The House of Windsor is the reigning royal house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. The dynasty was established on 17 July 1917 by King George V, who changed the name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha due to anti-German sentiment during World War I.
History
The House of Windsor was founded by George V, who was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The name change was a response to the strong anti-German feelings prevalent in the UK during World War I. The name "Windsor" was chosen after Windsor Castle, a royal residence.
