As we’ve pointed out, the Windsor name started with the Queen’s grandfather, King George V, and carried down the line. However, it did have the exclusion of female descendants who would marry; assuming they would take their husband’s surname.
On April 9, 1952, a few months after she had succeeded her father to the throne, Queen Elizabeth announced something that would shock her husband. She had not adopted her husband’s surname and then declared that her descendants would bear the name of Windsor. This caused quite a stir within the Royal household.
