The Edwardian era ended in 1910 with the death of Edward VII. Then his son took the throne (George V), then his son took the throne but for less than a year (Edward VIII) then his brother took the throne (George VI) then his daughter (Elizabeth II). As you can see it would get difficult to name eras after the king/queen when since 1910 we've had 4 of them. That's why historians call the time after Edward VII the 1st World War era, then the Inter War era, then the 2nd World War era and finally the Cold War era-after that I would assume historians would consider it the modern/present era. HOWEVER This is my idea, but I wouldn't be shocked if historians (if given time) will one day refer to the time that Elizabeth II was Queen as the 2nd Elizabethian era. BUT If you really wanted to incompass all the time since Edward VII died into one whole era by using the name of a monarch I would use "Windsor era" because the one thing all the monarchs since Edward the VII have in common is that after him they all were the "house of Windsor." If the monarchy is abolished with-in the next 50 years or so I think historians will one day do this.

House of Windsor.
The House of Windsor was established in 1917 when King George V changed the family name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor during World War I, reflecting a desire to distance the British royal family from its German roots. As of 2023, the House of Windsor is 106 years old.

No, the House of Windsor.
The House of Tudor died out upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The House of Windsor is the present reigning family.
The Windsor dynasty originated in 1917 when King George V, in response to anti-German sentiment during World War I, changed the family name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the House of Windsor, named after Windsor Castle. This change symbolized a shift towards a more British identity. The royal family's rebranding aimed to strengthen public support and solidarity during the war, and the name Windsor has since been synonymous with the British monarchy.
