what is the king of england's last name?

Answer 1

There is no King of England right now, if Charles or one of his sons was to become King - their last name is Windsor.
If it's Prince Philip's name you're looking for it's Mountbatten, he changed it when he became an British citizen. He was born Prince Phillipos of Greece & Denmark & when his father was forced to abdicate he took his mother's name, Battenburg, this was anglicized to Mountbatten when he became engaged to Princess Elizabeth of England & her father created him Duke of Edinburgh.

Answer 2

There is no King of England, and technically hasn't been since 1707 when the Kingdom of Great Britain was formed. The last man to hold the title King of England was William III. William did not have a last name - at the time, most royal families didn't use what we'd consider last names. He was of the house of Orange, so that could be considered his family name.

Answer 3

For the fellow who said there hasn't been a King of England in hundreds of years; Queen Elizabeths' father was King before her & that was up to 1952 when he died & Elizabeth assumed the throne through the rite of primogeniture. It usually passes to the first-born son, but George VI didn't have any male children - two daughters named Elizabeth & Margaret. King Edward the VIII was King before him, but abdicated the throne in order to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Before that was George V, Edward VII & then Queen Victoria. There was a 51 year span where there were only Kings & no Queens.....

Answer 4

Prince Philip is not a king.

He was originally a Prince of Greece and Denmark, Prince Philip abandoned these titles shortly before his marriage. At the time of his engagement he was known as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. In 1947, he married Princess Elizabeth, the heiress to King George VI. Prince Philip was a member of the Greek and Danish Royal House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Prior to his marriage, George VI created him Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich with the style of His Royal Highness. In 1957, Philip was created a Prince of the United Kingdom. Prince Philip took the anglicized name of his mother's family, Mountbatten (formerly Battenberg) after becoming a British citizen.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Elisabeth used to be Saxe-Coburg.
Philip used to Battenburg.

Philip's uncle was Viceroy of India and so changed the Battenburg to Mountbatten to be more English.

When Philip, a Prince in his own right, married Princess Elisabeth there was the question of the Surname.

It was just after WWII and everyone needed to get away from the German influence and so when Elisabeth was crowned, the House of Saxe-Coburg became Windsor.

Philip, as Prince Consort has his wife's last name- Windsor.

Good 'innit ??

Answer 8

England does not have a king - they have a queen - and her husband is a prince regent. but should Charlie ever make it to the throne or his son willie - it would be windsor

Answer 9

One small correction: Prince Philip is Prince Consort, meaning he is the spouse of the reigning monarch. A regent is an adult who temporarity holds the reins of power *in the name of* an actual ruler who is still a minor. He reliquishes his responsibilities when the ruler comes of age and is able to rule in his own right.

Answer 10

She's from the House of Windsor, so I guess that would be her last name. She is also the Duchess of Edinburgh.
