From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Badge of the House, adpoted in 1938

The House of Windsor was formed in 1917 through a proclamation by King George V. The agnatic descendants of Albert, Prince Consort & Queen Victoria form a branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, while those of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh & Queen Elizabeth II are of the House of Glucksburg, though use the name Mountbatten-Windsor in reference to the Battenberg family to which Philip's mother belonged.

Elizabeth II changed the depiction of the royal arms to use St Edward's Crown instead of the Tudor crown, and include a compartment of grass behind the motto scroll. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, the new King Charles III returned to using the Tudor Crown, but in an updated version.
