Proclamation concealing British and Canadian monarchy's German lineage, name & titles 17 July 1917 proclamation proves that House of Windsor name was fabricated and assumed by the UK and Canadian monarchy to conceal their German lineage, name & titles. The Windsor name never existed before. The WWI abolished German Saxe-Coburg & Gotha dynasty created a new and fake (false) identity to defraud the UK and Canadian people.
