Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg.
 
The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha came to the British Royal Family in 1840 with the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, son of Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. Queen Victoria herself remained a member of the House of Hanover.

The only British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was King Edward VII, who reigned for nine years at the beginning of the modern age in the early years of the twentieth century.

King George V replaced the German-sounding title with that of Windsor during the First World War

Reminds me of a scene from Black Adder.:\

it is SO annoying when someone makes a complete @rse of himself and then the post is removed before I have a chance to read it. Still, I guess YF will soon be back to justify whatever he did say in order that we all realise that he was right after....hang on....

Fair play to the prince, hope it all goes well for him.
