Well, he held many German Regal titles as his grandfather was German. Many members of the British Royal family held titles as well. Also, King George's first cousin was the Emperor of Germany. So, not in 1914, but in 1917, he abandoned the German titles he held, and so did the rest of the British Royal Family. He then cut the Royal house of Britain (then a branch of the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Royal house) off to become its own. He called it the House of Windsor.
