What is the last name of Queen Elizabeth II?

Question

family name

Answer 1

It is Windsor. Like Windsor Castle.

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor; born 21 April 1926) is Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other sovereign states, collectively known as the Commonwealth Realms.

The states of which the Queen is sovereign are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. By the Statute of Westminster 1931, she holds all her positions equally; no one nation takes precedence over any other. However, her principal residences are located within the United Kingdom. She is the world's only monarch who is simultaneously Head of State of more than one independent nation, with realms in Europe, North and Central America, the Caribbean, and Oceania. In legal theory she is the most powerful head of state in the world, although in practice she exercises very little political executive power (especially outside the United Kingdom).

Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. As other colonies of the British Commonwealth (now the Commonwealth of Nations) attained independence from the UK during her reign, she acceded to the newly created thrones as Queen of each respective realm so that throughout her 54 years on the throne she has been Monarch of 32 nations. Elizabeth II has seen a number of her former territories and realms gain independence. (See Former Commonwealth Realms.) Today, about 128 million people live in the 16 countries of which she is head of state.

Elizabeth also holds the positions of Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme Governor of the Church of England (styled Defender of the faith) and Lord of Mann. Following tradition, she is also styled Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy. She is also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces of many of her Realms.

Elizabeth is currently the second-longest-reigning head of state in the world and the fifth-longest serving British monarch. Her reign of over half a century has seen ten different Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and numerous Prime Ministers in the Commonwealth Realms of which she is (or was) also Head of State.

Answer 2

Windsor has been the last name of Queen Elizabeth II's family, since 1917, after the anti-German feelings in Britain during the height of World War I. Saxon-Couburg was the original name.

Answer 3

Her last name was Mountbatten from her marriage in 1947 until 1952. Once she became Queen, Churchill insisted she change it back to Windsor. After the birth of Prince Andrew a bishop preached a sermon complaining that only illegitimate children used their mother's surnames and a prince deserved better, and a 1960 decree stated that the names of their grandchildren was to become Mountbatten-Windsor, incorporating Philip's with hers. But the fact is they rarely use them, and call themselves what they want. William and Harry are called 'Wales' at Sandhurst, and when she married, Princess Anne called herself 'Anne Mountbatten-Windsor' even though this name was only meant to apply to Elizabeth and Philip's grandchildren.

Windsor

Answer 6

Originally it was Saxon-Coburg as she is German. Prince Phillip is Greek and after WW II this was considered a bit de-stabilising so the Queen changed her name to Windsor.
