I know the Swedish royal family´s name is Bernadotte, but what about all the other ones? Does anyone know?
You're right. Eloise, daughter of Laurentien and Constatijn, haves the name 'von Amsberg'.Originally posted by Robbert@Nov 4th, 2003 - 4:50 pm
In The Netherlands it's: Van Oranje Nassau (and maybe Von Amsberg to because that's the name of late prince Claus)

As a follow up to my last post- What I posted were the"Family" names as opposed to their "House" names. There is a difference. They are not the same in many cases.

It´s clear, that they have the same name! .....And that´s the reason why they have the same name!

Prussia- Hohenzollern
Hanover- Guelf
Roumania- Hohenzollern

Actually Hannover is "von Hannover"

Let us take one example first-Originally posted by Alexandra@Nov 7th, 2003 - 10:50 am
What is a FAMILY name and what is a HOUSE name? Which is the diffetrence between them? Or the similarity? I never knew that.
And what about this: Hannover is the same as Brauschweig-Lüneburg ? Is one of the names a family name and the other part a house name?
:flower: Your assumption is incorrect. Windsor IS thier surname AND the House name. Please look at this website to see Letters Patent issused in 1917 by HM George V-Originally posted by King Christian@Nov 7th, 2003 - 11:53 am
... in regards to the UK Royals, I understand it is because of some passport requirement of around the 1950's? that they were 'compelled' to select the name "Windsor" as their family name.
You, and the other members are quite welcome. I like to be of service whenever I can! :flower:Originally posted by King Christian@Nov 7th, 2003 - 1:00 pm
Thanks for the reference to the year of 1917, Tommix. That was the principle reason why I put a "?" after the year I mentioned, because I couldn't remember if it was something that happened around the end of the First World War, or after the Second World War.
Thank you for your tenacity in setting the record straight.![]()
