What was Queen Elizabeth's surname when she was a child?
The Queen does not normally use or need a surname for many reasons, not the least of which is because as head-of-state, she does not need to be issued a driver's license or passport. However, when necessary, the royal family uses the surname "Windsor," a name that has been in use since 1917 during World War I. It comes from the name of one of the royal residences, Windsor Castle. This was instituted when the British King denounced all German titles that the family held when war broke out between Germany and England. Prior to that, the surname used (again, only on occassion) was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In England, royalty without the title of "His Royal Highness"/"Her Royal Highness" (HRH) use the surname "Mountbatten-Windsor" which is a combination of Prince Phillip's surname and Queen Elizabeth's.
