What is Queen Elizabeth II surname?
Technically, she does not have one, but is from the House of Windsor. Elizabeth never uses a surname. Her dynasty is called the House of Windsor, but I think it would be perceived as a terrible insult to address her as Elizabeth Windsor. Some background material from the Wikipedia article on Windsor: By virtue of Queen Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert, son of Duke Ernst I of the small German duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Victoria's descendants were members of the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha with the house name of Wettin. Victoria's son Edward VII and his son George V reigned as members of this house. However, high anti-German feeling among the people during World War I prompted the Royal Family to abandon all titles held under the German crown and to change German-sounding titles and house names for English-sounding versions. On 17 July, 1917, a royal proclamation by George V provided that all agnatic descendants of Queen Victoria would be members of the House of Windsor with the personal surname of Windsor. The name Windsor has a long association with English royalty through the town of Windsor and Windsor Castle. Her family name is Windsor which was changed to Windsor when she was a child. She is married to Phillip Mountbatten, a prince of Greece and Denmark.

Are the windsor German?
No. Whilst the House of Windsor can trace its lines through the German House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and House of Hanover, all members of the House of Windsor were born in the United Kingdom and are therefore British by birthright. German nationality law is complicated and is based on a number of factors including place of birth and mother's nationality. As a result, the members of the House of Windsor have no obvious claim to being German.
