has never really been settled). Under the Tudors and Stuarts the family or house name was more commonly used.

Strictly a member of the Royal Family who is a prince or princess doesn't have a surname, and it is only with the arrival of more distant members of the family without royal titles that the issue arises. In Continental royal families everyone is a prince or princess, in the House of Windsor only the children and grandchildren, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, are so styled. So we now have people like Lord Nicholas Windsor, son of the Duke of Kent (and a great-grandson of King George V), who use the family name Windsor.

Since 1960 the rule has been that descendants of Queen Elizabeth II shall bear the suurname Mountbatten-Windsor, though the Royal Family remains officially the House of Windsor. This new surname will only appear with the grandchildren (if any, and in the male line) of Prince Harry.

Answer 3

i think it really is Windsor, which, by ability of how is an "followed" call by ability of proclamation of King George V in 1917. It replaced into taken from Windsor fort. in the previous that, Queen Victoria married a German cousin and the perfect call replaced into Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. George V actually replaced the call to Windsor to illustrate the antipathy of British topics in the time of WWI in the route of Germany. in reality Elizabeth's little ones (princes and princesses) undergo the call Windsor, at the same time as different descendants are named after her husband, Prince Phillip, taking the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Answer 4

Technically, it's MountBatten, which is an anglicized form of Battenburg.

She signs documents Elizabeth R (for Regina) (or Queen).

But she is also Elizabeth of the House of Windsor.

God Save teh Queen

Answer 5

Windsor

Answer 6

It is Windsor. It used to be "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha", or just Coburg for short, a German name. But during WWI, when all Britain was rabidly anti-German, they changed it to the very British "Windsor" to remove all German association from the royal family. Her husbands last name is Mountbatten, but she did not take it on marriage, and any of her descendants with the title Royal Highness, are just Windsor, while those who are not Royal Highnesses are Mountbatten-Windsor.

Answer 7

Technically, she doesn't have one - monarchs don't. Before becoming queen her last name was Windsor, and the family name is Mountbatten-Windsor (i.e., Prince Phillip's name hyphenated with hers).

Answer 8

Strictly speaking, its Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha.

But sounds too german.

As a married woman she should be Mountbatten.

But sounds too german.

Therefore she uses Windsor.

Isn't it interesting that the queen of a country cannot bear her family name and has to use the one her father made up?

Answer 9

Windsor.

Answer 10

Its Windsor.
