Detailed explanation-1: -On June 19, 1917, during the third year of World War I, Britain’s King George V orders the British royal family to dispense with the use of German titles and surnames, changing the surname of his own family, the decidedly Germanic Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, to Windsor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family’s official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -If you follow Queen Elizabeth’s line through her grandmother-George VI (father), Queen Mary (grandmother), Mary Adelaide (great grandmother), Adolphus of Hanover (2nd great grandfather), George III (3rd great-grandfather)-he is more closely related as her 3rd great grandfather.
Detailed explanation-5: -A comprehensive who’s who of the royal family, from the first Windsors to Princess Lilibet, and every cousin in between. The House of Windsor as we know it today began in 1917 when the family changed its name from the German “Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.”
