What Prince Philip Lost in the Royal Name War
In 1917, King George V changed the royal family’s name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor due to anti-German sentiment.

Despite Philip's preference for his surname, Queen Elizabeth II maintained Windsor as the family name for the monarchy, balancing tradition with modern identity.
