Help somebody. What is Queen Elizabeth's last name and is she a descendant of King Henry v111?

Answer 1

She is not directly descended from Henry VIII, because none of Henry's children had children, so the Tudor dynasty died out. She is descended from Henry's sister Margaret, who married the king of Scotland. Margaret's great grandson, James I of England (James VI of Scotland) was the heir to the throne after the last Tudor, Queen Elizabeth I died. Our present Queen is descended from him.

Answer 2

Queen Elizabeth I was THE LAST TUDOR ROYAL.

Queen Elizabeth's family took over the Royal line around the 1820's when the old king was dying and didn't have an Heir to replace him. All the "cousin's" started a "baby war" to see who could have the first baby that would become the successor to the King. Queen Vicotoria was the WINNING BABY! When she came of age and the King died, she immediately became Queen even though the King hated her Mother (a snobbish, pushy woman). They were the first in what would become the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (all Duchy's (Dukedom's) in Germany). Later in World War I their name would change to the House of Windsor to sound less German (however, except for Princess Alexandria (from Russia, Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law) they were STILL ALL GERMAN. It would not be until Queen Elizabeth II's Mother, the Queen Mother married her father, King George VI that someone not German married into the family. The Queen Mother was Scottish.

Then of course Princess' Diana and Sarah were both British.

Answer 3

Her last name is Windsor,changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha by her grandfather,George V,because of anti-German sentiments caused by World War I.
The House of Windsor is a different Royal House than the House of Tudor;it's possible that she is a descendant of Henry VIII,but not a direct descendant.

Answer 4

She comes from the House of Windsor, and NO she is not directly descended from King Henry VIII but from King Henry VII via his daughter Margaret.

Answer 5

Elizabeth's personal surname is Mountbatten-Windsor, Windsor is a name her father's family took on early in the 20th century to rid themselves of their apparent German heritage. Mountbatten is the surname of Prince Phillip, the consort. Elizabeth is actually of German ancestry on her father's side. Her great-grandmother was Queen Victoria, who was of the House of Hanover, a Germany duchy, and Victoria's consort was her cousin, Prince Albert, of the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, another German noble house. To my knowledge Queen Elizabeth is of no relation to Henry VIII, who was of the House of Tudor. With the death of Elizabeth I, the last of the Tudors, in 1603, the British throne devolved upon the Stuarts, descendants of the hapless Mary, Queen of Scots, who was Elizabeth's cousin, and who was put to death by same in 1587. However, Mary had the last laugh on Elizabeth, because her son, James I, succeeded Elizabeth after her demise in 1603. In 1714 the British throne passed out of the hands of the Stuarts with the ascension of George I, of the Royal House of Hanover, the line from which Elizabeth II directly descends.

Answer 6

The family name is now Windsor, it was changed by her Grandfather King GeorgeV during World War 1. Yes she is descended from good old King Henry.

Answer 7

Windsor.

She is related to henryviii

b/c after Elizabeth I her nephew took the throne, the Stuart's, they held the throne. even though their have been new houses of rulers they are all linked to James 1 who was Henry the viii's relative.
Does this make sense?

Answer 8

Royalty do not have very last names. those were initially invented so as that human beings with the same call residing interior the same position might want to study aside, yet royalty have under no circumstances mandatory that. They do have a "homestead call", besides the indisputable fact that, and Henry VIII develop into of the homestead of Tudor - so if he had a very last call in any respect, it develop into Tudor.
