what is queen elizabeth's surname?

Answer 1

Technically she has none. Her family surname used to be Saxe-Coburg Gotha. At the time of WWI it was thought to be wrong to remind people of the Royal Family's German roots, so they changed the names to Windsor.

You will see that the surname is irrelevant anyway, being used just to describe the "House of Windsor". Prince Harry in the army is known as 2nd Lt Wales rather than 2nd Lt Windsor, but he is still of the House of Windsor.

Answer 2

Elizabeth Windsor

Answer 3

The current royal family is the house of Windsor, so if she ever needed to use a surname, which she doesn't, it would be WIndsor. She just signs anything Elizabeth R, meaning Elizabeth Regina

Answer 4

The Queen's surname is Windsor, as is the surname of her sons, Charles, Andrew, and Edward, and, prior to her marriage, her daughter Anne.
Prince Phillip did not change his name when he and Elizabeth married, so his surname is still Montbatten.
Like their father, William and Harry also carry the surname Windsor.

Answer 5

You didn't say which one.
Elizabeth I was Tudor
Elizabeth II is Windsor. But its a made up name
The first Windsor was George v 1910-36 the original name was
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha but he thought it might have been a good idea to change to a more English sounding name when the Great War kicked off in 1914

Answer 6

Everybody says 'Windsor' but, technically she doesn't have one. All documents are signed 'Elizabeth'. She never uses a surname. Edward VII adopted the name 'Saxe Coburg Gotha' as the family name, as they are Germans, from the previous House of Hapsburg. The name was changed to 'Windsor' during WWI as it sounded too German and as we were at war with Germany they thought that 'Windsor' sounded more English. The name was taken from where they lived, Windsor Castle, but this was only cosmetic as the Royal Family do not use a surname only a 'House' name, such as House of Windsor, House of Tudor, etc. The rest of the family were 'Battenburgs' but changed theirs to the more English sounding 'Mountbatten'. Basically though they are still Germans pretending to be English.

It's Windsor;it was originally Saxe-Coburg-Gotha during Edward VI's time but was changed to the more English-sounding Windsor when troubles with Germany began before the outbreak of World War I.
