What is Queen Victorias last name?

Answer 1

Since the late Middle Ages, European royalty seem to have discarded the use of their actual last names (surnames). For centuries, it has been customary among royalty to use insted the territorial designation of their royal title as their last name. So, for example when young Harry Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of the Prince of Wales was playing cricket at school, his teammates would have called out, "Come on, Wales! Score, Wales!" Walesis used as the last name of the Prince of Wales' children, even though their "real" last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. It scandalized those present when a mistress of one of the kings of France inquired, "What do you think, France?" What she said in one sense was perfectly proper, because although his last name was Capet, the king would always call himself by his title "Louis de France". (The scandal was because the mistress should have addressed him as "Your Majesty.") Like other royality Queen Victoria didn't have a last name she personally used. She was Victoria of the United Kingdom. Her ancestors had been kings of Hanover, and that was the name of her house or dynasty. Her husband Prince Albert was prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and that is what he used as "a last name" - Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. On their marriage, the name of royal house changed from Hanover to Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Victoria, however, continued to be Victoria of the United Kingdom, Queen.

Answer 2

it is windsorNo it is NOT Windsor! Windsor was brought in by King George V in 1917 to replace the German sounding

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha of his grand-father Prince Albert. Before 1917 members of the British Royal Family had no surname, but only the name of the house or dynasty to which they belonged.

After marrying Queen Victoria belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was carried through by her eldest son Edward VII, whose son George V was the second king of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty. In 1917 George V changed the house name to Windsor, after the castle of the same name, and also declared that all male and unmarried female descenants of Queen Victoria would carry the surname Windsor. Queen Elizabeth II is from the House of Windsor, although she has changed the surname to Mountbatten-Windsor.

All Royals that carry the title of HRH Pince or Princess are not required to use a surname.
