Due to rising anti-German sentiment in the UK during World War One, King George V opted to change the name of the Royal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

 

The Royal Family website explains: “In 1917, there was a radical change, when George V specifically adopted Windsor, not only as the name of the ‘House’ or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family.
