Answer The British Royal Family belongs to The House of Windsor, after Queen Elizabeth II's family, not Prince Philip's. The "Windsors" are descendants of Queen Victoria, the last monarch of the House of Hanover, and her husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. King George V, Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather, changed the name from "Saxe-Coburg" to Windsor because of anti-German feelings during World War 1. The unofficial surname of the Queen's descendants, Mountbatten-Windsor, is derived both from Windsor, as described above, and Mountbatten, which is the surname earlier adopted by Philip because of his mother's Mountbatten relatives. The name had also been changed during WWI from Battenberg.
