"People often ask whether members of the Royal Family have a surname, and, if so, what it is.

The situation of members of the Royal Family is more complex than for most people, as they can be known both by the name of the Royal house, and by a surname, which are not always the same.

Before 1917, members of the British Royal Family had no surname, but only the name of the house or dynasty to which they belonged.

Kings and princes were historically known by the names of the countries over which they and their families ruled. Kings and queens therefore signed themselves by their first names only, a tradition in the United Kingdom which has continued to the present day.

The names of dynasties tended to change when the line of succession was taken by a rival faction within the family (for example, Henry IV and the Lancastrians, Edward IV and the Yorkists, Henry VII and the Tudors), or when succession passed to a different family branch through females (for example, Henry II and the Angevins, James I and the Stuarts, George I and the Hanoverians).

Just as children can take their surnames from their father, so sovereigns normally take the name of their 'House' from their father. For this reason, Queen Victoria's eldest son Edward VII belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the family name of his father Prince Albert). Edward VII's son George V became the second king of that dynasty when he succeeded to the throne in 1910.

In 1917, there was a radical change, when George V specifically adopted Windsor, not only as the name of the 'House' or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family. The family name was changed as a result of anti-German feeling during the First World War, and the name Windsor was adopted after the Castle of the same name.

At a meeting of the Privy Council on 17 July 1917, George V declared that 'all descendants in the male line of Queen Victoria, who are subjects of these realms, other than female descendants who marry or who have married, shall bear the name of Windsor'.

The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George V.

It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.

This reflected Prince Philip's surname. In 1947, when Prince Philip of Greece became naturalised, he assumed the name of Philip Mountbatten as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy.

The effect of the declaration was that all The Queen's children, on occasions when they needed a surname, would have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

The surname Mountbatten-Windsor first appeared on an official document on 14 November 1973, in the marriage register at Westminster Abbey for the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

A proclamation on the Royal Family name by the reigning monarch is not statutory; unlike an Act of Parliament, it does not pass into the law of the land. Such a proclamation is not binding on succeeding reigning sovereigns, nor does it set a precedent which must be followed by reigning sovereigns who come after.

Unless The Prince of Wales chooses to alter the present decisions when he becomes king, he will continue to be of the House of Windsor and his grandchildren will use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor."

Windsor was originally Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and was changed as mentioned above in 1917 to allay anti-German feelings caused by the first World War(the current royal family are of German-Danish,Scottish and English heritage).

Answer 2

There is no King of England. There is a reigning Queen of England and her name is Queen Elizabeth II and her family name is Windsor.

Answer 3

There is no King at this time.
However, if there was it would be incorrect to call him King of England when in fact he would be King of United Kingdom of Great Britain & the Commonwealth. There is a Queen & her surname is Windsor.

Answer 4

There is no king of England, but there is a Queen. The name is Windsor.

Answer 5

In 1372, Sir John LYON was granted the thaneage of Glamis by King Robert II for services rendered to the crown. Four years later Sir John married the King’s daughter, Princess Joanna, and it is from this union that the "current family" descends.

In April 1952, after her accession, Queen Elizabeth II officially declared her “Will and Pleasure that I and My children shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that my descendants who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor.” This is in contrast with the usual practice in which her children would be of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg through their father, born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, with the surname of Oldenburg.

On 8 February 1960, the Queen confirmed that she and her descendants will be known as the House and Family of Windsor, and further provided that their personal surname, whenever one should be needed, is "Mountbatten-Windsor". Mountbatten is the surname adopted by Prince Philip before his marriage, an anglicization of his mother's family name of Battenberg.

Any future monarch could change the dynasty name by royal proclamation if he or she chose to do so. For example, if the current Prince of Wales accedes to the throne and desires to do so, he could change the name of the royal house to "Mountbatten" in honour of his father. But the proclamations of George V and Elizabeth II will stand unless and until they are overridden by a monarch in the future.

Answer 6

The House of Windsors has been ruling England for a long time ago...

Answer 7

there is currently no king of england.

Answer 8

There is no King of England (and, technically, hasn't been since 1707), so your question has no answer.

Answer 9

The royal house is of Winsor, but HRH Prince Charles'
father, HRH Prince Philip. is a Mountbatten - a name he selected after becoming a Brittish citizen- so who knows?
(I sort of liked HRH King Charles Mountbatten of Winsor, but I'm afraid this won't happen!)

Answer 10

Royalty have not got final names. those have been initially invented so as that persons with an identical call residing interior an identical place could be counseled aside, yet royalty have never necessary that. They do have a "domicile call", although, and Henry VIII became of the domicile of Tudor - so if he had a final call in any respect, it became Tudor.
