"Do you agree with having a monarchy? " That question is irrelevant. | |||

"I wonder if the royal family will,at some point, ditch the anglicised version (Windsor) of their real surname which is the German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. King George V in approximately the year 1917 when we were at war with Germany adopted the surname Windsor to distance the British royal family from its German roots. No doubt after having a sideways glance at his cousin Tsar Nicholas and his family of Russia who had all been executed by "the people" during the Russian Revolution. I would love to be a fly on the wall when the new younger members of the royal family are given the facts about their family history. About an entire branch of the family shot at point-blank range and their bodies stuffed down a well. " Who cares? You can't blame people for the deeds of their dead relatives. Plus I would be sure that their name has been legally changed. Cal | |||

If you had a double-hyphenated Germanic sounding name like Saxe-Coburg-Gotha would you want to change it to Windsor? Windsor does not quite have a ring to it. Windsor sounds like a carpet manufacturer from Leeds. | |||

My statement is concise and to the point. "Would you like to be a fly on the wall because you would enjoy the intter turmoil they would go through because of your dislike of the royals, watch and hope they work through their anguish because you like the royals and hope this makes them stronger or do you have no preference and just want to see what would happen as a social experiment. | |||

"What was Princess Anne's maiden name ? Mountbatten-Windsor.
Odd for all your children to have different surnames yet the same parents"Mountbatten is the name Philip took when he naturalised, after his uncle, Louis Mountbatten, hence, Mountbatten-Windsor. | |||

It also may be for a reason that is not currently clear. | |||
