What is the surname of Queen Elizabeth Family?

Answer 1

The official family name of the current Queen of England is Windsor- this surname has been carried by her forbears going back up to Queen Victoria (they are thus known as the 'House of Windsor'). Victoria's official surname was Hanover, which was the surname of all previous monarchs going back to William of Orange and his Queen Mary. However, neither of these surnames is the natural one- William of Orange's real surname was Guelf, which he abandoned in favour of the adopted name of Hanover because Guelf sounded too German for an English sovereign. Thus, the real surname of all the monarchs since him is really Guelf! The monarchs prior to William & Mary were James II, Charles II, Charles I and James I- these were all descended from the Kings of Scotland, whose name was Stewart, so they are known as 'the Stewarts' (James II had no surviving heir, which is why William & Mary assumed the English throne, in their capacity as German cousins of the English royals). Similarly, the Stewarts took the throne following the death of Elizabeth I, who died unmarried and childless- she, and all her predecessors going back to Henry VII, were descended from the Welsh kings,whose name was Tudor- so they are known as 'the Tudors'. Henry VII overthrew the last of the Norman kings, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485- the surname of the Norman kings was Plantagenet, going back to William the Conqueror, who invaded England and overthrew the Saxon King Harold in 1066. From King Harold back, I regret I am unsure of what the Royal surnames were. So, Royal surnames in order following the Norman Conquest are: Plantagenet , Tudor , Stewart, 'Hanover' (Guelf) and 'Windsor' (Guelf).

Answer 2

The British Royal Family, do not have "family names" or surnames, but are said to belong to a royal house, and the current royal house is the House of Windsor.

However, in such situations where a surname is required, such as, for instance, on marriage registry entries or military service records, the royal family tend to use the name 'Mountbatten-Windsor'. This is a made-up name combining the last name of Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the name of the royal house.
