The Windsors are a well-known British royal family. The name “Windsor” was adopted by the British royal family in 1917 when King George V changed the family’s name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in response to anti-German sentiment during World War I. The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was of German origin, and the name change was made to sound more British and less German.
The current British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, is a member of the House of Windsor. She became queen in 1952, and her reign has been one of the longest in British history. The House of Windsor has played a significant role in British and world history, with various members of the family serving as kings and queens over the years.
Notable members of the Windsor family include Queen Elizabeth II, her husband Prince Philip, her son and heir, Prince Charles, and his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, among others. The family is often in the public eye, and they undertake various official and charitable duties. They also have ceremonial and symbolic roles in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth nations.
