In 1917, the name of the British royal house was changed from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor because of anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I. There have been four British monarchs of the House of Windsor since then: George V, Edward VIII, George VI, and Elizabeth II.
This is interesting and makes sense. On ancestry, 7 out of 8 of my family trees go back to royal blood lines. I grew up knowing that we were related to the the British and Russian royals. Some of my dna consist of parts British, French, German Saxony, and more. Thanks for this information on my bloodline.
Queen Victoria was German also and spoke German as her first language.
Yep I’m relate to them all. My great great great grandmother was Ana Juliana Von Boyneberg?. I think it was Anna Juliana. They all use the same name. From Hess. A Baronessa. For real. Had 5 children. Emmigrated to América. Ergo no longer part of German Royalty. Her grandson? was a co founder of the University of Pennsylvania in German Town. Yada Yada Yada. We have a letter that was written by my grandfather’s grandmother who referred to her. Cool huh. They married men from the Meng family..my last name. My father’s first cousin who has passed wrote a book. Northern roots and Southern Trails. His name was Hoyt E Meng
Hello, I too have all the true royalty bloodline. I am decedent of Richard Lee of Jamestown and same lineage as Washington, Lincoln, Campbell, Hamilton, Adam’s and many more as well as same maternal DNA as princess Diana and Pocahontas that was unconstitutional and un humanitarian removed from all our lands and forced into Indian territory, USA. Invaded by a coup of satanics, racists and sexists. I am also related to the black prince Gould of East India company that Fenwick made his granddaughter divorce to marry a Windsor. Is that when the crown was illegitimately changed? I am bloodline A- and of Tribe of Judah
