Queen Elizabeth is of the House and Family of Windsor, as proclaimed July 17, 1917. The name Windsor replaced Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was dropped during World War I because of its German origin. Thus, the royal family’s surname is Winds or. However, in 1960, Queen Elizabeth announced that her descendants, except for princes and princesses, will bear the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.
